    Overall a disappointing meal. Our beef kabob was dry and tough, the lamb kabob had very little flovor, and the portion sizes were small.

    A lot of room for improvement as far as customer service is concerned. Recommendation to update your hours on Open Table app or at least make a notation that kitchen is closed.

    I was pleasantly surprised at how elegantly the restaurant was decorated. The food was different as the menu is primarily Turkish cuisine.

    I went with a group of ladies from our church. The decor was lovely. The bathrooms were clean as well. I’ve read through some reviews and people have said that the service wasn’t good. They wasn’t our experience. I definitely think it’s a cultural difference. They were friendly but not overly friendly, which isn’t needed. Food and drinks were good. I wouldn’t rush back, but would go again.
