Delicious food! Fresh and full of flavor. Service is always incredible, and their daily soup they serve while you wait for your order is always incredible. Love this place.

Good portion size. Good quality and the service was fast. Ambiance was very cozy. Will come back to try another dish

A very good place, excellent quality, good price, card payment is not accepted but there is an ATM inside, they give you a small complimentary seafood or pea soup. They are delicious. I will definitely return several times. It is a gem for foodies

This is hands down the best Mediterranean food in the city. The energy, effort and love goes in to every food dish on the menu. You won't be disappointed. Bring cash.

Tarek is a genuine, kind, and welcoming man, as are his staff.. The food is delicious, high quality, and well priced. If you haven't eaten here then you're missing out. With gratitude

Great food. Nicest people. Dinner for 2 is highly recommended.

It’s been years since I’ve stopped by here and SO glad I did! They have more selection but most important it’s the AMBIANCE & CAMARADERIE as soon as you step inside! Reminds me of the ‘word-of-mouth’ hot spots in Europe ie: Greece Istanbul Italy etc note: cash or e-transfer only

We were here for the first time and had the Dinner for two. It was exceptional !!! Super delicious and a bit of everything. Would come back anytime.
