    Food was amazing. Service was slow at beginning (we waited about 15 minutes to be greeted). Food came fast, but then service slowed again. Felt ignored

    My falafel was very overcooked. They didn’t have any of the red wines on the by-glass menu that we wanted to order. The bottle we ordered was overpriced. I chose the restaurant for the group and I was embarrassed.

    Great experience. Went for a special (sad) anniversary and they gave us the perfect table and were very attentive. Food was delicious. Best dish was the Special Citir Kebab which was beautifully presented and melted in your mouth. Also enjoyed the alinazek and baklava. Will definitely be going back and would recommend to others.
