I had a very poor experience here. I came with a couple of coworkers during our lunch break (which…read moreis an hour duration). It was our first time here and this place was recommended by other people from work. We decided to dine in because we thought it might've been convenient but we were dead wrong. It took almost an hour to get our food that we had to let them know we wanted it packed to-go instead, because we had to get back to work. When my coworker ask for it to be changed to to-go the worker gave him an attitude about it. Service definitely was not great and felt very inconsiderate. While waiting we saw people who came in after us. They had also decided to dine in. They managed to get their food before us when we had been waiting for almost an hour. When we finally managed to get our order. The food was not worth the wait or the price. The ambiance of the restaurant was somewhat welcoming.

From the moment I made the reservation, I was impressed. I booked online and received a…read moreconfirmation call within minutes to verify the reservation since it was a busy Saturday night. It was a small touch, but it immediately conveyed a level of attentiveness and professionalism. The highlight of the evening was the service. Kareem was exceptional. He didn't simply take our order--he guided us through the entire experience. His knowledge of the menu was impressive, from explaining dishes in detail to recommending wine pairings that complemented the meal perfectly. He checked on us consistently without ever being intrusive and genuinely made us feel welcome. He wasn't just selling food; he was representing the restaurant and the overall dining experience, and he did so exceptionally well. The restaurant itself strikes a wonderful balance between sophisticated and approachable. It feels upscale without being pretentious. I appreciated the attention to detail throughout the space, including the beautiful brass accents above the bar. The patio looked inviting, although the summer heat made indoor seating the better choice during our visit. The food arrived surprisingly quickly, and every dish we ordered was outstanding. Some of the selections were served chilled, which likely contributed to the speed, but nothing felt rushed. The quality and presentation were excellent. My only minor caution is parking. Depending on when you arrive, you may need to park a couple of blocks away and walk. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's worth planning for. If you're unfamiliar with the area, it may be helpful to call ahead and ask for parking recommendations. Overall, this was an incredible dining experience, combining outstanding service, a beautiful atmosphere, and excellent food. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable night out.

Got it -- here's the revised version with that correction integrated cleanly:…read more We stopped in for a quick snack before waiting for the streetcar during the World Cup. We didn't have reservations and were dressed casually. The hostess was friendly and welcoming, and we were seated in what was referred to as the "other dining room," down a dark hallway into a musty, warm, and humid space. Service was prompt and courteous, but the food was very disappointing. We were served a cucumber salad that oddly tasted like peanuts, followed by six completely flavorless meatballs--no seasoning at all, not even salt. The prices might be reasonable if the quality matched expectations, but it didn't. The contrast between the main dining room and the "other room" also felt stark and uncomfortable, as if it were a second-tier seating area. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant based on this experience.

The server was knowledgeable about which dishes to try and they recommended the beet pkhali dip so I had to give that a try. That Georgian beet dip was super good that I would order seconds. The classic hummus dip with flatbread was yummy too. The kebab platter with jujeh kabob, koobideh kabob, and adana kabob was the star of the show since all kebabs were flavorful and tender. The Persian butter rice was fire and one of the best rice dishes I've ever eaten to the point that I would eat it every day for the rest of my life. The only downsides are that it's not open during lunch and it's expensive but it's worth it. Overall, I would definitely return to this restaurant whenever I'm back in KC and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting KC. It was definitely worth about a three hour drive from Wichita and I don't regret it. It's easily one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten in KC and probably my entire life.

By the time I got home, the pizza was cold and difficult to chew. I'm sure it would have been much better if it had been served fresh. The mezes were also packed together, so they ended up mixing with each other. It would be nicer if they were stored in separate containers. The chicken, however, was really good. I'll definitely be coming back to eat there in person and enjoy everything fresh.

It had been about eight years since my last visit, and it was every bit as amazing as I remembered. The food was outstanding. I ordered the Philly Gyro with fries, and it was absolutely delicious. My friends ordered a variety of other dishes, and everything we tried was flavorful, well-seasoned, and juicy. I also love hummus, and theirs is some of the best I've ever had. The service was excellent as well. Our waiter was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The atmosphere matched the food perfectly. We sat outside on the back patio, and it was a beautiful day. The setting was relaxing, and it made the experience even more enjoyable.

You feel welcomed the second you walk in, and somehow that warmth makes its way into the food too. I've tried just about every Mediterranean spot in Kansas City, and this one stands out every single time. It tastes the most authentic and the least commercial by far. Everything feels fresh, intentional, and made with care. Nothing tastes rushed or mass produced. There's real love in the food here, and you can taste it. Their dolmas especially take me right back to my grandmother's kitchen. That kind of food memory is hard to put into words, but if you know, you know. Comforting, fresh, flavorful, and made in a way that feels deeply rooted and genuine. With the World Cup approaching and so many people coming through Kansas City, visitors need to know about places like this. These are the local spots worth seeking out. The kind you leave talking about afterward and craving again the next day. And if they have the mint lemonade, order it. The rose lemonade is always incredible too. If you can get both, mix them and thank me later. A true Kansas City gem. You won't regret stopping here.
