I will go back

Absolutely awful. Stay far away from this place.
The music was so loud it felt like torture — I left with a splitting headache and ear pain that lasted all night. The food? Disgusting and overpriced. The hookah? Burnt and barely smokable. And the service? Rude, unprofessional, and just plain terrible.

They charge you like it’s a five-star restaurant, but deliver like a back alley dive. And to top it all off, they force you to leave a tip — basically robbing you on the way out. This place is a total scam and an insult to anyone looking for a decent night out. Never again.

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The service was extremely slow from start to finish. It took a long time just to get our food, and when it finally arrived, they brought the soup and the main dish at the same time — completely ruining the flow of the meal. After we finished eating, we were left waiting for more than an hour just to get the bill, with no one checking in or offering any explanation. It felt like we were completely forgotten. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend it based on this experience.

Relaxed spot but expensive for no reason

The vibe is good.... service is HORRIBLE! Asked for coke 5 times and FINALLY got it after 30 minutes. Asked for check 4 times and got it after 20 minutes. Never coming back.

The atmosphere looks good but the food was very normal to me. Also, I did not l like that they were calculating a tip already in their bill that is a must to be paid not optional.

Parking: Next to the restaurant a lot of free parking available.

RIP OFF - Watch out, they charge a mandatory 18% gratuity. Drinks and food are overpriced. They don't have a menu for you to look through, just the app, which you can't see well on a small mobile phone. The quality of food is so-so.

I love coming here often—it’s a very nice spot! I always get free parking with a warm greeting from all the hosts, plus the security man at the door is always friendly. The venue has two sections: one with live Middle Eastern music and a DJ, and another with a more restaurant-like atmosphere where you can still see the live music downstairs through the windows. They seem to have good soundproofing if you prefer a quieter experience.

All the servers are very nice, respectful, and professional. This time, Blen took care of me, ensuring I had everything I needed and checking up on me at just the right times. The other staff members I’ve met before were also amazing! I highly recommend this place!
