I’m not entirely sure how to pronounce the name of this restaurant, but that’s beside the point—what matters is that Grtnak is easily one of the best spots in town!
The food is absolutely fantastic. Even their green salad stands out, offering a freshness and vibrancy far beyond your typical house salad.

Their samsa is next-level, and the breakfast items, especially the lahmajo, are incredible. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but the food more than makes up for it. Definitely a must-try! My new fav...
