Despite how crowded it was, service was surprisingly attentive. Certain dishes were overpriced, but all of them were good quality. The best dish of the meal was the Beyti Kebab. Will definitely be back

Starting out we were struggling to find street parking and the realized they have free parking in a lot for there restaurant! Which is rare for the city. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was very good. Our table had the onion soup and Lentil soups. Both were great. The eggplant appetizer was the waitress’s favorite and soon became ours as well. We had the half chicken and the lamb kabobs. The flavors were wonderful. We look forward to coming back soon.
