Very good food, vibe, and staff. My friend and I shared some amazing lamb kebab and beitenjan. The eggplant in the beitenjan was a bit softer than I prefer, and the dish was very sweet. Even still, it was delicious! The lamb was amazing, too. The limonana was perfect. We dined on the deck upstairs under some charming string lights which created a very cute and intimate atmosphere. The staff was so friendly, too! I look forward to coming back to try more dishes.

The food is AMAZING, The service was professional, courteous and pleasant. The Atmosphere is nice enough, what earned 2 stars was the chairs.

Unfortunately, the portion sizes have gotten so small that I don’t think I’ll be coming back. I just ordered a chicken bowl for around $20 and was shocked at how little chicken was included. I actually weighed it: just 94 grams (about 0.2 lbs).

It’s a shame — the food is...
