Wow, so delicious with the spices, the tangy cheese, the creamy egg, and the dough which was tender and flaky. Eggplant 'steak', also a banger. So many different flavors and textures presented in one delicious dish. And the lamb shank. Holy crap, one of the best meals I've had, period. The meat itself is meltingly tender and perfectly seasoned. All of the other stuff on the plate, the dill rice, the red stuff, crispy chickpeas, fava beans, some green sauce and parsely, it might sound like too much but it works so perfectly. Each bite containing a whole odyssey of textures and intense flavors. We got the signature dessert, a nest of phyllo with cardamom mousse, saffron syrup, fresh raspberries and more I'm forgetting. An absolute show stopper, and perfect with a turkish coffee. Even the turkish delight that came with the coffee was delicious. Service was helpful, prompt, and abundantly kind. This might be the best fine dining ROC has to offer.

I chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday, and it exceeded every expectation. From the…read moremoment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating, and their kindness really stood out throughout the evening. The food was outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor, and you could tell a lot of thought and care went into each plate. I tasted the Khachapuri flat bread, Wild Mushrooms, Lamb Lollipops, Kurobuta Pork Chop and the Braised Lamb Shank. Also pictured, the Duck Risotto and the Tomahawk steak. Between the exceptional service, delicious food, and inviting atmosphere, this was a truly memorable dining experience. I would absolutely recommend it for a special occasion or simply a great meal, and I'll definitely be back.

The staff are SO welcoming and give you the feeling as though they are literally welcoming you into their home for a meal.

On this trip I got the braised lamb shank, she got the fetteh, and we both got the Shai karak drinks. The drinks were incredible, flavorful and rich with a hint of spice. My lamb was falling off the bone, didn't even need a knife to get it off. Hers was fresh, flavorful, and she says she "would keep eating if my stomach was bigger". The atmosphere was beautiful, with traditional tapestries and love plants scattered around. Would come again and already planning on it.

The beet salad was excellent and everything you'd want in a fresh salad. Dressing was sublime and didn't overpower the rest of what was on the plate. Can't wait to go back! Very reasonably priced as well. We don't drink but it looked as though they had a nice selection of wine and beer.

The pita is clearly made fresh and somehow stays sturdy without falling apart. Ask them to cut it in half to make it even easier to eat.

Great quality and value all around.
