Great outside patio. Server was very attentive. Food was fabulous.
The person responsible for to go orders was super rude, besides that the food was terrible
Sam did a great job!
waiter was very helpful on suggestion of food
New to the houka scene, but food and service were excellent!
Service was excellent. Vidal talked with us and let us know the history of the place. He really had phenomenal customer service.
The smell of Shisha was way too strong.
Service was atrocious
The Veggie Plate was over fried.The chicken tikka plate was awesome.Hummus was good
We had great service from the waiter.
The employees were very friendly and helpful.
Fried Cauliflower with tahini sauce perfect. Halloumi fried to perfectiion. Soulvaki grilled on a bed of heavenly basmati. Fun to watch the muscular waiters pick up girls, they have an art form to their charm when they are in action.
The food was excellent. The waiter was very attentive. We ordered and appetizer. They took too long to serve appetizer, and when they did, the entrée was served right after. Needless to say we had to take appetizer home, otherwise, the entrée would have gotten cold. Too much food served at once.
Friendly service great food and clean business
The female waitress acted like it was a bother to bring a couple things that we ask for. Lite soy sauce.extra ginger. Serving plates, forks., basic things.Will not go back.
love the food and your patio!
Nice but smokey
Our server was very patient and good!
The food was lackluster. The french fries seemed like it was fried in days old oil.
Food was dry
Fresh and fast.
Our waiter, Greg, was great! Very attentive and personable!
Beat expectation!
the food and the service are always fantastic. Great knowledgeable & friendly staff.
We came for lunch and were the only customers for about 30 minutes. Very clean, quiet, easy to find and plenty of parking.
Out of Kendall Jackson. Out of filet mignon.
the service was great and our waitress was great,it made for a lovely evening we will be back.
We had excellent service last night, the food was great as well.
Bread didn't arrive until was were almost finished eating...and we asked 3 times! Waitress was never around.
Slow service
Great staff. Clean environment
hummus was made from powder, food had no flavor, more Americans or people who can't handle spice.
Excellent food, atmosphere and service
Food was decent but the service here is poor. Long wait for food and good luck trying to get a drink refill. Servers are uninterested and careless.
Great food and reasonable price. Nice & Relaxed atmosphere. We enjoyed it!
Poor Service and burned food.
Great food and very fun atmosphere. Lively and lots of hookah (which we didn't participate in, but still found colorful).
Julie was great. She was very pleasant and made sure we didn't need anything. Food was delicious. The place is very nice and much larger than it appears from the outside.
service of the food was very slow we were there for more than 2 hours waiting on our food.
The food was wonderful for the price -- I will definitely return. The olive oil they use gave everything a lovely flavor. Our server was outstanding; attentive, classy, and sincerely helpful. It was a little bit awkward that the restaurant had more employees than customers at peak dinner hours, though. I used to be a restaurant manager, and it might be hard for them to keep such quality servers if they overstaff. (Just a hint, take it or leave it!) Overall, I will definitely recommend this place, and will be back soon!
Amazing food, tell all my friends in the mood for mediterranean...
Its nearby my house. Walked inside frequently to get the waiter while he chatted with other waitresses. Food was not great. Received appetizer AFTER dinner was served.
Food was sub par
Thank you for having such great service, food, and huka. please keep it up.
A great place to relax and enjoy the company of friends!
