Service

Pros:

  • "Service pretty good, friendly and correct."

  • "The waiter was completely absent despite us asking the bus boy to call the waiter to order a second round of drinks."

  • "Very good food. The tagine was flavorful and arrived quickly and the fried artichokes were delicious."
  • "The classic falafel + hummus was up to par, followed by two of the most incredible seafood tapas we’ve ever had."

Cons:

  • "The food was just OK."
  • "The prices were high and all of the dishes we ordered were mediocre at best."
  • "And while the bread pudding was decent, it was served with whipped cream from a spray can."
  • "The meats didn’t taste like they’d been marinated long enough, everything was just a little bland."
  • "I had very high expectations - ordered the Meme Cous Cous - very average - the broth, the chicken and the cous cous - all lacked flavor."
  • "The lamb chops were like 70% bone and 30% meat."
  • "The Baklava was a bit too dry."

Ambiance

Pros:

  • "Cozy, nostalgic vibes."

Cons:

  • "It was pretty loud inside so we opted for an outdoor table."
  • "First - look at the ceiling they have use cheap plywood boards that’s used for roofing."
  • "The only feedback I had was the acoustics become difficult once the restaurant is full. It becomes hard to hear."
  • "The noise level here depends on the clients, I've come on crowded nights and found it quiet, and on less crowded nights it was noisy."
  • "Friendly service, though it was drafty sitting by the windows people-watching."
  • "If I could make one suggestion for improvement....put sound reduction tiles on the ceiling....the din can be distracting from the atmosphere."

  • "The prices were high and all of the dishes we ordered were mediocre at best."
  • "The drinks were very good, but light on the alcohol."
  • "It’s a little pricy but the ingredients are all so fresh and it’s delicious."
