4 stars because food and drinks were good but service wasn’t the greatest. Came here for a birthday dinner, not realizing they closed at 9pm (reservation was at 8:15). We only came to know after we ordered our drinks. We were taking our time and thought we would start with drinks and an appetizer and move on to the meal. But our server told us 15 minutes after arriving that the kitchen would be closing soon and we needed to place our orders. The whole experience felt a bit rushed. So we ordered our food and appetizers all at once. Another thing… I understand wanting to clear the tables but literally after we were done with our last bite, they were there to collect the plates. They even collected my drink when I wasn’t finished with it. I went to reach for it and it was gone! The artichoke flatbread was good, the side of potatoes was good also but we couldn’t finish the portion so took leftovers. I ordered the lamb shank and it was flavorful and tender. The passion fruit margarita was also refreshing….wish I could’ve finished it though…..The ambience is nice and has nice decor inside.

The food was very delicious and beautifully done. Even though the place was busy, the appetizers arrived quickly. We ordered cauliflower, Brussels sprouts. For dinner, we ordered the lamb shank with couscous and the steak. Both dishes were really good, but the lamb shank was what of this world. It was so tender, the meat just fell off the bones. I just definitely recommend this place.

We just had dinner here and the food here was amazing! The only (small) down side is how busy it is. We had reservations and were able to be seated right away, but ordering took a bit longer than expected as our server had a few large tables in addition to us. Our server was very nice and the food was/is 100% worth the wait!

I enjoyed my dinner here! No wait when I arrived, and it was a very relaxing atmosphere, more on the upscale side. Food was fresh and for me the highlight was the lamb shank–meat was juicy and soft, and slid right off the bone. I love the interior and the service was good from my experience. For me, this is a pleasant spot for date night or an occasion with a group.

Located in Santana row this is a great restaurant. The falafel bites were great. The hummus and egg plant dips were also good but the pita bread was okay. The lavender cooler was really good. The cauliflower could have been better.

We ordered trio of dips with crispy lamb, beef and lamb moussaka and date braised short ribs . Most of the food was bland. Of all the dips, red beet labneh was the most flavorful. Crispy lamb was not crispy at all, and honestly, it is very misleading and not what you’ll expect at all (see photos). Trio of dips comes with chips and bread.

Loved their falafel bites. It’s the best we thing we had there. We ordered it again after the first round. Hummus was also very tasty and creamy. Didn’t like the baklawa cigars dessert much. Felt the original baklawa tastes much better. Overall the ambience and service was very really great! Very limited vegetarian options in the menu.

We have been meaning to go to this place for a while and finally decided to go for a dinner on Friday night. We could only get reservations yo sit outside since the place was fully booked. We ordered the trio dip with crispy mushrooms for starters. We really liked all the 3 dips and the pita was very soft. Overall a flavorful dish. For mains we had the lamb shank and branzino. We were very unimpressed with the lamb shank. It was not flavorful and very chewy. The branzino was really good and the mint and mayo dips along with it were flavorful.
