    It was our first time here and I must say the food was the best part about this place. The flavor is unmatched. Though I didn’t really like the mocktail- but I was trying the Bloodorange flavor for the first time so might be my palette difference. Other than that, the interior, staff, even COFFEE was great.

    Best middle eastern food in town. The food is exquisite. The menu has something for everyone. The holloumi cheese is a must so it’s the branzino. The hummus too. Well everything for that matter.

    The best brunch I have had in years, largely in part, to the sheer attention they place on quality. The playlist, friendly but relaxed service, presentation and selection all live up to the quality of the food and drinks on the menu. Highly recommend the trio dip, get with extra pita you can use to soak up the sauces and spreads from other dishes. What a beautiful spot, take someone you care about here.

    The food was fantastic, my friends and I truly enjoyed everything we tried off the menu. It was also ‘Martini Monday’ which was great, we got to enjoy some fairly priced martinis made to order. Service was excellent, as well as the ambience. Quite impressed, I will be back!
