    I don’t often write reviews but this was the worst service I can remember at a restaurant. We could not get out of there fast enough. It is a beautiful ambiance but the service is astoundingly bad.

    The hostess was terrific. I don’t recall her name but she was incredibly warm and welcoming to us for our anniversary and gave us the best table in the room. Everyone was welcoming

    The place was great overall, with delicious food and a nice ambiance. However, the service was slow, and it was odd that the staff didn’t know where the restrooms were located. Also, the music is quite loud, if you’re looking for a quieter place to talk, this might not be the best spot.

    The food was overpriced and tasteless. The Pork Chop was dry with a strange aftertaste. The cauliflower was tiny, the Kofta skewers tasted like burned little pieces of a cutlet. The only edible thing was the muscles which were plentiful and tasty. The waiter missed all of our instructions and brought out everything with sauces we asked to avoid. We would never come back.

    We were put in the lobby area even tho we had a reservation for a month in advance. The ambiance is totally different. We were hoping to celebrate a friends birthday in an upscale, lively space and were put in a corner. The main areas is fun and special so was sad to miss it especially bc I requested it. Food was good. Bread was delicious and salmon was perfectly cooked but didn’t have any green vegetables or sides.
