Had the Chicken tajine and it was AHmazing! The staff was great and very helpful. I came in looking for comfort food and this dish did not disappoint. I’d share a pic if I could figure out how. It’s a BYOB, so grab some friends and go for an intimate cozy night!

We passed by on a windy day and found the outdoor patio to be quite warm - though there wasn't any shade protecting against the sun
The grilled octopus was nice, but their vegetables were quite burnt
The lamb tajine was somewhat small, but was very tender and fell off the bone. The ouzi chicken filled with rice and was a bit on the dry side.

Not sure if I've reviewed this place before as we've been coming about 9 years--which should tell you a lot. One of our favorite places to eat. Nice, friendly staff & the food is soooooo good! Highly recommend the Seafood Pizza, the Babaganoush, the Salmon Shish Kabab plate, & the salmon entre. My dude loves those dishes as well as the cheeseburger which he says rivals any burger he's had. For dessert, the Labne Cheesecake is awesome!
