    Why would you charge $450 for a $50 tequila. That’s a rip off

    Three siblings interested in Mediterranean cuisine. Didn’t realize this was a more geared to music and parties. The front desk was very prompt and friendly in seating us. Service was prompt and attentive. All the food we ordered was outstanding: Baba Ganoush, cauliflower appetizer, flatbreads and challah bread. Tacos were ok but more my problem. They had an Israeli Cabernet I hadn’t tried before. Only regret was too loud and for some reason we were by ourselves in the group/party section. Would have loved to be here in a group

    Great place to surprise the special people in your life with an amazing time. Super lit and high energy. Food is top tier and so is the service. Absolutely loved trying the electric hookahs for our first time.

    Our server, I believe was Pedro, was great! Very attentive and on top of everything. It was our first time so we arrived a bit early. Next time, we’ll plan on arriving around 9pm which is when the fun started. Overall great experience. Kind of wish they had an open dance floor. Everyone just kind of stands by their tables to dance.

    Horrible experience the waitress was rude when we told her the lamb chops had a funky smell And taste. It wasn’t the normal smell of lamb. Seemed to me the meat had gone bad.

    The price for the food id too high for what you get is a mediocre level middle eastern dishes. We asked for Harrisa and it had probable gone bad ( fermented ). The cocktails are way above the average price.

    Service was okay but it is over priced and if you want to see the dancers you better not get there early because they usually start around 10pm. I made reservations at 7pm for my birthday and let’s just say I didn’t get to see the show.

    Good food, definitely shareable! Drinks are also great. Dance music begins around 11pm Expect it to be loud, it’s a lounge/club atmosphere — not a sit down “chill” dinner. Will definitely be back!

    Was here once in October and once more yesterday. They definitely have upgraded since. The food is bomb and hookah too. I also lost my hat last night but I called them and they found it. So A+ for that and thank goodness I didn’t jacked, its definitely a party place! Love the there’s a dj! Total vibe

    This ISNT a place for a young crowd in their 20s. I would recommend older maybe married couples to go to basbussa. The music was mainly just beats and wasn’t very fun. This is a more chill lounge then it is a fun restaurant. Not much dancing but there is a DJ on Saturday nights. The appetizers were all amazing and the owner was very nice though.

    I went here for my birthday with some friends! The service was great they accommodated us with everything. The pricing wasn’t bad everything was fairly reasonable. We just weren’t happy with any of the food they had, so I would recommend this place maybe just for drinks and hooka vibes. The dj didn’t play any of our requests. I wish they would have it would have been more of an enjoyable time. But it was a new experience.

    Food and ambience was great. The music gets very loud as the evening progresses which was fun but difficult to hold a conversation. Annoyed at the 22% auto service charge when there was no mention of it but that’s not going to make me not return. Staff was friendly and attentive.

    Extremely overpriced. That has to be mentioned! 10 ppl cost $2,500 for dinner and drinks plus $500 for Hookah! It doesn’t cost $300 per person even in Vegas. Food was very delicious and the scene was nice.

    The restaurant was empty on a Friday evening at 7pm. Honestly, I have no idea why other than the fact that the prices are a bit high (but so are all the other restaurants in the area). The food was DELICIOUS and I eat out multiple times per week at both low key and fine dining establishments. The portion sizes are substantial, which I appreciate, but the the combinations are interesting. For example, the beet dish was the perfect combination of crunchy from the thinly sliced beets, tangy from the pomegranate seeds, sweet from the mango chunks, savoury from the nut crumble, and creamy from the cheese. I have been to so many restaurants that get a beet salad so wrong. Either it’s tasteless and boring or the combinations are off. This was spot on. The only dish that could have had a little bit more flavour was the hummus. I appreciated the whole garlic cloves on top, but some garlic and/or pepper incorporated into the actual hummus dip would have been nice too. Atmosphere is very nice. Great music, with a gorgeous bar in the center of the restaurant. Service was also very attentive. And the manager came over to see how everything was going close to the end of the meal. I will definitely be back here.

    They ripped us off on the hookah not giving us a price list and then telling us it’s $100 and we can only pay cash. Super shady way of conducting business we will never come back here again.

    I live right near the restaurant, decided to check it out since i never been. I decided to pay valet for the spot in front of the restaurant and when i got to the entrance, I couldn’t tell who the host was to communicate about my reservation because every staff was busy conversating and walking around doing nothing. I walk in and didn’t get no help. Walked right out and realize who the front door host was. She sat us down. After that No server came to check up to ask for an order within the next 15-20 min and it was clear that they weren’t busy with other tables. Will not be coming back it was a waste of time sitting down and waiting on the staff there. But the place is beautiful and got lots of potential. Just need to train the staff a little better because it can miss out on a lot of customer’s money that’s trying to spend
