| - It wasn't a bad experience, but I would not return.
The food was great! My problem was with the unclear way they sell it - the set up of wrong expectations led to an overall unpleasant experience.
We had ordered - 4 skewers that our waiter suggested, the taadig appetizer, 2 vegeterian appetizers (olives, and a yogurt blend - both terrific!), 2 glasses of house wine and a beer. That was $160, for 3 people, for a large lunch.
For the 4 "skewers"/kebobs, it actually was charged as 3 full dinner sized meals, which the waiter didn't make clear. If we knew that it actually was charged as 3 meals, we wouldn't have ordered as much. One of the 4 "skewers" was a rack of lamb, which was $28, which may be fair for a rack of lamb - but highly unexpected when you're thinking you're ordering kebabs. It was unfortunate that such a huge amount of food was suggested for lunch as well.
While the food was delicious - fresh, great, large portions (as they should be for the price...), clearly prepared with knowledge and ability - I am still unlikely to return because of how I felt after due to my incorrect expectations of meal size/price.
My recommendation is if you go, do not take suggestions from the waiter but order specifically off the menu as to have a clear understanding - and expectation - of what you're getting.
It was not too loud, it was not too busy, and the house wine was A-OK.
