Great Place... Reviewed by GaryGM on

I think this place is great. Food is terrific. I have been there several times & even had my engagement party there! The Chicken & Lamb Kabobs are great. Salmon is very good as well. As others have noted the appetizers are very very good. The middle eastern Beer & international Wine selection is a great fit for the food & this place is NOT expensive, especially with free parking in the back. I don't understand anyone who says this place is expensive; maybe next to the average greasy kebab house.
The drawbacks are when they are busy; New Years Eve, a popular music act, my engagement party. The quality of service definitely goes down. Please note: Everyone of my guests enjoyed themselves.
As for 'bad tasting food' I think commentators are talking about the Kofta. Their recipe is unique, and one night I saw a couple return it for that reason, but I like the Kofta! I think there is a lot of parsley which can be over powering.
If you enjoy Arabic & Turkish food then you must go. Its been around for decades for a very good reason!
Pros: Food & Wine
Cons: Service to some extent
Premium quality rudeness Reviewed by annette p on

A local music ensemble that I adore, called Dünya, was playing here. I made a reservation a few weeks in advance and then when I showed up, I was left there standing for about 5 minutes. The maître d'hôtel came and said they had no record of our reservation, he said pointing to a ruled sheet of paper covered with scrawls. I can see they have a sophisticated record-keeping system. They made me stand there like a schmuck pleading for a table. Eventually, I just had to leave, it was so rude.
The funny thing is, we had had the exact same problem last year when Dünya played there. They haven't got their act together after a full year.
The food here is OK, but way overpriced. As you can see from my other reviews on Yelp, which are mostly 5 stars, I am a very tolerant person. However, to be called a liar, effectively, in front of the other people who were waiting to be seated is unacceptable.
Pros: I'm drawing a blank.
Cons: rude maître d'
