Our group of six was down with trying a vegan restaurant. Our vegan in the group made our reservation for Saturday night, October 25th, 2025. Ready to go, we showed up early and we were fine with being told to come back closer to "on time". Which we did. We went a couple of blocks away and of course ordered up cocktails. When we went back we were told, by two very unpleasant hostesses, that we were basically out of luck and they didn't have any idea when they could possibly seat us. We then spoke to the manager and let us know that he was new and couldn't help our group of six. We left, hungry and disappointed. read more

When I say the best vegan restaurant I have ever been to I mean it. It's rare that you get unique, cultural vegan dishes, with great ambiance. This restaurant is not just about the food but the experience. The staff are extremely nice and helpful when navigating the menu. They were very helpful with a gluten allergy and very knowledgeable. It is rare to see a knowledgeable wait staff that actually cares about allergies and sensitivities. Food is beautiful and tastes even better than it looks. The egg tastes just like real egg. Absolutely amazing all around! Highly recommend. read more

This place is fantastic - both the food and service. We tried most of the spreads and a few of the entrees and everything was top notch.

You need to try this place - especially my non-vegan / vegetarians. Your mind is going to be blown. Everything tasted like actual meat and cheese, it was wild. The drinks here are also awesome, all fresh and natural ingredients. The service was great and our server was accommodating with my drink requests. Food breakdown: try the kebabs, bread, hummus, lamb cigars, chicken gyro, and dumplings. In my opinion, you can skip the ricotta and skip the Khachapuri pide. Overall I'd highly recommend trying Anixi for an awesome vegan meal that does not sacrifice on quality or taste! Great for any occasion and is ideal for 4 people so you can try a lot of the menu. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This is an all vegan establishment that is more than your typical vegan restaurant. The food looks and tasted exactly like meat but better! With more flavor, I was so happy with all the dishes I ordered! Highly recommend the Ekmek Kataifi dessert - not too sweet and filling. Service is quick, for 2 people with one appetizer, two entrees and one dessert less than 90 min. Ambiance is beautiful and you can see the menu without a flashlight. Our server Jared was excellent and very knowledgeable about the menu. Clean bathroom as well. read more

I've been to Anixi about five times, and, despite a huge selection of appealing dishes, I keep ordering the same things because I love them so much. I forgot to take photos of the heavenly breads, which are served straight out of the oven, I think. If someone told me that I could eat nothing but breads and dips from Anixi for the rest of my life, I'd probably be happy. read more

Service was really good! Rachel was very attentive and provided great recommendations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is beautiful and gives a romantic vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is good, but it tastes too much like real meat (I know for a lot of people this is amazing, but I'm more on the plant based taste side). Other than that it was a great experience. It's a good place to bring friends who are not used to eat plant based and appreciate the "meat" flavour. read more

Last night, had a lovely meal at Anixi. We had the five dip mezze ($38), that came with choice of two breads from their bread collection. For the dips, we enjoyed most of all the eggplant, hummus and squash. The Taramasulata, which in the non-vegan world has a traditional fish roe component, was essentially yogurt with only a hint of other flavors. As my mother would say, "it needed more taste." The whipped ricotta didn't impress until we dipped down into the apricot sauce at the base of the ricotta ball. The combination of the ricotta and other flavors was heavenly. (And, to be fair to the ricotta itself, it was a very good vegan ricotta. It just, as ricotta itself, doesn't have sufficient flavor on a piece of bread to make for a tasty dip. For breads, we got the Za'atar pita and the layered herb bread. Both were good and a nice size portion for group dipping. When I saw $38 for dips and bread, I thought that was a lot. But there was plenty of dip for 4 people with some left on the table and two healthy portions of bread. (Two large pitas and one full loaf of the layered herb.) The dips were pretty filling, but we persevered as we wanted to try the meat items we had been hearing raves about, and ordered the Manti Lamb Pockets ($20) and Grilled Steak Shish Kebob ($34). The lamb dish was very good, with delicious spicing of the "meat" and tasty outer wrapper. The spicing of the dish makes it. OK, now to the Grilled Steak. Honestly, I took a bite and searched for hidden cameras because I said this has to be beef and we are being punk'd. Everything about this was incredible. The flavor, the texture, the feel and appearance of the "meat" fibers when the meat is being cut. Bravo! And, for the record, I normally eat meat and steak - including meat and steak that doesn't have quotation marks. The service was good. Water containers were placed on the table and replaced promptly when empty. Service was good, but was not pushy. I recommend the restaurant. We didn't have dessert, but the desserts I saw at a couple of other tables looked good. One thing: We had a reservation for 3 and were seated at a smallish round table in the middle of the restaurant. There were four chairs and place settings at the table, and we did have a fourth person join us, but I have to say the table was pretty cramped for four people for a restaurant that serves dips, breads and other items for sharing on serving plates. It was fine, but if you make a reservation for 4, do see if you can get one of the larger diameter round tables. read more

