"I finally made it to this place. This is after two failed attempts to dine here (location doesn't help as getting here during peak hours is a chore, come to think of it can anyone explain is there a non peak hour left on DVP!)\nReservation was easy and done via open table though the place wasn't very busy for a Friday night. First the space, I found it very nice. Nice intricate setup to go with the theme of the museum. The space is huge with high high ceiling, lots of installations that represent the region along with the cutlery to go with the ambiance as well. Only comment I would make is about the dinning tables they just don't seem right for this kind of setup. Maybe white table cloth for the evening session. Ah well what do I know about interior design.\nI had checked out the menu online several times already so kind of knew what they had to offer. \nHere is what we went with\nMezze platter, Turkish pastry platter and Kebab Platter (wait a sec that's a lot of platters:) \nI ordered a glass of Cabernet which was decent.\nFor starters they brought out a variety of breads along with couple of dips, good olive oil. Good start here as the bread variety was decent. \nMezze and pastry platter were brought in together. \nMezze platter was good. Various pickled vegetables. I liked the zucchini mezze. quail eggs (meh) satay chicken (completely out of place IMO) and bastrama beef (excellent as they didn't hold back on the spices here)\nMixed turkish pastries in filo dough. This was a weak offering. The fellow diner commented more like frozen version bought from the store level as nothing stood out here. \nKebab platter. This was decent with the spicy lamb being the stand out. Chicken was OK. The Sturgeon and normal lamb were over cooked IMO. The rice one side was OK. The standout was the side of Shirazi salad. The falafel crisps were just right. Not the crisp on the out and soggy in the middle kind, makes me wonder why others don't do falafel at the this size.\nService was very good though I think they still have a bit of learning curve ahead of them. \nOverall for the price point they are hitting for dinner I would say this place is 3 stars. I might revisit this place for lunch/brunch if I am in the area or visiting this museum."^^ . "1"^^ . "2014-12-20T00:00:00"^^ . "3"^^ . "2"^^ . . "1"^^ . . .
