| - We decided to give this place a try on a whim (if it weren't for the Yelp app, we wouldn't have known it existed in our own city).
We were greeted by our waitress, who was extremely welcoming and nice. We were surprised that there was no alcohol, so we ordered the hot fresh mint tea, which is sweetened with organic sugar. It arrived in a pretty silver pot, accompanied by two small silver and glass cups. This is very good and is worth the $5.00 price.
We both ordered the Thursday special, roast lamb, which is served with a substantial side salad, baked-in-house whole grain bread, fragrant basmati rice, and grilled vegetables. There was also a spicy sauce on the plate, so be aware of you don't like spicy sauces, ask them to leave it off. My husband loved it and took mine.
The lamb was delicious, but it was not very tender and we had difficulties cutting it, but I think it was just luck and not the chef. It was so good tasting, but there was a lot of gristle.
The rice was amazing; I could eat it every day. If you're vegetarian, you will love the rice, grilled vegetables and warm bread by itself.
The restaurant has plenty of seating, and it is decorated by the owner/chef Mo and his wife (who handmade cushions and seats that are for use in the place, and they are very pretty).
The chef himself came out to the dining room to personally see if we liked the food.
This place has a small menu, but it's fresh and the staff is wonderful and put you at ease. We will be back to try the rest of the menu!