Service - weirdly slow, the server forgot about us multiple times which was frustrating. She was running around and clearly over worked. But was very friendly when she did come over Ambiance - beautiful decor Food - if was all very uniquely done. The chick'n gyros had a cool presentation but gave me enchiladas vibes. The skewers had a ton of flavor and very good, plus it's cool it come on little skewer swords. The lamb was very tasty (was giving Trader Joe's fake chorizo taste, which I love so no biggie), I liked it in "cigar" form! The ice cream was unbelievable, I forgot we were at a vegan restaurant that's how real it tasted, the date cake it came with was cold though.. I think it would've been better if it was hot! Drinks - we didn't drink but their saffron mocktail was phenomenal! read more

Good. Filling. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Gorgeous, though the seats are not very mobility friendly (narrow space between tables and small tables).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was good. The vegan egg kachapuri is odd if you never ate an egg before, but it grows on you. Good for those who like the meat substitutes (it's menu is heavy on it). read more

This was an overall enjoyable meal with plenty of interesting flavors and textures. The mock meats are apparently quite realistic. Manti - full of a chewy, savory filling with warm spices. The dumpling wrapped had just the right balance of softness and bite. My second favorite dish. Cured tuna - I didn't love this, but it might be because the texture was pretty realistic to cured fish. The flavor was pretty mild, it seems mostly about the texture. Olive za'atar pide - my favorite dish. The cured lemon adds fantastic dimension to the flavor from its saltiness and sourness. The bread had just the perfect texture and rich flavor. Beef mnazaleh - nice hearty stew with warm spices. It pairs well with the pot pie like crust on top. The only drawback was that the crust was a little challenging to peel off the dish. I had the crystal clear to drink, which had great fruity and herbal flavors with a clarified taste, even while not using any dairy. The meal came out to about $170 per person with the four dishes and two drinks after tax and tip, which is about expected for food of this quality. read more

I don't dream about food. I enjoy food, I appreciate especially good food. I like cooking creative dishes. But after trying the kabobs at Anixi I've started dreaming about food. Is there a special occasion coming up that I can use as an excuse to go back to Anixi? Next level Mediterranean cuisine, whether you are vegan or not. I've eaten some great food in some interesting places, but Anixi is something very special. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is transporting, and you'll feel like you've stepped into another time and place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Anixi also has the best waiter I've ever experienced: his attentiveness, descriptions, and drive to make our time there unbelievable....it just reinforced that Chef Guy Vaknin pays attention to every detail of his restaurants. Take a tour through all the City Roots NYC restaurants, but end at Anixi! read more

Every single thing we ate here was delicious. I went with one friend - my only regret is not going with more so we could try more of the menu! We started with house made sodas. The prickly pear and mint and the pomegranate and oregano were both so refreshing. We also got the 3 dip mezze to share - the fire roasted eggplant, hummus, and whipped ricotta were excellent. My personal favorite was the eggplant. We shared the ricotta and spinach borek rolls and grilled chick'n shish kabob for entree. The borek rolls were a standout - buttery and light with a delicious dipping sauce. My absolute favorite thing we got was the Medjool date cake for dessert. I still think about this weeks later... Absolutely perfect. This is a great spot for vegans and meat lovers alike - I can't wait to come back and try more! read more

What an experience! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the appearance of this restaurant, it had an opulent art-deco style, how grand! I took my Northridge here for a birthday dinner because he's vegan (I'm not). The service was top notch and very attentive. The food...DELIGHTFUL! Every bite was just divine, and no, I'm not exaggerating. We tried the crispy lamb cigars, ricotta and spinach borek rolls, kofta kabob, grilled asparagus, confit potatoes, medjool date cake, rose malabi, Anixi sunset, and two cocktails (don't remember their names). We. Loved. It. All. And we will be returning, not only for these items but to try the rest of the menu! read more

