This place has been on my hit list for a couples years now. My partner and I went at close to midnight (Sunday night) after the Nas and Lauren Hill concert and it was still packed even though it was technically a Monday now. Thankfully the kitchen was open.
We had to wait 5-10 mins to be seated. Expect to sit closely next to others on a table of 6 unless you're okay with the bar seats. They really just have a couple tables for two people.
The ambiance is nice. Great hip hop music with candles on the table. The service was excellent! We got wet clothes to clean our hands with.
Many of the items on the menu were sold out for the night. And there are only a limited number of vegetarian options on this menus.
I kept hearing about the Korean Chicken. Although I didn't try it (partner did) I tried the sauce which wasn't great at all - what's everyone raving about ? My partner said it wasn't great.... I believe him.
* falafel double down: was tasty and had a hot spicy kick but not enough spice.
* the eggplant sangwich double down was hot (temperature wise), the bun was delicious with filling and the inside was meh.
Recommendation: maybe they can have the eggplant sangwich double down bun with the falafel double down inside-ingredients. That might bring the emerged product back to life.
Bathrooms were out of toilet paper and the ceiling had a crack in it.
Confused about the guy standing outside the restaurant who was opening and closing doors for people
- wondering what his purpose is?
