The food here is undeniably tasty! We ordered the chicken and filet mignon plates, and both were solid choices. Each plate came generously served with a bed of rice, a grilled pepper, hummus, onions, pickles, bread, and a garlic spread (exclusive to the chicken plate).
The Chicken: Definitely the standout! It was flavorful, well-seasoned, and incredibly tender. The Filet Mignon: While not as flavorful as the chicken, it was still very tender and enjoyable. Sides: The grilled pepper, onions, and pickles were fantastic accompaniments, adding a nice balance of texture and flavor to the meal.

The server was rude, was standoffish from the beginning and I had to basically beg for my drink as i had to remind him repeatedly. I had a question and had to wait half an hour for him to show up.
Overall, the food was okay but terrible service. Wouldn’t recommend for first time and I was very excited to try this mediterranean spot...
