chi shiJanuary 29, 2011go with a bunch of ppl so you can taste more appetizers. Everything was so good. Didn't really enjoy arak (licorice flavored liquor)
Fallon RelaySeptember 14, 2012<3 the Brussels sprouts. You can order the chicken kebab with white meat only (if that's your thing).
Mark RussoJune 30, 2010Food is great. Loved it. Had some middle eastern Egg Benedict. Yummy! One down side my dish came out 10 after my friends - not so good, but got a 20 discount.

The best creamiest magic yogurt in the world :)
Yoriko OkamotoApril 15, 2018The food was really good, but servers' attitudes were not good. They're not welcome for us, so I was very disappointed. Hopefully, their atmosphere will be better next time.
My favorite restaurant in the city...everything is good, but try the duck shwarma
