What an amazing little find! We went here to celebrate Mother's Day with a party of 12 (including my Mother, who is a difficult person to please) and really have only outstanding feedback to give. The restaurant handled our chaos like experts. Everything was meticulously set up. Our server, despite it being her second shift, was knowledgeable and attentive and charming. And then, most importantly was the food. Every dish we ordered was phenomenal but the meat (lamb!) skewers, duck, cauliflower dish deserve special mention. Overall, we cannot wait to go back. Thank you for making Mother's Day for myself, my mother and my sister-in-law and unforgettable experience.

Our server today made Mother’s Day so special. She was attentive but gave us time to talk. The manager came to check on us as well. The food was outstanding and the atmosphere is unbeatable

They changed the size of the skewers and they are very small now for $8 a piece. They also came out cold which was a bit of a bummer. It’s still great food with a nice ambiance and quick service so don’t write it off!

Perfect special occasion place that isn't stuffy/overly formal. Also works for a group that is mixed vegetarians and meat-eaters as there are great options for both.
