    Crispy mushrooms were A MUST order. We got the labneh dip which came with the freshest pita bread. The octopus was cooked perfectly and every single bite of our meal was so magical.

    I’ll start with the food - fantastic! Delicious, interesting combinations and beautifully presented. Our server was lovely. Us four being in our mid 50s and in a very noisy restaurant, our server spoke quite quietly even when we demonstrated we couldn’t hear. We basically went with the menu descriptions rather than her narration. We were also told when we arrived that we had the table for only two hours. One hour and a half into our meal we were reminded of this and felt pressure to rush through the rest. No time to consider dessert or coffee. Irritating. The noise level was loud and when glasses broke on the floor or a tray of something metal fell it was jarring. I’d like to return to Azhar but not with a strict rush you out the door while you pay a $400 bill way and to pick a time when it would be a lot quieter - suggestions?

    Thank you so much for the lovely words about the food and your server! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the menu and felt well taken care of. The energy in the room definitely picks up during peak hours, especially on weekends. We’d love to have you back mid-week or for brunch!

    Such a great place for a date night or girls night! The shareables are filling and so flavourful. Highly recommend the baba ghanoush, the balsamic is such a good twist. They are a little cheap when it comes to accommodating allergies - asked for some cucumbers to dip while my friends could enjoy the pita and we had to sacrifice a portion of the bread in order to get some cucumber ¿? Then we asked for a bit more cause the portion was so small and they asked for $3 for a small bowl of cucumber. Only complaint - otherwise delish!

    Thanks for joining us for girls night! We hope to host you all again soon!

    Extremely noisy for dinner. Tough to have any conversation. Perhaps the music can be toned down.
