Decided to go here on a lark. We weren't particularly hungry, but wanted something better than fast food. The restaurant was very clean and we loved the design and decor which was opulent, but not ostentatious. We got the fried spinach pies as an appetizer which were very good. My wife got the Blackened Fish and I got the Red Velvet Chicken. Both meals were absolutely delicious.
The fish had an amazing depth and balance of flavor. The sauce was cooked with a variety of vegetables, mushrooms and spices, which was a perfect balance of spicy and umami. My wife took the first few bites, let me taste some (which was amazing), and then squeezed the lemon onto it. Absolute game changer. The fish went from amazing to excellent. The lemon really opened up the flavors of the dish and added a dash of freshness that we didn't even know it needed.
The chicken was moist and extremely flavorful. It was cooked in perfectly caramelized onions with bell peppers. Again, the depth and complexity of flavors was unbelievable.
Both dishes were served with rice and hummus, which were both the best we've ever had anywhere.
Our server was attentive and sweet. She was always there when we needed her, but never hovered. The chef came to the table after the meal to check on us and he had a great personality.
We have eaten at several Greek/Lebanese restaurants, in several different cities and states, and this was by far the best. This may be the best restaurant in Lake Charles. I cannot say enough about how great this whole experience was, and there is no doubt we...
Read moreI've been wanting to try this place for a while. My husband and I arrived on a Friday night at around 6 pm. We walked in and there was a couple sitting at the bar and only two other tables were occupied. We were sat in a booth. We were promptly seated and greeted. Even as far as introducing all the servers and the cook for the night.
We ordered a Moscato and a Dos Xx, which they were out of both. I ordered a lemon drop off their menu and my husband ordered a crown and coke. We ordered an appetizer of hummus, I believe it was the spicy one. It was AMAZING! It came out quickly with hot pita bread. I ordered the beef kabob and my husband ordered the shrimp kabob. I ordered a drink called the dragonfly.
The beef was so tender and seasoned perfectly. The vegetables were on point. I don't know what they did to them, but they were AMAZING. My husband's shrimp, oh my, the seasoning was good, now, he did wish he had more of those shrimp. But he wasn't starving by no means, but they were so good. The hummus with the chickpeas on the plates were great too.
To finish it off we ordered baklava to split. It was warm and so good. 🤌🤌🤌🤌
The atmosphere, service, and food 10/10! I...
Read moreI should have listened to the other reviews about how rude the dude is. My husband and I went last week and got there at 11:10 a.m, open sign was on, door was unlocked. We walked in and was instantly greeted by the hostess, she grabbed the menus and went to seat us and the dude in the back just shouts her name, so rudely. She's just standing there like a deer caught in headlights like she didn't understand. He then points to his wrist then puts his hands on his head and starts shaking his head like he was griping about the time....we turned around and walked straight out and said NEVERMIND!!! Poor girl! Why have open sign on and door unlocked if you're not ready, dude!!! Can't say how the food was because that was our 1st time in the door. Will never know either because I'll never go back. If that guy was the owner, he will never keep workers and his business will fail. To the hostess working that day, go to another restaurant and work. There's plenty here that will treat you better, you did NOT deserve to be yelled at, especially infront...
