May 27, 2026"Oh my what a refreshing change to the local menu options. Reasonably priced, atmosphere was relaxed and elegant at the same time. The food delighted my palate. Just the right amount spice and herbs to bring out the flavor of the lamb."

Mar 02, 2026"The food was tasty, everyone enjoyed their entrees. The portions were huge, almost everyone in our party was able to get a second meal out of their order. The only downsides to this place is that it can be slightly pricey (but again, it's more like you're getting two meals) and it can get pretty loud inside."
