"The only music this restaurant plays is sad violin music... Furthermore, the waitress has such attitude for no reason."

"The food was delicious and loved the spices in the food."
"The falafel was delicious and well cooked, the hummus and pita was phenomenal."
Cons:
"The food was bearable tho, I didn’t really get much flavors."
"Food was not worth the price or rating…went in with lot of expectation to have some fine Mediterranean dishes, especially desserts, but after tasting entree we decided it’s not worth to spend on dessert’s…"
"We ordered 4 different kinds of appetizers, all tasted out of a can (i.e. canned hummus...etc)."
"The grape leaves tastes so… bad."
"None of the items on the grill were up to the mark, lacking the distinct Mediterranean taste I was hoping for."
"The red lentil has too much cream in it which is unusual."
"The sauce was not too fresh."
Ambiance

"Casual (paper napkins) but classy atmosphere."
"The atmosphere is mellow but well lit and most importantly, very clean!!"

"When you take into consideration the uncomfortable tight seating, smaller portions and higher prices, you quickly come to the conclusion that the place isn’t worth visiting a second time."
"The restaurant is not very upscale and he pretends kids are not welcomed."
"The outside looks outdated but the interior design is modern and clean."
"At first, I was shocked by how small the place is."
"The only music this restaurant plays is sad violin music... it makes the whole experience irritating personally."
"The dining area is small with about a dozen or so tables and very clean."

Value
Pros:
"If this place was any cheaper with roomier dining space, I'd give it 5 stars."
"Great portions and pricing."
"The menu is reasonably priced."
"Portion sizes were big - definitely got our money’s worth."
"The food was delicious and the portion size was large enough to have leftovers."
"Appetizer, meal and drink for $17. The complimentary tea is the perfect ending."
"Although it says it's for 1, it's more than enough for 2 people with an app."
Cons:
"The hot mix platter rations were kind of tiny."
"Expensive for the small portions, needed to go home to eat more."
"But certainly not for this type of setup and location." (In reference to the value for money)
"Overall, a bit pricey."
"The portions are almost half of what you would get at any similar restaurant but at the same price or even a bit higher."
"The bill was high too compared to other restaurants."
"While most places are a bit overinflated in price these days for the cost here more of everything (especially the meat) would make it a better value."
Additional Services
Pros:
"The complimentary Turkish bread they provide is divine."
"Also, try one of the Wild Wonder juices. They're worth the price!"
"Their Turkish coffee is also worth a try if you're into espresso shots."

"Make sure you order their milk pudding. Tried it for the first time yesterday and it was very delicious with the caramelized crispy top."
"The house-made bread was a revelation."
"The Adana kebabs were SO flavorful that I barely touched the sauces."
Cons:
"No silverware for my takeout."
"Also, no regular water, so you are forced to buy bottled water/ juice/ soda."

"Shepherd salad doesn’t have onion."
"I'm not used to having to pay for more bread."
"The only negative was the white rice - nothing special there."
"It shouldn't be labeled a platter, the size is smaller than expected."
