    Komaaj is one of the best restaurants I have been to in a very long time. From the service to the food and ambience, everything was amazing! Our server was very knowledgeable about the food and ingredients as well as giving us great wine pairing recommendations for our meal. The food is just incredible with so much flavor and uniqueness. Every single bite we took was a fantastic experience and we cannot wait to go back! I have heard the weekend brunch is a MUST try so I can’t wait to go back soon!!!! 5 stars for food and customer service all the way!

    Fabulous food! The kababs are juicy, tender and flavorful. The eggplant pawkora (my favorite!) Polite, efficient service. White table cloths! NOT a place to take young children.
