| - I've been here a few times for the night/bar scene and hookahs, but I finally made it out the other night for dinner with 2 friends. I am a huge fan of Mediterranean cuisine so I was pretty excited.. plus Groupon Now! had a $13 for $26 deal.
Once we arrived, to our disappointment, the groupon was not working! This was not the restaurant's fault but that was definitely a huge let-down.
We ordered a handful of appetizers and a couple glasses of wine (half off during happy hour, great deal!) and they were definitely enjoyable; however, I've had phenomenal Mediterranean cuisine in Manhattan; therefore, I wasn't overly impressed. The entrees were disappointing :( Unfortunately, the kebab wraps did not have much meat in them and my friends didn't seem to enjoy them much. I had the plate of rice, salad, and beef (shawarma.. sp?) and the beef was a bit dry; plus, I asked for it as spicy as possible and it came out mild. So we won't be going back for the entrees; however, the appetizers and drinks during happy hour are definitely worth going back for!
Service was fantastic. The waiter seemed busy but still managed to be attentive and provide thorough information on each of the dishes. He was definitely helpful when we couldn't decide what to order.
There was some sort of open mic night going on in the other room that should honestly be scheduled for later hours. Freestyle rap isn't exactly what people want to hear during dinner at a Mediterranean restaurant.
Overall, I would go back during happy hour for various appetizers to share amongst friends :)
