    The food was excellent. We had the Kofte and the Lamb shish. Both were cooked well, presented well, and included a large side of rice and salad. The wait staff kept the water glasses full and were attentive without being overly attentive. However, the appetizer did not come until after the main dishes. The purpose of the 20% service charge was unclear, so we were unsure whether and what to tip. Better communication could resolve the few issues we encountered.