An incredibly beautiful vegan restaurant hidden in midtown. From the cocktails to being too stuffed for dessert, our group of four had a really wonderful dinner here. If you are looking for an upscale vegan friendly restaurant, I don't think you need to look any further. Their entire bar menu is a cocktail lovers dream. Between the fig blossom, Greek frappé, fig and cinnamon old fashioned and every other delicious looking drink, you are going to find one (or more than one) that you are excited to try. I went for the rosemary grapefruit sour. It had everything I usually love in a cocktail, but with ouzo. When in Rome, right? We started with the dip mezze, trying all five and this was absolutely my favorite part of the meal. As a Greek girl who loves her taramasalata, I was not sure what to expect from this dip. While it didn't have the fishiness that you'd expect, it was really delicious! The eggplant, hummus and kabocha squash were all fantastic as well, but the whipped "ricotta" was definitely my favorite. I'd recommend just getting them all to try, but if you are going to go the 3 dip route, I suggest, the ricotta, eggplant and taramasalata. The breads that came with everything were hot and so tasty. Perfect way to start a meal. Other things I loved: - beet and citrus salad, fresh, light and delicious - the "ricotta" and spinach borek rolls, tasted like spanakopita! - the glazed carrots and turnips. If you love beets (raises hand) you will love the salad: fresh, light and delicious. What we tried that I didn't love: - artichoke tots, a little too tried and heavy for me and not too much flavor. - the grilled steak shish kabob. Is it weird to say I didn't like it because it tasted TOO much like real meat?? I am not vegan or vegetarian, so I can see this being a great dish for someone that is and misses having the occasional steak. Worth a try if that sounds like you! As someone with the world's biggest sweet tooth, I am very upset I didn't have room for dessert. The date cake and rose malabi *dreams of being back in Greece and Cyprus* sounded incredible. But there is always next time. read more

This has to be one of the best vegan meals I've had in a while! We got the spiced sangria and the prickly pear & mint house made soda to start and both were delicious!! For food, we got the khachapuri, grilled chicken kebab and medjool date cake - all of which i would 100% eat again! The eggs on the khachapuri are still so shocking to me that they were vegan, because they tasted so real to me which is great! I'm not a vegan but i genuinely enjoyed this place and would like to come again to try more of the menu items. Our waitress was so kind and helpful guiding us through the menu. The food and drinks came out relatively quickly and was hot!! Don't think there's an item on the menu that could lead you astray, hope you check it out and love it :) read more

Came here for dinner on a Monday night and it was incredible! The inside is beautifully decorated and the staff is super attentive and helpful. We started with the 3 dips with pita bread and got the taramasalata, fire roasted eggplant and whipped ricotta - all were delicious but the whipped ricotta was my absolute favorite. For our mains we got the lamb pockets which were so delicious and paired beautifully with the sauce on the side. We also got the chicken kabob which truly tastes like chicken and was really well cooked. We ended with the rose malabi which was super refreshing and almost felt like a palette cleanser. The rose flavor really comes in strong but it's very well balanced. Would absolutely return! read more

Vegan or not this restaurant is a must! It sits in one of my favorite buildings and is just beautiful with an old NY ambiance. What we had was amazing, definitely recommend ordering the dips to start along with the layered bread. We also ordered the non-chicken skewers and honestly if you didn't know you were eating soy you would have no idea. The texture and taste is that on point. The servers were very attentive and were very helpful with suggestions. I would love to come back for dinner. read more

loooove anixi! my favorite vegan meal in nyc. on a mission to try all of guy's restaurants but anixi has remained my favorite. the ricotta dip is a MUST. also the dolmas, and mushroom skewers are insane. for my personal taste the kappachuri (spelling??) was not for me - i have tried the egg and olive one. i did like them, but were a little too eggy/cheesy for my longtime vegan self it freaked me out! but my omni friends who i went with all loved them. [[HIGHLIGHT]]their deserts and wine options are also great, and a fun ambiance for a relatively upscale or celebratory dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] can't wait for my next visit! read more

