Food was definitely flavorful and lived up to what I was expecting, the atmosphere itself was a bit lacking. It was a group of five of us who ventured in here - we were the only ones in the restaurant the entire time and they had an obscure Don Cheadle movie playing in the background. Made for an interesting experience.
Our server was great, [AND VERY PATIENT] since we (mostly me) were asking questions and asking for recommendations. I was feeling very adventurous that night so I ordered the Honey Wine (looked interesting on the drink menu). Later I pulled up some yelp reviews while waiting for the food to come out and the Honey Wine was one of the "must tries".
SAMBUSA appetizers were delicious. A bit hard to share, but we got over our shyness and started ripping them up with hands. Definitely a different experience using hands instead of the normal fork and knife.
The food came out on huge plates..... our table wasn't quite big enough for all the plates, but our server got creative and brought over a tv dinner table to place things on the side. I had the #4 which was beef (spicy) and a couple of sides that I just ate up.
By the end of the meal, I was thoroughly stuffed to capacity. Everything was great and the warm burning in my mouth from the spice was a nice change from normal food. I plan on trying their chicken and vegetarian dishes next!
