Been wanting to try this one for foreverrrrr and it did not disappoint (for the most part). The apps were so good; glad my friends were adamant in getting both breads because (1) you’ll need all that quantity for the generous portion of mast o Musir (garlicky, feta goodness), and (2) they’re genuinely so yummy and different from each other. The eggplant and date salads were also great - very different flavor profiles but both complex; date salad was sweet and refreshing and the eggplant was creamy + umami. The lamb ribs were crazy tender - not gamey at all though very fatty. The entrees were where there were a few misses. The striped bass kebab and the crab rice it came with was good. But the chicken and wagyu kebab were meh to me; the meat felt tough and the sauces felt like they were just sitting on top of the meat as opposed to fully marinated/infused in. The dessert (ice cream sandwich) was alright but ngl we had to go to another dessert shop after to fully satisfy our sweet cravings. All in all though, very solid. We did manage to do a walk-in for 4 and landed a table(!!!) though we went right when it opened.
