Still my favorite restaurant in Burlington after many years. Revisited last week for the first time in a couple of years and everything was phenomenal. The menu is ever changing but some classics remain - the muhamarra and baba ganoush served with warm pita are perfect. Also have been dreaming of the halloumi. Even my extremely picky eating 15 year old brother tried and loved almost everything which is a huge testament to this place. Order as many dishes as you can and savor each bite!
Favorite restaurant in Burlington right now. Menu is out of this world and changes regularly. Make sure to try the dips! Also a great and creative cocktail list. And for goodness sake do yourself a favor and get the tahini Sundae. Otherwise what are you doing with your life.
I wanted to love this so much because we waited so long to get in and it was our anniversary. AND I love Grey Jay so expectations were high. To be succinct, the food was unspectacular and we waited a 1/2 hour between dishes. Furthermore, our server got us one drink and nothing else to drink that evening (not even more water). Sadly, we won't be racing back here. Perhaps we just hit a bad night.

Small plates - great for sharing - great presentation and service - must start with fresh baked pita and hummus

really delightful mezze for a special occasion (read: $$$). menu was inspired and lively, atmosphere was warm but peaceful. hard to pick one highlight dish or drink; everything was a standout except the dolma (too loose, not tender enough - respectfully i would visit some homestyle syrian/leb restaurants for inspo and rethink those). i especially appreciated the thoughtful flow of service: it's a tight space with near-constant serving and bussing due to the small plate format so i could easily see it getting hectic, but the flow of people and food through the restaurant was so smooth, almost serene from a customer POV. that takes work! hands down would come again

I really love the food here, but come on....$23 for literally 3 bites of hanger steak? The only dish worth its price is the Kale Salad - totally flavorful and a decent portion. Other portions are so small and expensive. Plus our waiter suggested we order 3-4 dishes a piece, and do it right away and the kitchen would pace the delivery. Way to sell sell sell. Sadly, I don't think I'll be back any time soon.

My first experience with Mediterranean food, it was amazing!! Highly
We were extremely pleased with how delicious the food was! It’s tapas style with small plates, which I really appreciated because it let you try a variety of different foods. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the service was phenomenal! Our waitress Sam went above and beyond and we really enjoyed talking with her. The different flavors and spices stood out from a lot of other restaurants I’ve tried in the Burlington area. Our favorite dish was the grape leaf dolma! We also enjoyed the seared halloumi, sweet harissa chicken wings, grilled octopus, lamb kofta, and braised duck. My only recommendation would be to offer a little more food for the price, we really enjoyed the halloumi but it was $16 for two pieces of cheese. Honey Road has moved to the top as our favorite restaurant in the Burlington area after living here since 2019.
The best restaurant in Burlington Vermont right now! I love a Mediterranean flair. Warm Pita bread, home made hummus and babaganoush, bet wings ever, awesome halibut l, the grape leaves oh my, and don't even get me started about the delish baklava. Amazing amazing just go

OMG this place is like a flavor party in your mouth. Such unique and interesting blends of Eastern Mediterranean flavors. We were visiting Burlington and stumbled upon this place by chance. Would definitely repeat next time.Every plate was amazing in its own way. Portions are on the smaller side, so if you’re hungry you’ll probably want to order a good amount of plates.The roasted carrots and house ricotta with honey was a creamy dream, so tasty!! It’s a small plate so not sure I would repeat.The braised lamb and simit bun is amazing. Would recommend ordering one per person, it’s hard to share and is a must try.Kale salad with tahini sauce is great, easy to share and decently sized.Oh and the lamb kofta, great texture, amazing combination of flavors. Highly recommended.We didn’t try any drinks but by the looks of it , they looked like they would be such intriguing blends.This place for sure exceeded my expectations.

This place was beyond! Every bite was a gleam into a heavenly burst of flavors that left me very well satiated. The hallumi cheese with lemon marmalade and grilled pear was next level..also I ordered their homemade pickles and added some jalapeños to the bite and it made it complete. I can't say enough about our meal and I don't want to say too much because often times the best part of the experience is the surprise and delight element. The staff was caring, gracious and went above and beyond for my food allergies. Love this place! Will be back next time we visit!

Food was great but the atmosphere was a drag. The music was a 90s alt radio station, I think sugar ray played twice.
