| - I came here for a graduation dinner with some family and friends. We were looking for a place to go last minute and this one was able to accommodate us on short notice (we had called a couple other places first), given that there was a marathon, graduation, and a festival all going on in Cleveland the same weekend. That was nice.
This place serves amazing baba gannoush. A friend took me here years ago, where I first tried it, and since then, I've compared all others to this one. It has an intense, smoky but light flavor to it and it's paired with baskets of warm pita bread. It's definitely my favorite thing to get here.
We all got some combination of kabobs with rice. I got lamb and filet mignon--super tender, juicy and cooked just right. I gobbled mine up in a totally lady-like fashion, finishing first at the table. No one really had complaints about their food. My mom just casually mentioned that hers was a little dry and the waiter immediately brought some yogurt sauce, which improved it for her.
The decor's really nice with lots of windows, and luckily it was a nice weekend so it felt really bright. The service was a little on the slower side and the restaurant was maybe 80% full the day. There's a small parking lot in the back, enough for maybe 10 cars, so you may have to deal with street parking.