The best vegan restaurant I've been to. I've been to 3 or 4 of some of them best vegan restaurants in the city, but this is by far my favorite. First, the ambiance is GORGEOUS. It's a historic building you'd never expect on this block. I think it was first an opera house, then the scene of a firearms battle in the late 1800s - there's a lot of history here. The original features are all intact, they did a great job with the buildout. Secondly, Mediterranean is such a good choice for vegan friendly food because there are many dishes that are vegan by accident. They also have an extensive cocktail list. Thirdly, this restaurant was poppin. Totally full on a Thursday at 7pm. Love to see a restaurant fully booked out. The mezze options are of course a must. I recommend getting all 5 (I think it's only $35?) and it comes with a huge amount of food. This alone could feed 2 people or more a full meal. My favorites were the squash hummus and EGGPLANT (get the eggplant). The beef skewers were also incredible. Texturally extremely similar to beef - kind of like corned beef but in a great way. The flavor is good too, the aftertaste is a little less like beef. For true vegans coming here, I think this dish is almost too realistic. As a carnivore, I'd be happy to return to this restaurant. My new go to for nights out with vegan friends! read more

As a vegetarian with a passion for Turkish cuisine, I was probably biased to like Anixi to start with. But I do have to commend them for the sheer aesthetic quality of the restaurant, which makes dining here a pleasure even before discussing the quality of the vegan Mediterranean cuisine on offer. About half of the menu has a heavy Turkish bent, and the rest is mostly pan-Levantine. My favorite items were the lahmacun, which I've been wanting to try at some of my favorite Turkish and Armenian bakeries for years - finally I had the opportunity to at Anixi, and it had a lovely flavor from the fake minced meat and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. I also enjoyed the vegetarian mantı - the fake lamb filling was flavorful and the dumplings were soft, although I would have appreciated a bit more garlic in the yogurt as is traditional. The rakı-cured salmon was shockingly real, so be prepared if it's been a while since you've eaten seafood. I was not as crazy about the pide, it was a bit too doughy without much flavor. read more

I am far from being vegan but I'm open to trying new things. came here for dinner with a friend to this beautiful restaurant. You can tell every detail was considered and done with intention. Greeted by a friendly waiter who explained the menu and even gave some recommendations. I shared the lamb cigars and lamb pockets for starters. It was delicious and bursting with flavor. As an entree i devoured the Chick'n shish kabob. It was so juicy. i was worried i would need more than a kabob for my main but luckily i was wrong. By the time i finished i was full and sleepy. However, I heard good things about the date cake so greedily i asked for that too lol. Anixi was nothing short of perfection. If this can be every day life as a vegan, sign me up!! P.s my friend order the risotto and of course thought it was sublime. read more

Excellent vegan mediterranean food in a beautiful setting! I visited with a couple friends which meant getting to try a bunch of stuff! We started with the mezze dips. My personal favorite was the taramasalata (the seaweed caviar was so fun!), but a close second and a favorite of the others was the fire roasted eggplant dip. We chose to get the herb bread which was delicious, but it was a hard choice and the pita looked great too. The bread provided is definitely not enough for all of the dip, but we saved it and used some of the bread from our pide that came later instead of ordering more bread. Next up, we got the manti "lamb" pockets, which were little dumplings, and the ricotta and spinach borek that was cut for us tableside. I really liked the borek, which was kind of similar to spanakopita. Our last item was the za'atar pide, which was cheesy and salty (in a good way!). The cheese to me did not seem obviously vegan and was very well melted. Overall this was a great meal and great service. While it was great to try things I don't normally see on menus at other vegan restaurants, I do wish there were a few more vegetable-forward dishes on the menu. We ended up with a lot of bread (maybe our fault!), so that would have been a nice balance. read more

A beautiful Midtown gem serving up delicious Mediterranean eats -- not to mention, completely vegan! We stopped in for a late Saturday lunch and I'm obsessed. The ambiance is so lovely, everything from the chairs to dish-ware is well thought-out. It's definitely a relaxed meal -- our food took a while to come out, so would stop by when you're not pressed for time. We started with the Mezze -- easily my favorite part of the meal. All of them were excellent but the Whipped Ricotta is a must-have. We split the Lamb Cigars and Chicken Shish Kebab, which were tasty though I liked the latter more. All of the food here was delicious, and the plates are great for sharing. I only wish we had room for dessert! read more

