I had moussaka. Was quickly served, a large amount, delicious, & high-quality! The tabbouleh was sweetened with pomegranate. Good but a little too sweet after some bites. Got to take some leftovers home. Somewhat pricey at $25 for the plate & $10 for orange juice, but I would like to return some time & try more of their stuff!
