It was just okay- a small scattering of roasted vegetables and rice pilaf. The rice wasn't aromatic and the vegetables didn't have much flavor. Aside from the chicken and beef kebabs, no one at the table really enjoyed their meal. Hummus and fluffy pita were great but it's hard to mess up dips. Service was completely overwhelmed for a weekend dinner. There were too many tables and one of the waiters elbowed my friend's head while serving another table. I think it's on management for not having enough staff as the servers themselves were kind and attentive when they had the time to check on us. Upon paying, they charged us an extra $10 for the bottle of wine we ordered. It was $70 on the menu and $80 on the tab. It was my friend's birthday so no one wanted to make a fuss but the vibes were off afterwards. Wouldn't come back.

The rice was probably the worst quality rice I've had at a Persian restaurant. The lamb was chewy and rubbery and lacked seasoning/flavor. The shirazi salad was really the only thing that tastes fresh and had good flavor. The bread was solid, too. Our service was basic, not what I would have expected at a higher end restaurant in NYC. Took forever to get our water and drink orders. Our apps took about 40 minutes to come out and our food followed about 30 seconds after. Hopefully it was just an off night for them.

A special thank you to Moosa and Joel, the restaurant managers, for their generosity and outstanding hospitality. They truly made our experience even more memorable. We will definitely be back on our next trip!

Once seated for dinner, we had: - Charred eggplant - Hummus cauliflower salad - Kofta (ground lamb & beef kebab) - Fried kubeh - Butternut squash & whipped feta They also gave us an amuse-bouche to start, a nice touch. It was plenty of food for three people and we enjoyed all the dishes. The total, including tax and tip was $203.

There were other Greek style restaurants nearby but felt this place may just be a tad better than the rest. We were quickly sat down and the interior of the restaurant was very clean looking, pleasant, and bright. They started off with free warm bread and two types of dipping sauce (tzatziki and some type of cilantro sauce). Both were bangers and the bread was soooo warm. My wife ordered the Khoresh Bademjan $26 which was chunks of boneless baby lamb stew with eggplants and tomato. It was not spicy which was to my wife's liking and the food was soooo tender and scrupulous. I ordered the dark meat chicken kabob platter which came with saffron and whole pieces of tomatoes/onions grilled. The chicken was amazingly soft and love the large chunks so you can really taste it. The saffron rice they give for each portion was very plentiful and definite leftovers for sure. Both dishes far exceeded our expectations and we will definitely return. FYI - there are other locations of this place as well.

Such a lively and popular Mediterranean spot that my friend recommended. Luckily we had…read morereservations, we I overheard walk-in wait times were over an hour on a Sunday evening. We got an outdoor patio table and I found it quite inconvenient for me to place my purse on the floor since the seats could not hang anything. The dips are where it's at here, so we got the Labneh ($13) and Smoked Artic Char ($14). Of course we had to get some bread to accompany the dips and got the Frena ($13) and Pita ($7). I really wish it came with more bread because this wasn't enough and it's quite pricey for the portion. The frena is definitely one of the best breads, which comes with whole garlic pieces on focaccia-like bread. The pita did get quite hard after awhile, so you need to eat this one fresh. We enjoyed both dips, but the labneh is a must in my book. We also got the Grilled Wings ($21) and Scallops à la Plancha ($30), which were both nicely grilled. The wings were full of spicies and come plentiful, but scallops are a smaller portion. We were pretty stuffed with all the food, but had to end it with the Tahini Softserve ($15). This is a popular item here as almost every table had it. It's creamy with nutty, tart, and sweet flavors. It's also quite the presentation with such a tall swirl topped with halva floss. It's a delicious spot with a fun atmosphere, but on the pricey side. The labneh and soft serve are a must here.

The vibe is super upscale and they have gorgeous interior decor. That being said, service is quite slow at 8am in the morning. The shakshuka and eggs mesemen are nothing to write home about. both seem like something you could make at home and both were quite ordinary flavor wise. the former came with pita bread, which was delicious, but only 2 eggs. the latter was honestly pretty bad and just tasted like watery tomatoes. no eggs nor any spice to be had. the french toast on the other hand was crispy on the sides and super custardy in the middle. it came with cream, strawberry compote, and syrup. while definitely not the most inventive french toast, the texture was absolutely fantastic.

From the moment you walk through the door, you feel as though you've stepped back in time into a wonderful, family-owned restaurant where hospitality still means something.

The food is incredibly authentic, full of flavor, and clearly prepared with tradition and care. There's something so special about discovering a place that has been here for years, quietly serving amazing food without losing its charm or character. A true hidden gem and one of those wonderful New York restaurants you want to tell everyone about. I highly recommend it and will absolutely be back!

The staff was extremely warm, kind and welcoming and a special shoutout to Irem who was amazing, gave us some great recommendations and took care of us throughout. I went for the $39 prix fixe brunch which is honestly such a great deal and comes with quite a spread. I had the muhammara, hummus, shakshuka and dessert and thoroughly enjoyed my coffee too. We also ordered the tuna Niçoise salad, which is by far the best I have had ever. One of my friends was accidentally served the wrong order and they immediately replaced it with the right one and made her meal completely complimentary, which was such a nice gesture and something we really appreciated. We also loved that nobody was rushing us and we could just sit, chat and enjoy our brunch. Great food, beautiful ambiance, wonderful hospitality and even the restrooms were spotless and very well maintained. Overall such a positive experience and easily a 5/5 for me.

There were 7 of us The seating was cozy but not cramped. We started with 7 family style small dishes: Hummus with Falafel Pops (chickpea purée, tahini, falafel, olive oil), Spring Burrata (roasted cherry tomatoes, toast, basil oil), Hamachi Crudo (passionfruit vinaigrette, citrus zest, cucumber, mint, sesame tuile), Scallops (carrot puree, serrano pepper, brown butter sauce), Tenderloin Skewer (zaatar chimichurri, fresh herb salad), and Shiitake Stuffed Grape Leaves (tomato coulis, yogurt foam, herbs). Everything was delicious. The hummus was well seasoned the falafel had a nice crunch. It went well with the warm puffy gyro bread that came to the table. The burrata was wasm and creamy. I love the vinaigrette on the fish. I ended up eating most of it. The scallops were the sweetest, most tender ones I have ever had. The tenderloin skewers were tender and well seasoned. I liked the grape leaves but the rice consistency was very soft almost mushy and you can barely tell there were mushrooms. There was barely any mushrooms flavor. Next we all chose an entree. I got the duck breast, my husband and daughter each had the beef tenderloin. The duck breast was smaller than i expected. The skin was nicely seared and very crispy but boy did it give my jaw a workout. It was done medium rare. It was juicy but tough. The small beef tenderloin was tender and smoky. The waiter poured the sauce over the tenderloin for added flavor. Finally dessert was a fruit plate with ice cream and pudding. The fruit was fresh and the flavors of the ice cream and pudding unique. It was a nice end to a good brunch. The price was a little expensive at $85 a person.
