I like the vibe of the place. Big bar it he middle, outdoor seating, cozy booths around the sides. The booths are QUITE cozy... My husband and I are extra extra large folks... so it did make for a slightly crowded experience. But it didn't take away from the food. I looked at the menu before I went, and KNEW I had to have the Everything Bagel tini! I LOVE a savory drink, and they are few and far between. It was tasty... Then, we proceeded to order what felt like everything on the menu... The cucumbers, the egg plant, the falafel, the lamb butter with horseradish beets, the whipped feta with honey, the kanpachi crudo, the fried bread, lamb and beef manti. We ordered only one main course... the pastrami lamb shank, and it was AMAZING!!!!! I do wish they coursed it out a little better. Everything came at what felt like the exact same time... I'm glad the plates were very small, but you eat on the same ones through the whole meal, so there was definitely a lot of mixing food on the plates. We had to share the Baklava apple pie for dessert, too. Paired the whole thing with a couple of interesting wines (one Greek and one Slovakian) - and I even enjoyed a Raki to end the night. (Everyone tried it. I'm the only one who enjoyed it! lol) I think this would be a really fun place to go and get a seat at the bar, try a few things, have a few cocktails. It wasn't overly expensive, and definitely not even a little bit fussy. It's the same group that does Emmer and Rye. Fun times all around!

We ordered the moroccan carrots, kanpachi crudo and seared octopus. They were all amazing and satisfying but the kanpachi crudo is one of the best dishes I've ever had. The presentation is gorgeous and gives an expectation of acidity but the flavor is so subtle and balanced. Our server Shaza, also amazing, told us it was just updated and bravo to chef Jonah. Well done!

Quite an interesting place with a pleasant interior and an unusual presentation of the dishes. Many of the plates don’t really match the traditional or expected way those dishes are usually served. The hummus was tasty, and the meat was quite juicy. Our server messed up the order a bit, it seemed like he either forgot or something went wrong, because we waited for a long time and had to ask twice. In the end, one dish that was supposed to be a starter arrived more than an hour later. Overall, the experience was still pleasant, but the prices are above average. If you want to feel full, you’ll probably need to order two or three dishes. We also tried the cocktails, interesting and unusual flavors, but not really something classic that would appeal to everyone.

We tried cocktails, a bunch of appetizers, and the chicken shawarma. Everything was really good, and they even threw in a free appetizer for us! My only complaint was that the lamb with the hummus was dry and chewy. I’ll definitely be back to try the desserts next time!

I’ve wanted to visit this restaurant for a while and finally made it out here and let’s just say I was nothing short of impressed! The quality of the food and presentation was insane. So so good. Also whatever you order, do yourself a favor in order the pickle plate - it has pickled vegetables, but aside from that has these two Mediterranean dips that’s have such a wonderful flavor and spice and go well with anything you order. 10/10
