| - Decor of the place is awesome, like modern ali baba's harem, and the lighting is just perfect. The food was pretty good, but for some reason not enough to warrant 5 stars from me. Maybe it was the portions, maybe it was the price, we ordered mixed grill plate, with shangleesh (arabic cheese mixture i used to hate as a kid, but i loved it here!), hummus with meat (very little amount of meat), babaghanoush (not the best ive had), cheese rolls (4 skinny tall rolls, not worth the 12$ price tag), cheese rikakat (miniature hallumi pita sandwitch), and kibbeh nayyeh (what some peeps call beef tartar lol). The pita comes baked fresh which is awesome, only downfall is that we had to keep asking for more since the place was pretty empty the day we came. Maybe when its full, the pita is continuously offered? After our third one, we all got shy and stopped asking!
The mezzas are pretty small for the price (11$ each plate on average) we basically each spent 40$ eating just mezzas and a few pieces of meat from the mixed plate. I guess im spoiled having just came back from dearborn and having a huge grilled feast (with alottta meat!) for under 25$ a person.
Overall, pretty decent. I think its best to come with a huge group and make a night out of it. The private room looks amazing!
Also we expected a bellydancer since it was friday, but she wasnt there :(
