They just asked we be done by 9:30 pm for the next party. Mix of regional dishes but primarily Middle Eastern. We also had chicken shish tauk which is a kebab. The rice pilaf contains almonds so be aware for those of you with nut allergies. I had the lamb kebabs which came with roasted potatoes. All the food was very good. We sat on the lower level and inside which was cozy. Please note the stairs are steep and the head space as you are going down or between rooms is low.

We had a great experience and if we are in the area will definitely be back. Make sure to make reservations in advance. Also to give your self time to see the beautiful town. One last recommendation is after dinner, visit the "teteria" where you can enjoy drinks and desert on the rooftop terrace.

I love anchovies so I had their small appetizer for one and it was spot on. I also had a fish in salsa- sooo good. We finished off with their cheesecake which is not like American cheesecake. More mild with a different texture and also good but their strawberry ice cream which was more like a gelato and their side of fresh whipped cream stole the show. Their cafe con leche was also one of the best I have had on our 2 week long trip. On top of that the restaurant has so much character- get there early to snag a seat inside. I highly recommend this place.

The bartender almost didn't want anything to do with me, but several of his cohorts helped out. Very good selection of entrees as well as tapas. No sangria either.
