   Wonderful food (and some unique dishes), decent prices, good service. Sometimes the overhead music gets a bit loud (be sure not to sit underneath a speaker), but everything else is wonderful. My last visit was about the 5th or 6th time for me (mostly at lunchtime), and I introduced yet another friend to this place. The menu can be a bit confusing, but the staff are extremely (emphasis added) helpful. The absolute go-to appetizer are the spreads: hummus, havuc, grilled red pepper dip (also on offer is an olive/walnut spread as well as a labneh mint dip) -- served with bread but do also get an order of the sumac chips. In the past I've shared the Gold Plate (chicken kabob, kofta, toum (garlic sauce). Have also enjoyed the falafel, as well as the pickle plate (these are pickled veg, not cucumber pickles). Most recent trip was a shared kofta pita (ground beef and lamb kebab, feta, toum, pink tahina). I was able to easily cut this in half (the knives provided in the set-ups were more than adequate to do so), and it was served with a salad. Wine selections are fine -- a bit overpriced for what they are, but several you will not find anywhere else. The staff have always been willing to let me and my party have a taste of a couple of wines before we commit to bottle; they haven't steered me wrong yet! There are other restaurants in the Mosaic District, to be sure, but The Kirby Club looks elegant (decor is really nice) but is not stuffy. If you like Middle Eastern style food that is raised up several notches. this is a great place to go.

   Such a nice dining experience. The food was excellent. We went with the Kebab Shindig for two. Service staff was attentive. Hopping atmosphere. We recommend it and will dine there again.

   The food is amazing! That’s why we go there- for the delicious food. the drinks are so-so. My biggest complaint is that I ordered a special coffee with cream and they brought me 3 travel coffee mates!! I had to return them and ask for milk, which they had. They apparently had no cream and they served my coffee without a spoon. Who serves coffee with convenient store style coffee mates??

   Very nicely set up. They have foregone what some other restaurants do in the Mosaic District which is operate in a concrete chamber that is impossible to have a conversation in and makes you want to get out in a hurry. Food is was amazing. Service was great and very friendly.

   Went for their Iftar experience and honestly it was great! Lots of options to choose from and a wide range menu! A lot of these items could be shared in which we did, but it was an overall great experience will definitely come back

   Bread came frozen and meat was dry and burnt. Had to wait long for everything including the check and they weren’t busy.

   Food was absolutely amazing and full of flavor. Service was great, I wish I remembered my server’s name but she was efficient, very bubbly and attentive. Overall, the environment was pleasant and the food was delicious!
