| - I went here for lunch with my coworkers. Other than us, there were two other tables, so we assumed service should be decent.. We were wrong.
Our server was incredibly slow doing everything. We watched one table try to pay, and the poor woman was at the counter for 5 to 10 minutes while the guy tried to figure out the debit machine. Perhaps it was down, so I can't 100% sure blame it on him. However, when we wanted to order, despite us having our menus in a pile he sat behind his bar and just chilled out. It took him another 5-10 minutes to pour 3 waters and 2 iced teas, and throughout our time there he never came around to check how things were, despite having time to sit at a table and smoke shisha. The plus side is he was very nice, and he immediately turned down the music when we asked.
However, when our food came, my friend and I had ordered tabouleh salad with our wraps. They wound up coming out with Greek salad. When my friend said 'This doesn't look like tabouleh' he assured us that our romaine lettuce with tomatoes was actually tabouleh. She had to speak up again to get the salads taken back and replaced with what we ordered. We also had to ask two different people to bring us cutlery.
As for the food itself, all my coworkers enjoyed it, but I didn't. I thought the tabouleh was too lemony - half the bowl it came in was filled with lemon juice. Also, the falafel itself was incredibly crunchy, to the point where it was like chewing on large grains of sand. I perfer mine a bit more smooth. The wrap it came in had obviously been sitting on the grill for too long, because it was like trying to bite through plastic. That being said, other than the chewy wraps my coworkers did like their food, so it is probably just an issue of preference.
I will never go back here, and I would not recommend the restaurant to anyone else. However, it may still have promise as a shisha bar.
