Being Christmas Eve, the restaurant was packed. Martin was extremely knowledgeable in food and wine. The food was incredible. We shared the charred eggplant, it's not what we expected, since it was more of a puree. Next we shared the grilled octopus, which was amazing! The chicken dish was also exceptional. If we lived in Charlottesville, we would definitely come back.
I want to shout to the world that the manti dumplings were one of the absolute best things I have ever put in my mouth. I can't even describe it. And everything else was very good, too. But those dumplings! Dang! The server was great, the atmosphere was busy but not overwhelming, and I loved watching the bartender work. Will definitely come back.
Pricier, more upscale version of Sultan Kebab down the street. Food is very good, among the best Turkish or Mediterranean around. Kitchen and cooks are visible. Small portions, so don't expect to feel very full. Inside is nicely decorated but a little cramped.