This is a great vegan option for people that aren't vegan. You can't even tell that their food is completely vegan. It is also kosher as well. It's a large restaurant so great for big groups and they have an extensive menu. Make sure you leave room bc or the vegan ice cream. read more

I absolutely loved this restaurant. First of all the staff was fantastic and service was amazing. Our waiter was fantastic and I loved his energy. As someone who doesn't eat meat, I usually don't specifically seek out vegan restaurants. But this spot was delicious. I very much recommend getting the three dip entrée. Because every dip I tried was perfection. read more

Incredible spot top to bottom! I can't wait to be back. The flavors they're able to get at this vegan spot are incredible. It was so fun to order "meat" dishes and see how closely they got to the anticipated dish while remaining completely vegan. I highly recommend the lamb cigars. The squash mezze was also wonderful. Other favorites included the beef dolmas and mushroom kebabs. The tuna appetizer was the only one I'd skip next time, and it was still amazing! read more

came on a wednesday to celebrate a friends birthday! heard many wonderful things about this restaurant and had 1 vegetarian in the group so figured we needed to give it a shot. the interior is very cute and the staff is incredibly friendly. we were a party of 6 and our server was the nicest person. he helped us navigate the menu and gave us great recommendations/feedback. the food was kinda insane - was really surprised it was fully vegan because some stuff really tasted like egg / cheese some faves were the chicken gyro rolls, the 3 mezze dips (especially the white sauce one), and dessert. but overall everything was good - only thing id say you can do without is the pita pizza, these were a bit too salty for my liking and probably had the least amount of flavor. the dessert we got was also incredibly divine - had all the baklava flavors and tasted like a sorbet but sweet cheesecake. really in awe that its fully vegan - would definitely recommend this was such a unique dining experience read more

We had dinner at Anixi last Friday and were seriously impressed. Started with the 3 Dip Mezze and their layered herb bread...absolutely delicious. Then came the Manti Lamb Pockets, the Arayes, and the Grilled Steak. Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. Hard to believe it was all plant-based... the "meat" dishes were incredibly close to the real thing. Service was very attentive! A must-try spot for anyone curious about how elevated vegan dining can be. read more

The restaurant looks gorgeous inside, staff were cordial and courteous. We got the lamb cigar rolls, yummy but portioned more like cigarillos. I was really excited to try their khachapuri, but missed the mark, well portioned for two, the cheesyness was missing, more eggy. The chicken gyro rolls were delicious! Definitely get that. We ended with the date cake, which was ok..a little too sweet read more

I wanted to like this restaurant so badly, but alas, I left hungry...after spending $300! First, the good. The wait staff was outstanding. Our waiter was very nice and informative. He made great suggestions and treated our group of four with care. Now for the not so good. While the presentation of each dish was superb, I found most of the items under seasoned. I love hummus but I must be honest and say this hummus was horrible. The Grilled Hanger steak was tasty and vegan and non vegan alike would enjoy it BUT, the portion was way too small for the price. One dish called Chicken Fatteh was small and again, BLAND. Dessert was the same, as each dessert dish was very small and not at all tasty. Being a vegetarian and vegan for over three decades, I KNOW we can do better. All this being said, the PRESENTATION was superb and the same can be said for every member of the staff. My suggestion: either make larger portions or charge less. Add some seasoning to make the dishes unforgettable... read more

I had really big hopes for this place but unfortunately everything was just ok in my opinion. Here's what we got: Drinks: All the cocktails here were phenomenal! Our group tried a variety of cocktails and all of them were really good so you can't go wrong with the drinks. We got the Rosemary Grapefruit Sour, Greek Frappe, Prickly Lemon, all of which were great! Whipped Ricotta: one of my favorite bites! We had it with the buttery soft layered herb bread and it was divine! Im not a huge saffron gal but I lovedddd this dish, 10/10 would recommend Artichoke Tots: These were just ok, didn't taste like anything special. It sounded interesting, I have never had artichoke prepared in this way but it tasted like what is sounds like. Probably not worth it unless you want fried breaded artichoke Manti "Lamb" Pockets: another favorite of the meal! These were basically Mediterranean style dumplings and were packed with flavor. Definitely get this! Ricotta and Spinach Barek Roll: This was also just ok - basically spanakopita in a different format. Nothing elevated or special about how this tasted Grilled Chick'n Shish Kabob: I had really high hopes for this since it was really highly rated and it was also kind of disappointing. I thought this was pretty bland unless you drenched it in sauce Olive Zaatar Pide: This was also just ok, tasted like your average flatbread with no real depth of flavor Overall, loved the drinks, loved the vibes, but the food was just very very average for me. I'd come back for drinks and maybe an app or two but for what we paid for a full meal, I don't think it was worth it read more

