All I can say about this little restaurant is WOW because the food is AMAZING!
The restaurant itself is on the smaller side but we really liked the intimate and cozy feeling you got from inside the restaurant. Although on the small side, the restaurant was done beautifully. With all the flowers, green plants, and lights hanging from the ceiling and the oversized pink throw pillows on the table benches the restaurant gave off this charming and romantic feeling. A perfect place for a romantic date night.
Our party of 4 started the evening with the falafel appetizer, the hummus tahini, and the crunchy cauliflower. I think our favorite of the appetizers was the crunchy cauliflower it was perfectly crispy and tossed in a sauce that was just a little bit sweet and everyone loved it. The hummus tahini was very good as well, but it was a bit disappointing that the hummus arrived with only 2 mini pitas on the side for the 4 of us. I think for the $17 price it should have come with enough pita bread to enjoy the appetizer without having to order 2 laffa's ($8 each) + 2 more orders of pita bread for $5 each ($43 total) which we felt was a bit $$$ for an appetizer.
We ended up ordering the shawarma spiced wagyu steak for $54 with a side of couscous for $8 and the Persian braised beef short rib for $55 with a side if brussels sprouts for $8 and everything we ordered was delicious.
My favorite dish was the braised beef short rib because the meat was tender, fall off the bone, and came with the most delicious pomegranate sauce that went so well with the beef. If you like a kick to your food I highly recommend ordering a side of "harif" to go with your entrees or appetizers to add a bit of spiciness to the plates and was also very good to try,
For dessert we had the lemon oil cake, the baklava, pistachio ice cream, and the sticky date cake. Our family has a sweet tooth, and we could not decide on what dessert to get so we each ordered one to try. Out of the desserts, the pistachio ice cream was everyone's favorite along with the baklava. If you are a fan of lemon oil cake you will really like this one as well, it was one of the best lemon oil cakes we have ever had.
We had the pleasure of having Kfir as our server for the evening, and he truly made it a wonderful dining experience. He was friendly and funny, made great recommendations, and really enjoyed spending time with his tables, chatting, and talking about the different dishes on the menu and where the restaurant came from. He truly made it a wonderful place to celebrate my mom's birthday - the service he provided was fantastic. So big THANK YOU to Kfir for the wondering evening!
Overall - be prepared to spend a pretty penny as the restaurant is a bit on the pricey side. We spent close to $450 for dinner for the 4 of us (not including the tip or parking) but I must say the FOOD IS AMAZING and was worth every single penny. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.
On a final note if you are planning to visit this restaurant, be prepared to get here early as it wasn't easy to find parking anywhere near the restaurant. Even on a Thursday night, it took us 45 mins to finally find parking, and it was about a 10-minute walk away from the restaurant. If you prefer not to walk or spend time searching for street parking, the restaurant offers valet parking for $25 -which is not expensive for Miami standards but was more than we wanted to pay to park the car in addition to the cost of dinner. Just wanted to mention it so you can plan to get there a bit early depending on your parking preference. read more
