I love to try all kinds of food, and when my friend recommended this place, I was just blown away. Good hummus, tasty meats, good wine. A bit on the pricy side (at least for my low income) but worth every penny, if you ask me, I had the lamb chops, which were amazing, followed by the bread pudding, which was delicious but so rich I couldn't finish it. Also nice just to sit in the place, very pleasant atmosphere. When we went, it was no longer BYOB, so it's much more convenient.

The food is fresh and well prepared, the service above average, and the decor unique.I usually dine here for lunch a couple of times a week. Careful with their garlic sauce; it tends to linger.
