Loved the food and there were many vegetarian and vegan options, even entrees. Many of the entree options were pretty unique so definitely looking forward to coming back. The fava bran appetizer was unique as well served warm nicely flavored with garlic. Prices were also very affordable compared to most Mediterranean restaurants.
The restaurant is located in the basement and had a nice setting making us feel like we were in Lebanon!
Excellent food and service. The olive oil is distinct and flavourful. The tabbouleh is fresh. The Shish Barak was light, tasty, and refreshing. The servers are attentive and pleasant. The atmosphere is peaceful. This is a restaurant done right. I will be coming back.
I had a lovely experience here as a solo diner. The sumki hara fish impressed me so much, I havenโt had flavors like that in a while! The grape leaf stuffed rice and lamb was yummy too but a bit sour for my palate (Iโm sure thatโs how itโs suppose to be Iโm just not used to it). I didnโt mind it was in the basement because if youโre enjoying good food with loved ones it doesnโt matter. You can tell itโs a family run business and Iโll continue to support as I can and order the fish!
This place is amazing! It could be easy to miss but I really hope you donโt. It is located downstairs of Swallow cafe. We reached here by accident after being turned away from another restaurant, but in retrospect it turned out to be such a memorable sunday night family dinner.
Food: If you like fish, definitely order the Sumki Hara. I donโt think I have tasted anything similar ever. The lamb and chicken in the mixed grill were spectacular as well. The chicken curry was mild and heartwarming. All of the dishes came with rice which was coated with either ghee or butter and also had vermicelli which was different and so delicious. Amazing staff! We will be back!
Nice low key neighborhood joint. The table next to us got the mezze sampler and I might do that next time. Everything was good, might be my palate but I had to add salt to the dishes. Friendly service.
