    BBQ chicken  shwarma
    James S.

    Great service and food. We frequent this place at least once a month. Especially when the wife has a craving for chicken shwarma salad. You will always get friend service when you go here. I normally go for the lobster ravioli but this time they had a special for BBQ chicken schwarma with rice, humus and a choice if feta salad or what I chose was the fatoush salad. This dish was really good. A must try.

    Tonight's special flounder.

    Have been in Denham for years and I don't know why this was the first time dining here. Food was amazing. Service was incredible. Quick. Even though it was a Monday night the atmosphere was friendly. Looking forward to many more meals here.

    Appetizer sampler
    P Q.

    Sigh. Where to start? I'll start with the words plain and bland. That summarized pretty much everything except for three components of the appetizer sampler: the eggplant, the Grecian Eggroll and the Spinach Pie. Everything else including the Phoenician Sampler entree I had was eminently and wholly forgettable. Maybe the stuffed grape leaves. But even the side salad was basically water and oil and a lot of white stems. A simple touch of a vinegar could have made it a passable salad, but alas, nothing. The chicken schwarma was dry and lifeless -- really the only taste was the occasional piece of roasted crust. The fried Kibbi did, though, have a distinct Levantine flavor spicing, something I was hoping to enjoy in other parts of the bland sampler. Ambiance was nice; service was prompt and polite. Quantity was good for a dinner plate; pricing was Ok but given today's run up in prices, still puts the old restaurant dinners from five years ago a distant memory. Overall, nothing to really draw me back. Maybe when I forget this episode in six months and I want a taste of the Levant, I'll try again.

    We were very pleasantly surprised to find this restaurant on our way from Houston to N Carolina The spinach pies were great. The food was good and abundant. Service was really good. The very best was the awesome Turkish coffee I highly recommend this restaurant The ambiance was pleasant

I started off with that melt in your mouth Caesar carpaccio (raw ribeye but make it fancy) and those crispy crab arancini with the rich smoked tomato hollandaise; straight flavor bombs. For the main, the squid ink spaghetti with shrimp + jalapeño pesto was DIFFERENT in the best way! And that veal milanese over red wine risotto? Crispy, tender, and packed with flavor every bite. Dessert sealed the deal! King Cake panna cotta with orange curd was smooth, creamy, and perfect for Mardi Gras season. Plus that mascarpone cheesecake was light, rich, and straight dangerous. $62 for this whole experience during Restaurant Week is a STEAL!

They moved into a new location at Jones Creek. The new restaurant is beautiful on the bar side. The other side is a HUGE dining room for large groups and families with children. There is plants of parking but it's still a crowded parking lot.We have tried to go 4 times. We succeeded once on a Thursday at 5:30. The food was excellent. I had a personal vegetarian pizza and hubs had eggplant parm. Prices are very reasonable. I love their food and waitstaff is excellent- the 20 and 30 minute wait times not so much. Even the bar was SRO. It is a testament to their quality that it takes an act of DOG to get seated quickly. (I'm usually hangry when I get off work.I want to getting fed in 20 or 30 minutes, not just be seated and they don't take reservations. That being said, if you don't mind the wait, the food is always fresh, made to order. The quality is consistent and they are now even open limited hours on Sunday which is a nice brunch alternative.

Our server was absolutely horrible last night. We will not be coming back due to how badly the service was handled. Out server on our ticket was JaNet A. I am giving the 2 stars instead of the one solely because i do love my food. if you sit on the left hand side of the restaurant the noise carries and it can get really loud. The place was not packed to set the tone. When we ordered our drinks my dad asked if she had grapefruit juice-depending on the answer was going to depend on what he was going to order. She took a while to come back for an answer- When she delivers my daughters food- she then confirms there is not grapefruit juice. We order eggrolls - She does not deliver them to us. - another server did. There is a hole in the wall when you sit on the left hand side that connects to the bar to what I assume the servers can order drinks. We can see her talking and talking. Mind you it has been 40 minutes since our SALAD had been ordered. We asked another server to go get her. The other server tells our server "hey your table is asking for you" and she raises her finger to the sever telling her "one more minute." Mind you she is not serving the people she is socializing with. We order our salad which is supposed to come before our entree especially since he got a pasta entree. When she comes we state we have been waiting 40 minutes for a salad and her response was "Well I did put your food order in" She then goes to the back and pops out with both the salad and the pasta. My dad states the salad is supposed to come before my meal?? what is happening to which she states that she can just bring the pasta in the back until he's done with the salad or he can just not eat at all. LIKE WHAT??? A manager had to take it off the ticket which is more disappointing that he did not take it upon himself to say I'm sorry or anything. THEN my sandwich and salad comes which makes me wonder why is my sandwich taking longer than a pasta dish. Unfortunately I did not trust for her to take my food in the back to box it herself since there was so much tension so I asked for a box. We got there at 6:30 and stayed until 8:30 to only get one drink - one app and one sandwich with salad. & my daughter got buttered noodles

The service this time was not good. Not good at all. After being seated, getting bread and drinks, our waiter disappeared. After half-an-hour, we asked someone else if they could find her. She came and apologized that she had forgotten about us. We ordered and waited another half-an-hour for one dish. My wife and I shared a plate of chicken primavera, and it took them a half-hour to prepare it. I am a fan of the slow pace of European restaurants, and we did enjoy a nice visit while waiting. And I got to see most of the second half of the Music City Bowl, and watch Tennessee make a solid run at a come-from-behind win (they almost did it, too). But if you want faster service, maybe check on your waiter sooner. And I will say it again - that vodka sauce is worth coming back for, and worth keeping the original four stars I gave them on the premise that our service was a fluke. Oh, and the complimentary piece of cheesecake was nice, too - rich and creamy.

Also, even though the server was efficient, we did not get that warm and friendly vibe we are used to.
