“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“Tried Sultan Mediterranean after finding a BOGO deal online and honestly… such a good spot for a fun night out with friends. The drinks were flowing (we had about 6 altogether 😭) and everything we ordered kept getting better. The Hot Blooded cocktail was one of my favorites, the mojitos were super flavorful, and the espresso martini was perfectly balanced.

For appetizers, the grilled calamari completely surprised me in the best way, the buffalo wings were actually REALLY good, and the shrimp with roasted garlic + toast was insanely appetizing. Portions were generous too, so you definitely get a lot for your buck. I’ve also had their falafel before and it’s so good it’ll genuinely make you question if there’s meat in it 😂

Overall, great vibes, tasty Mediterranean food, strong drinks, and a really good time with friends. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.“

“Fantastic food with large portions and reasonable prices. The bread is out of this world! It is delicious with the babaganoush, hummus or soup. The falafel was crunchy and flavorful. The kabob was juicy. I wish I'd received the tea that I ordered because it smelled spicy.“

The drinks were strong, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering. The service was fast and attentive, and our food came out quickly without sacrificing quality. Everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and delicious. If you’re looking for great food, good music, strong cocktails, and excellent service, I highly recommend Mira Mediterranean & Hookah Lounge. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Delicious food and amazing service. Can’t beat the lunch special. Excellent!“

“Overall a great time. I started at the bar and the bartender Kate was beyond rude. Too bad she made good drinks. Once my guests arrived, I moved to a table. Our server Gabriela was a gentle gem and directed us toward the best items on the menu. I will NOT return to a bar seat due to the stiff bartender. Table service is attentive and takes care of you.“

“After a cold and windy morning, not being able to get into one of the morning shows, we ran across this little restaurant by accident for brunch. They quickly welcomed us in with open arms and fresh hot coffee. It was one of the best brunches I've ever had, but what made it even more special was Joey the owner overheard our story, knowing we had a rough morning, and gifting us one of his comfort food cookbooks! The day couldn't have been any better. I can't wait to try one of his delicious Italian recipes this holiday season. I highly recommend the Little Owl. I certainly will be going back in the future!“

“Ali is the greatest server! The food was incredible. The drinks were on point! Will definitely be back.“

“10/10 Food and Ambience 😍“

“We went for dinner on a weekday. The place was too noisy, you could not hear the person sitting opposite you, it was probably bad for my ears honestly. Please don't bring a date here lol.

The food was good, but felt kinda overpriced. If you like Scarpetta you'll like this.“

She was handling the busy crowd so well, she made our night memorable! Along with the view of the bridge and the city added to the overall ambiance. We will back to visit when we are back in the city from California.“
