“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.“

“In town for work from Seattle (where there is a tragic lack of Bosnian food). This is exactly what I needed after my long flight. Went out of my way to come here before going into downtown, and it did not disappoint!

The Cevapi were incredible; juicy, flavorful and the Kajmak was perfect!

There was no Cevapi left standing.

I will make it a requirement to stop here again next time I’m in town.

The owner was very sweet and sat and chatted with me for a while, I would give 10 stars if I could!“

“Pulled up for a bday night & my experience was great! Ordered the branzino & that came with a side of veggies , which was all well seasoned & tasty! The hookah was great as well. All in all, the vibes in here are calm, laid-back yet classy and luxurious.

I def recommend if you want to pop out for an occasion & a great time 🙌🏽☺.“

“We LOVE this place. My partner and I were visiting NYC for our Babymoon and had heard Florentin was delicious, but we were blown away. Not only was the food fantastic (we had steak frites), the service was impeccable. Sammy was an incredible host that made our night even more enjoyable!! He was welcoming, fun, and generous. As my partner and I were celebrating, he made us feel so special and taken care of by providing us with mint tea & tiramisu that was to DIE FOR. Literally, I would give anything for more of that tiramisu! Thank you so much to the staff at Florentin, and a very big thank you to Sammy for a wonderful experience! We can’t wait to return“

“I tried their salta, which is a sort of vegetable stew. It was excellent, served the right way in the traditional bowl with the right kind of bread. It isn't meant to be a fine dining experience, more like the ones you find all over Yemen. I'll go back and try some of their other yemeni dishes...and you should, too!“

“My wife and I threw a Bridal Shower here and Vaso and her team were OUTSTANDING!!!! They went above and beyond to make our guests feel comfortable and welcome.
The food and drinks were delicious and well presented. The Zucchini Fritters were excellent.“

“Where do I even begin? The pita? Perfect texture and taste. The cherry tomatoes? Obviously fresh, juicy, and sourced from a great farm. The romain? Plentiful and CRISP. The Dill and Taziki sauce? Also VERY fresh, has a citrus kick somewhere, and seems to be made fresh as well. Because it doesn't taste like a store bought sauce filled with preservatives. The hummus? That might actually be where the citrus is from. However, the hummus is not overly salty! You can actually taste the Chickpeas and they use good ingredients as well as olive oil for the hummus too! The chicken? Is in NO way shape or form dry and it's actually seasoned! It's juicy and normal is it overcooked. The olives? Brothers and sisters I HATE olives by themselves, rarely on certain foods. But these olives are not overpowering and stealing the flavor profile, it just adds more depth to the flavor bomb of the Greek chicken Pita! The feta? What could be bettah? Seriously though if you can see this picture you should've seen that they don't skip on the feta either. Again the flavor is ALL the way there but not overpowering. While the texture is almost creamy. Probably with assistance from the sauce but still, it's not overly dry! 10/10 Would recommend & I will be back! Now the facility was spotless, the cleanest "fast food" I've ever seen. The staff? Phenomenonal, personable, kind, attentive to details, and downright superstars that make that place run like clockwork! Wooooo wo weeeee wo!!! If you haven't been here then you've got to go!! Moderate prices, exceptional ingredients, lovely staff, and clean facilities(where the staff actually care like the NW Expressway location in OKC). I'm out, ty for listening to my Ted talk! 🫡“

“I had a really great experience at CAVA:) The food was fresh, flavorful, and everything tasted amazing. There were so many options to choose from, and everything was well prepared and presented nicely. The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was nice, and my order was prepared quickly. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back again. Great food and great service!“

“Ada is a great restaurant and an enjoyable place to spend an evening/ celebration with family and friends! The staff and host are always so welcoming and pleasant. The delicious food and desserts speaks for themselves always made fresh and presented with such style. We recently celebrated a birthday and had such an amazing evening thanks to Selchuk and the staff.“

“Amizigh Food Truck was hired for our company picnic and everyone loved the food! They had a staff of 3 friendly workers and the line moved fast. I had a combination Moroccan chicken, Shawarma, and Falafel combination bowl that was so good! The burritos also looked great, as did the vegetarian options. So glad my company chose them!“

“I went there with my boyfriend and his father during a trip in NYC and we weren’t disappointed. My boyfriend had the kofta kobab which had a very meaty texture. His father had the wild mushroom kobab and I took the braised "beef". Everything was delicious, including the dessert (ekmek kataifi) which wasn’t too sweet, just perfect 😊“
