Great brunch! Avocado toast and French toast were great. Oh, and get the cheesy roll things.

Mmm really incredible food, fresh, colorful, nutritious, and aesthetically appealing with great service and cozy intimate vibes.

The stuffed grape leaves and mezze plate are an absolute must!

Everything is incredibly luscious, creamy, flavors are well balanced, and I loved the sweet crunch of pomegranate seeds on top.

Dragging warm fresh pita through thick labneh and smoky babaganouj was the highlight of my meal. Lots of vegan/veggie options as well.

Don’t miss out on these flavors/textures/tastes!! And obviously get the baklava cheesecake for dessert!

I ordered delivery from this restaurant just a few blocks away, and it took a little over an hour to arrive. I got a sandwich and a soup, both were edible but lacked flavor and definitely weren’t worth the wait. The meat in the sandwich was dry and powdery and the soup had the consistency of baby food.

I think this is perfect if you’re looking for a basic Mediterranean place with kebabs, etc. Nothing special about the atmosphere. It’s a basic standard New York restaurant.

Very disappointing pick up order. We ordered two chicken gyros and one chicken kebab and side of grape leaves and extra pita and a lentil soup that came out to $100. We got zero pita breads for the entire order. The chicken gyro was basically seasoned small chunks of chicken (not the gyro were used to). We got sides of salads with zero salad dressings. So basically we got a big bowl of chicken with lettuce and tomato. The grape leaves were mid. The lentil soup and hummus were delicious. Overall not what we expected given the high ratings and not a satisfying meal for $100.

Baklava cheesecake… are you kidding me?!
Flaky, creamy, nutty, unreal. Every bite was rich but balanced, a perfect twist on two classics. Easily one of the most special desserts I’ve had in a long time. If it’s on the menu, don’t even think—just order it. 🍰✨

Had an amazing meal — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Our server, Luis, was outstanding — friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations. Can’t wait to come back!

The food was amazing and drinks equally as good. If you’re lucky enough to be taken care of by Luis, then the experience is a 10/10.
