    Food was not great. Chicken Shwarma was just unseasoned grilled chicken breast with a side of plain hummus, a handful of olives, a bit of pickled cabbage, and a lot of fried pita. Odd, since I asked for no pita since I am gluten free. No one in our group seemed to be happy with their food. Menu online looks much more appetizing and playful. Execution was disappointing. Restaurant is in open space conjoined with hotel lobby, so no separation wall/door between the two. All seated tables were next to each other so acoustics were challenging until other tables left. Then it was quiet. At least no loud music blaring. Best thing going for this place is that it has convenient parking and it is close to the airport.

    It’s in the Rose Hotel, so like many other hotel restaurants, the food was average, and pricey. In retrospect, if we had known that prior to reservations, we would have passed.

    It’s a small restaurant in a chain hotel. I think that sums up what you need to know. Nothing inventive or particularly great. Not destination dining if you are not staying at the hotel. But if you stay at the hotel, you will probably end up eating here because there are very few options nearby that you can walk to, especially for breakfast or linch. That said, service was friendly and attentive, and the place was clean and not mobbed.

    Unfortunately I should have ordered something other than the GF poke bowl. Texture wise it was lacking
