| - I'm divided.
I don't really like the way the place looks. I am the last one to complain that decor is old and outdated, because I like un self-conscious outdatedness. Unfortunately, it looked dirty, and by dirty I mean dusty and unscrubbed. I began to wonder if they kept the kitchen as clean as the dining room.
The wait was interminable, or seemed so because of the creep sitting next to me who wouldn't stop talking about "the aliens". In all actuality, I was probably there for about twenty minutes, having gotten there about 11:15 am. Another note about the dining room is the kitchen obviously has insufficient smoke ventilation. As I waited, my eyes began to sting, and the haze in the room was visible in the sunlight. No dine-in for me.
When looking at the menu, I thought the prices seemed slightly high. Once I got my food, I felt that the prices were fair due to portion size. I got the baba ganoush and grape leaves. The grape leaves were awesome. The baba ganoush was interesting, with a consistency that looked like hummus. Totally creamy, no evidence of seeds. It was dosed with so much liquid smoke that it kind of tastes like barbecue sauce. Good at first, kind of sickening after half of it is gone. I wouldn't get it again.
I need to try this place one more time and see if my experience is comparable. If it is, I doubt I will be back.
