    Our meal contained fantastic bursts of flavor- the hummous, tahini, schug, green stuff we did not know the name of-- and the breads were extraordinary. But be warned- we sat in the Garden area, which as lovely, full of patrons, and exceedingly noisy.

    Wonderful, neighborhood gem. Have been enjoying the small plates for years, and recently tried a few of the large plates. Wonderful spices, flavors and aromas. And the taboon bread is out of this world.

    came here for Mother’s Day and Ben the waiter couldn’t have been better. He really made my mom feel special. I love the food here. Order the bread with dips as an appetizer. I also think its better to order for the table and share everything.

    The food was terrific. So happy that although the kitchen is not kosher, they use Glatt kosher meat and have removed foods like octopus from the menu. The staff is responsive and friendly. A terrific place to eat.
