| - A friend and I dined here this past Tuesday. We were there for a "Moon" celebration, but wished to try the food out while we where there. The décor is eclectic, but gives you a bit of a homey feeling. I tried three different appetizers. One was the fried cauliflower which was fantastic! I also tried the falafel , which was good and came with a dipping sauce that to me had a small bite to it, although my friend said she did not notice that. I also had the ground meat in Filo, which were delightful little pastries. The Fenugreek tea was awesome, and they made sure we didn't run out. My friend had a chicken dish which I sampled. This was delightful, and the plate made a beautiful presentation, what with the very green fresh broccoli, red peppers, and the seared chicken. It tasted pretty darn good too! If your adventurous, definitely try this place out, but don't go there expecting to see American Items on the menu. This is strictly a place for a very different type of cuisine in the Burgh! One I was very happy to try out, and was very happy I did. The service is a little spotty, but there was a large party in the other room, and then a party of four came into the dining room where we were. I commend these folks for their brave and adventurous undertaking. Brookline needs good places to go to , and this is definitely one of them. I will go back . I must mention also the music. I loved it. It was not too loud as in some places, but was very soothing. I did ask if they had a cd or where the music came from, and the very polite young man told me it was coming from his phone. I would have bought a cd of the music were it available. All in all a very enjoyable night out, that didn't cost an arm and a leg. I almost forgot, if you are a vegetarian they have many dishes which would suit you just fine!
