I will say that the atmosphere was…read morebreathtakingly gorgeous with its beautiful Turkish mosaic lamps and little sun flowers hanging from the ceiling. Absolutely fantastic service. The gentleman at the front who I assumed was the owner was an absolute sweet heart and was very friendly with us picking out our seat. Loved the food too. We had humus for an appetizer. My mom had shrimp kabab, I had beef kabab and dad had the veggie kabab. Everything was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Even desert was good. My mom loved her baklava and I had pudding cake. Thank you so much for making my mom's Mother's Day special!

We entered for great food and a break from the chilly outdoors and got one of the two…read more I'll skip to the service and the food. The hostess was good, she wanted to seat us in an enclosed section, saying it was warmer. The waitress returned to our table often and met all of our needs. The food was yummy and fresh. I enjoyed bringing some home to eat the next day. This restaurant should have 3 dollar signs because 95% of the entrees are over $30. One star is lost for atmosphere. No matter how nice the decor was, needing my coat and scarf to eat indoors was ridiculous. You see the reason we weren't seated in the warmer section (the hostess's words) was because the owner told her to seat us elsewhere. We learned that he was the owner when our waitress gave us rice pudding from Rudy. We didn't complain and that pudding almost earned the star back. UNTIL my husband stopped at a room heater that was positioned away from our table. Ugh

Incredible restaurant. We've been hearing great things about Cazbar for years and finally decided…read moreto go. Was a great decision!! Really interesting menu. We learned quite a bit about Turkish dining, as typically uninformed Americans. The food was great, with nice big portions. The waitstaff is wonderful. Answered all of our questions (we had many). Patient. Observant. Couldn't have been better. We went on a weeknight and it was surprisingly empty. Our waiter said it's usually much busier. And especially so on weekends, mostly due to the belly dancers (Fridays and Saturdays I believe). We'll definitely be returning. Really great restaurant.

This Turkish restaurant is located in a little strip mall. It looks tiny from the outside but it is…read morehuge. The bars are pretty. The decorations are awesome. It is worth walking around the restaurant to view all the pretty decorations. The menus are media pads that don't get wiped off (gross). I don't understand how a restaurant that has technology (and a robot busser) can't sort out separate checks. Groups of six or more are charged a 20% service charge. Large groups are charged a $25 fee for using a credit card. My suggestion is stop handing out the pretty bags for leftovers and get rid of the credit card fee. We have a group of eight that meets once a month. We won't be back as a group. It might be fun to return sometime with less people and watch belly dancing. The menu is extensive (a bit confusing on the media pad) and has vegan and vegetarian options. The portions are decent. The items are flavorful and most are pricey. Guests who split a dish with someone are charged $15 for not ordering an entree. The watermelon margarita was pretty. I appreciated pitchers of water at the table. The cold hummus trio was tiny and tasty. The red lentil soup was nicely seasoned and barely warm. The sweet potatoes were nicely presented, flavorful and not filling. The red sauce wasn't too spicy but ketchup tasted better. The lamb moussak eggplant dish was large. The Doneri Iskender lamb dish was $10 more with bread and sauce. The vegetable kebab had zucchini & squash. My friend didn't want the rice & bread so she substituted a salad. $40 for a skewer & small salad seemed excessive. The salad with chicken was large. Everyone enjoyed the lamb. The desserts were large enough to share. The noodle breaded dessert was interesting. I enjoyed seeing the dishes. The Chocolate cake was yummy. The baklava was sweet and good. They only had the green flavor. The server was mostly locked into our needs. The manager gave everyone a pretty to go bag. You can see the menu on your phone & can avoid the over used media pad.

I had the lobster ravioli and when I say it was amazing... I mean every bite. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the lobster was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich without being heavy.

And don't even get me started on dessert The presentation was so cute with the "Happy Birthday" chocolate and candle--super thoughtful and beautifully plated. Everything looked just as good as it tasted. From the appetizers to the main course to dessert, the food was top tier. If you're looking for elevated Greek cuisine with a luxe feel, Xenia is definitely a must-visit. Perfect for date night, birthdays, or just treating yourself to a really good meal.

It was spectacular with an order of fresh, garlicky naan. The spicy mango margarita cocktail was also amazing! The service was very good. The ambiance was nice, with an upscale feel.

We only had small plates - Edamame Masala Croquetted (VG) and Eggplant & Potato Chaat (VG, GF). Both were very tasty, but the Edamame had a little bit of kick to it due to the masala's they used. We didn't end up ordering any entrees because the small plates were a good portion for 2 people. The menu itself looks very delicious with a mix of Indian and Fusion. Lots of vegetarian options and they're willing to customize many items. Overall, it was a good experience. I'd def come back for another visit.

Off the bat I knew the bread was going to be amazing just by how hot and airy it was. The beef kabob was so flavorful and tender. The chicken wasn't quite as good in my opinion but it was cooked absolutely perfectly. I wish it had a little spice or punch to the flavor. The sauce that came with both dishes was also very good. The star of the meal was the mantu. It's hard to describe to someone who hasn't had it but it's a dumpling with a bunch of seasoning and sauce on top. I wasn't a huge fan of the consistency of the pumpkin, I wish it was more a mashed potato fluffiness. Overall, I'd say this place is my new go-to for beef kabobs.
