Owner and employees are very friendly and that makes for a great place to eat and relax
We did the restaurant week promo and it was amazing ! Honestly the app itself is worth a visit. And then arriving at the food - delicious ! I have to give special kudos to our waitress Sara, she was so kind and accommodating, and consistently checked in on our table to see if we needed anything. We are definitely coming back!
We visited during New Brunswick Restaurant Week and because of the air quality from the Canadian wildfires, dined inside. We ordered the Feast special, and every dish was outstanding! The appetizer platter was full of flavor, especially the caramelized spinach and falafel. The mixed meat platter was delicious, and even the rice was cooked perfectly. After dinner, the owner recommended a flavorful decaf coffee to enjoy with the baklava, which was the perfect ending to the meal....read full review
