    When you walk through the shadowed glass doors of Talulla's, an instant transformation begins to occur. Your mind and body begin to relax. Your ears pick up on the eclectic mix of music. Your eyes wonder around the walls, decorated in Turkish rugs; then the ceilings, scattered with warm, unique lighting pieces; then the floors... the dark, hardwood floors; and finally, across the plush seating areas, disguised by cushions and pillows and fabric leisurely draped around the frames.

    We hadn't been to Nanas in a while (more than a year) but decided to go again as a family to celebrate my adult son's birthday. I'm glad we did. The food and service were excellent (especially the food: the chicken liver pate and roast chicken were the best we've ever had). We are definitely planning on returning soon. The only negative is that the parking situation sucks.
