A wonderful place to go with a group to experience as many of the tasty dishes as you can. Sadly, I was solo, but treated so well I felt like a queen. But you can only eat so much!! I would have liked to try it all, but the tasting menu option was still too much for one person. Highly recommend the eggplant - deep fired puffs of eggplant heaven with Garni of apricots and candied walnuts and yogurt. YUM!
