I bought a LivingSocial deal for this place, "$30 for $60 worth of food." When my boyfriend and I went to the restaurant last Saturday we were impressed with the ambiance and the decor. Upon arrival we are told that it was a prix fixe for a 3 course meal. The appetizer, a mezze plate of tzaziki, a dill and cucumber salad and a sweeter dip was delicious. We opted for the sampler main course which consisted of a chicken, lemon and olive dish, an amazing beef, fig, date and prune dish, as well as a root vegetable dish all served on a bed of couscous. The desert was an uninspiring and very small piece of baklava served with a delicious mint tea.
Though my boyfriend and I both enjoyed the food we felt that we had been taken for a bit of a ride in terms of the price. Because there is no menu, there is no way to see the price. I felt that $30/person was steep for the meal and that $20-$25 with a larger desert would have been more fair. Upon reading some of the other more recent reviews I noticed that other people were charged $20 for the same 3 course meal.
I felt that the Living Social deal was a scam as we had paid $30 for supposedly $60 worth of food and then had to pay taxes and tip based on the $60 price tag. We will not return or suggest the place to friends as the lack of transparency in pricing is an issue for us.
