We came for brunch on a Saturday. I had the fatteh. It was too dry. Not enough yogurt sauce. & the impossible Kafta, barely there. I asked for some more yogurt, they got me a tablespoon of yogurt in a little bowl. I didn't finish my plate. Too dry. Not what fatteh should be. My friends had the waffles & fried chicken. Chicken was good. Waffles were dry. Service though was excellent. The food, disappointing :(

Cool concept but really unfortunately not worth it for the price. The restaurant had really weird & sterile vibes, but at least sitting at the bar was nice. The drinks were not good, & some were served in glasses that did not fit the drinks at all. The service was not very professional & food was alright, but service would take it away before you're done eating.
