Food is good! Portions small for the price you pay. Chicken shish Taouk for 32$ it's not even a full brochette Over price. Nice hang out place! Servers unknowing they keep showing up at your table to pick up empty & unempty dishes. Beer no choice. !

First time there - was really impressed. We were four people & shared 9 dishes (they suggest 2-3 per person). Loved or really liked them all.
Staff was on point. Great suggestions, came back to check often to make sure everything was to our liking.
Going back for sure.
