| - Decided to try this place today for something new after our Queens Feast plans fell through. I saw their ad on Instagram earlier this month and was intrigued. We arrived around 3pm and the place was empty. The waiter said we could have our pick of tables, so I chose a cute round table in the corner, but was told we couldn't sit at it because it was for 5 people (we were a party of 2) but we could pick any table for 2 or 4 people. So I chose a window-side table for 2; after all, I wouldn't want to take up too much space in a completely empty restaurant.
Moving on.... the decor was fresh and inviting. The place looked immaculately clean. The waiter was friendly and helpful in explaining the menu. They offer food I haven't eaten before, so I was excited. Based on other Yelp reviews, I immediately ordered the Pomegranate wine. It's amazing! If you go, you have to try it! In fact, you should go just to try the wine.
Now on to the food... We ordered Dolma ($6.95) for our appetizer, which was stuffed grape leaves. It was a good choice and I enjoyed it. However, the food beyond this was average - not what I would have expected for the price point. I tried the Chicken Shawarma ($14.95). It was ok. Didn't love it, but didn't hate it. The price point was ok with the 3 sides. My hubby splurged on the Seafood Combination Kabob ($29.95). He thought it would be great to try Sturgeon, a fish he had never had before , but it was a bit of a disappointment. All of the seafood on his plate was over-cooked and rubbery. And salty. Definitely too much salt on the Salmon. We skipped dessert.
We won't be going back, unless we go to pick up a bottle of Pomegranate wine. They do sell wine by the bottle.... That wine made the whole trip worthwhile.
