a week agoI don’t usually write reviews, but this place completely ruined what was meant to be a nice reunion with friends in Lebanon. The service was shockingly unprofessional. Our waiter spilled our own bottle of red wine all over me, the table, my coat, my friend’s jeans, and the couch. What made it worse he had zero remorse. No apology. No concern. Just a very nonchalant attitude as if nothing happened. They didn’t offer to replace or compensate for the bottle and no one even checked if we were okay. I had to ask for tissues myself. We were honestly stunned by the lack of basic courtesy. The whole experience felt off from the start orders were taken carelessly, items were missed and the overall vibe was uncomfortable and negative. Definitely not worth the money. My friends and I won’t be coming back.

2 weeks agoIt was good but service is terrible, how dare you tell me what I can eat and what not, if I eat a whole cauliflower I will eat the whole cauliflower I'm paying for that, if I don't finish it's my problem not yours. Wine selection is meh... But food has a nice zing. One good thing to add is that is not smoking, thanks for this.

2 weeks agoOne of the worst places i’ve been to this year 1-the mushroom humus, too much spices and they simply dont blend 2- the octopus was blend and overpriced 3- the brisket bao are a failure compared to the price. Also all the dishes had coriander ? Why? Overall the food 0/10

3 weeks agoLoved the food and the service. The wild zaatar cocktail is AMAZING. The zucchini and the dates are a must try! Will definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu.

More like a falafel bao Also all the dishes had coriander ? Why? Overall the food -1/10
