The ambiance is casual, the service is friendly, and the food is EXCELLENT--a perfect combination. We had the spinach salad (divine), the beet salad (great), and the eggplant appetizer with grilled pita bread (yum!). We ate so much we could barely stumble our way onto the main courses. All were clearly made fresh and with care and attention. The aromas, spices, and cooking is all done to perfection. This is truly a wonderful, hidden place!!!
