Went to catch up with some family over some light bites after a film screening nearby. Waiter and manager both very friendly; they went above and beyond to help find something my mom (on a very limited diet) could eat. I had the green shakshuka and it was really tasty.

Alert - portion sizes just went down. We order the salmon burger with fries and tofu with squash noodles once a week and noticed major shrinkage today. Fewer fries and less squash. Tofu might have also been smaller. For $23 and $22, respectively, this is a shame.

Not the best, not the worst. Echoing other reviews, the appetizers were quite good. The lamb kefta and grilled halloumi were spot on, although I’m not sure about pairing salty halloumi with sweet grapes. The portions for the main dishes were ridiculously small, however. $24 for a grilled chicken kebab that was one bland skewer? Also, keep in mind they do not do substitutions. I am GF and asked for the couscous to be swapped with another side dish and was told I’d have to pay...
