    Place and service was good but I was expecting more from the lunch menu options. I recently visited a nearby restaurant with the same type of cuisine and they had way more filling options at similar prices. I might give it a try at dinner but not again for lunch.

    Food was delicious, the manager, Salem, was very helpful and attentive (I was extremely cold and he turned the AC down, moved our table, and followed up to ensure I was feeling comfortable), and our waiter was incredible—on top of everything and had amazing recommendations based on our preferences and dietary restrictions (I’m vegan). Love this restaurant! Great food, great staff, great vibes!
