Leaning a bit expensive because the portions are on the smaller end. Food: (5/5) I loved the food. The shakshuka was the best I've had in a long time.

Best culinary experience!! Amazing food! Kind and professional team !! Rita and Aviv made our night so special, we will definitely will come back! Branzino dish is a must
Really fresh salads! My chicken schnitzel was amazing! It was perfectly crispy. The mashed potatoes and salad that came with it was also perfect! Definitely make a reservation for brunch on the weekends as it does get busy.
I love this place. The food is delicious and the staff is kind. Great vibes. I will definitely recommend!
We had honestly just stumbled upon this place after just wandering and Mediterranean food sounded really good. Everything we had here was fantastic. We came here for a late lunch/brunch around 2:00pm and it was packed, playing amazing old pop and rock hits, it was loud but it 100% fit the vibe. The Smoked Eggplant Carpaccio was HEAVENLY. One of my favorite appetizers I've ever had. It was a mouthful of multiple experiences, smoky, fresh, citrusy, creamy. It had it all. Regarding the sides, the falafel trio was cooked amazing and had a really nice crispness to all of them and seasoned well. Both of our favorites were the 2 that were not spicy, the spicy one just didn't have a flavor profile I enjoyed too much. The fries were good and garlicky, not too many notes on these, pretty much just a really solid fry. The Labaneh Zaatar was fantastic, as most Labanehs are to me. It was creamy and thick, and the Zaatar was a good blend that paired well with it without being too overpowering. The pita that came with it was really fatty from the oil in the best way possible. It left a film on your fingers. The chicken schnitzel was pounded extremely thin so that every single bite was consistent and really crispy. It was salted well and adding the lemon juice made it even better. The Mashed potatoes and salad that came with it were also a nice pairing of fresh and decadent. Service was very attentive and very quick with everything!
Been awhile , but it's fun to come back . One of the more quality & consistent restaurants in the city with no fuss and PR. Excellent starters with their done to the right texture - hummus , beets & labane and smoked eggplant. Then the mains . Very good steakhouse style ribeye, fantastic not over cooked branzino and Yemen duck tacos . Great cosy atmosphere . Excellent service. Highly recommended!!!! Definitely a destination!!!!!
Oh my goodness, the food is INSANE. It was definitely my favorite spot I went to on my trip-- and I ate at a ton of great restaurants! The service was standard- staff were present and quick once you got their attention. The vibes of the restaurant is very chic and sultry (mood lighting, tasteful decor, etc) BUT the tables are so close together that you are practically eating with the people next to you. Also, the restaurant's music was too loud, so everyone had to practically yell to chat with their dinner guest to hear a thing. If they adjust the music and space tables a bit more appropriately, it would be an amazing spot!
You will be enchanted the moment you walk into this contemporary Middle eastern restaurant. The vibe is disco meets dance party. It is lively with crazy cool art and decor. The staff is so attentive and patient in describing their diverse menu. I think what I liked best was the food was so healthy. Everything stands out on its own. We had some expresso martinis and wine as we decided as to what to get. We shared a bunch of starters. We had the mushroom cigars with dipping sauces that was so delicious. Spicy and satisfying. The Smokey eggplant with pistachios and pomegranate was off the charts. The beets with artichokes was so satisfying we couldn't stop eating. The hummus was the center of yum!!!! The halibut on a bed of greens was so delicious and the special duck breast was beautiful to look at as well as to eat. Very cool restaurant with delicious healthy cuisine with an attentive caring staff.
