    Wait staff are not attentive. Didn't come back to our table after they served our entree. Only returned when we wanted the bill. We would have ordered another drink. Plate with burger and fries was very bare, poor presentation. The 2 tentacles served with the octopus salad did not taste very good . For the price, the food served wasn't worth the cost. It was our first experience, I doubt we will return.

    A really nice place that isn't loud and feels upscale. The fattoush salad was remarkable and different than what one would expect. The halloumi is a definite must get. The sauce is impeccable. The lamb was tender but the flavor lacked a bit. The chickpeas weren't cooked thoroughly so that took away from enjoying the entire meal without having to remove the chickpeas. They do have a kids menu so if you're taking kids, it is perfectly fine.
    Diwan at the Aga Khan MuseumResponded on November 14, 2024
    Hi Neena, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the ambiance and loved the fattoush salad and halloumi—it’s wonderful to hear those stood out to you. We're sorry to hear that the lamb and chickpeas didn’t fully meet your expectations and appreciate your feedback, which helps us refine our dishes. We're glad the kids’ menu added to your experience as well. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable visit!

    Such a peaceful and calming location. The food was superb. Shared the eggplant share plate and the falafel bowl. Fries too. And the Mango Lassi was exceptional. Had wonderful service. A bit pricey for lunch but worth it.