I have been here 3 times. Each time better than the last. The dips are amazing but very filling. Bread is fluffy, delicious & irresistible. After my first 2 visits I realized I had to pace myself or I would never get to that Date Cake! My top spreads; Taramasalata & the fire roasted Eggplant but I haven't had them all & I've never been a fan of ricotta. Mains & Kabobs: The grilled steak is great and a must if you are bringing non-vegans but the magic of Anixi is their wizardry with flavors, spices and textures. Get the Wild Mushroom Kabob or the Manti Lamb Pockets & You. Are. Welcome. The Khachapuri is a truest demonstration of their mystical abilities. Georgian Cheesy Bread topped with fried eggs will have you in disbelief that this is vegan.( see my pix below. Sorry I could not get a picture before it was completely demolished!). Next time I want to try that Beef Mnazaleh but it is hard not to order my favorites. Sides: Not a fan of the Mujadara ( kind of bland) but maybe that is the best accompaniment to the plethora of flavors in the other dishes. Asparagus was surprisingly complex and tasty. Next time I want to try the Glazed Carrots & Turnips. Dessert: Finally I had the Medjool Date Cake for the first time. A warm chocolate ganache is poured over the top which obliterated the taste of anything else on the plate. I tried to get to the cake alone without any topping but I didn't taste anything. That said the ganache was delicious but too rich and creamy to be served alone. So if I think of it as a chocolate ganache dish then it was very good. Date Cake not so much. Service was great as always. I prefer the bar to the main but that might just be me in general. Either way eat here,... Alot!!! I rec'd a response to my original review. Appreciate that. Thanks.

Phenomenal food, drinks, ambiance and service! We are already planning to come back with a larger group so we can order and share more food next time! Party of 2, Sunday night. We were both shocked that we hadn't known about this restaurant before. (Another friend recommended this restaurant to me.) Vegan Mediterranean restaurant, but we didn't miss meat or dairy at all. A table for 2 nearby was overheard as saying 'there's no way this is veg, it tastes like meat'. When their entrees arrived I could smell how delicious they were from my table. Party of 2 for "early" Sunday dinner around 5:30 (reserved ahead on Resy). Around 7 pm the dining room filled up. Everything we shared was delicious, good portions and with great presentation. Our waiter was extremely helpful with suggestions and explanations and helped us order the appropriate amount for 2 people to share without it being too much food (or too little!) We shared 1 dip (kabocha squash) 1 order of zaatar pita for the dip (my only gripe is that the dips don't include bread in the price), 1 fried artichoke tots, 1 grilled "chick'n" kebab entree, 1 side of glazed carrots and turnips, and most of a medjool date cake dessert (we were too full to finish it!) Can't wait to come back with a larger group to try one of the pide. The table next to us ordered one and the portion would have been too large for 2 people to share with other food. read more

Incredible and delicious food! We ordered the three dips: Taramasalata, Fire Roasted Eggplant, and Chickpea dip. Each dip was unique and flavorful. The Taramasalata was very unique and the "caviar" texture had the perfect balance with the yogurt. I honestly couldn't believe it was vegan. The eggplant dip was slightly sweet and well seasoned with spices and the chickpea dip was nutty and went perfectly with the pita bread. We also got the chicken kebab and lamb cigars. The chicken kebab...no words. My partner isn't vegetarian, but he said it tasted so close to real chicken he got confused. It was perfectly charred, juicy, and almost tasted fatty? Which is crazy cause it's not chicken! The lamb cigars were also a great option, and the spices in the lamb really capture the earthyness that lamb usually tastes like. Service was awesome too! We sat in the bar area, but the dining place looked really nice too! Overall, incredible experience and would visit again to try more dishes! read more
