“Went on a holiday evening. My friend and I had a great time here! Food was delicious and price was fair. 💛✨🫓The appetizer and plate was huge, came with 2 pitas! Seasoning was impressive and diverse. 🧡🎏🎣Salmon kebab was surprisingly good. It was grilled perfectly with crispy edge while the meat was still juicy. The portion was big. Lamb sausage was kinda the same as salmon kebab (sides). It was slightly dry but flavorful. Baklava was fair. Huge piece, tasty, but soggy already.”

“We were looking for a dog-friendly restaurant on a Saturday night and stumbled upon this place. The staff, especially our waiter Louis, were very accommodating and found us an outdoor table right away. They were very nice to our dog (and us) the whole time. The Black Iris pitza was delicious. The hummus, and the Juliet and Romeo cocktail were all solid. We'll be back.”

“Good food! Had the chicken gyro (3.5/5) which tastes good and had lots of chicken. Hummus (4/5) with the flat bread was also delicious as well. The chicken souvlaki (4/5) was my fav - nice large chunks of ulxube chicken that wasn't too dry.”

“Nice and cozy place to eat! Mezze had some great dips my favorite the labneh and hummus. Was bit underwhelmed with the chickpea salad and beet salad. The lamb sausage on the other hand was full of flavor and had a kick of spice. Very tasty!”
