| - I walked in on a Sunday night with a family member when there was practically no one. We were seated to a table within a timely manner. As I was skimming the menu, there was a middle-aged cook staring me down almost as if I had committed something immoral. It made me feel extremely uncomfortable. To get my mind off this man, I took a look around the restaurant, only to realize that the decor was absolutely dreadful. Boxes from their dance nights were piled up on the side and forgotten about. In addition, the paint on the walls didn't match the environment they were trying to evoke.
Nonetheless, after the two of us looked over the menu, we decided to go with bowl of hummus and their mixed grill for two. As we were waiting for the hummus, we received naan bread and some sort of dipping sauce with sesame seed and olive oil. The sauce was loaded with so much seasoning that I thought I was going to go into some sort of cardiac arrest. I waited for the hummus to dip my bread in, only for the hummus to taste as if it was store-bought. Shortly after, the mixed grill arrived, and it contained overcooked meat that had low-quality vinaigrette spread all over it.
If it weren't for my Groupon for $21 off, this meal would have totaled to over $70 (including the tip). If you want to feed yourself and one other person, I can think of a long list of restaurants that will serve you a better quality meal for half of this price. I was really let down from going to Mijana. Hopefully they turn something around soon, because their shirts that say "Rated #1 by Phoenix New Times" are completely redundant.
