What Our Regulars Say
Lovely Mediterranean restaurant with a cozy vibe! The Greek Lamb chops were grilled perfectly, and well paired with an Israeli Goldstar Dark Lager. Sean and Chris were excellent hosts!
Erich. S
My husband and I went on a date and ran into this cute little cozy spot that made us feel right at home! The staff was very nice and friendly. The drinks are great, but the food was amazing! We had the chicken hummus with pita bread, the Yemen duck tacos and the Shwarma cigars and the food was so tasty. There were no left overs. I am saving this place for the next time I need a Mediterranean fix 😊
Ashley. M
Each dish was perfection ✨ the ceviche and tomato hummus were the perfect start. The steak was unbelievable. The lamb ragú was also bursting with flavor. I would go here just for the fresh pita.
