On the service side, our waitress brought everything we ordered all at once — the babaganoush, falafel, fattoush salad and shish tawook. Previously, the food was coursed for us so things like the falafel and shish tawook arrived fresh and hot, not tepid and somewhat dry, which they were. Obviously, the two hot items would have tasted much better if served fresh and if not left sitting under a warmer while the rest of the food was prepared. The only other suggestion for the back of the house is to stop dousing the babaganoush with a ton of olive oil. It was much better back when all the kitchen did was dress it with a drizzle.
