Great food & service!

Great experience. The shish taouk was tender & full of flavor. The dips were seasoned perfectly. The ribs completely melt on your tongue, although I thought the cream sauce they were served with added too much richness to the dish. The focaccia was okay. The star of the show was definitely the baklava pancake stack. Genuinely one of the best things that have ever graced my mouth. Would go back just for it.

Everything was excellent. However they told us it's a 2 hour service & we arrived late to our reservation & felt the food was coming way too quick. We could feel they needed the table & were pushing us out. But the food was delicious.
