Was looking for a fairly informal and laid back Middle Eastern place in Mile End and couldn't find one with suitable reviews, so we chose this, knowing the prices were a nip higher than what we wanted.
We biked down and were offered a table fairly quickly, despite it being a busy Friday night and busy place. All of the waitstaff we pleasant, friendly, and respectful, managing multiple tables and our orders with a good pace.
The thing that blew my mind here was the food and two items in particular: the Baba Ganoush and the Pistachio Kibbe. Holy cow! These palate and mind-melting items when combined together on a piece of pita and chased with Arak took flavor to a new level. I've had a fair amount of very authentic Middle Eastern food on the east coast and in the U.A.E. and this is right up there with the best. The only food item that didn't wow was the muhammara, it was okay, but dry and a little flavorless.
This is a hurry on back to place, in my opinion.
