It was welcoming and vibrant and homey all at the same time. The owner was there talking with customers, and after giving us time to look over the menu she came to us and asked us to place our order all together. We got grape leaves, baba Ghosh, Greek salad and tabouli to share. I also got hot tea which was dark and fragrant. The meal came quickly and melted in our mouths! I loved the vibrancy of the tabouli, and the texture of the grape leaves were amazing. We sat to enjoy the meal and would fur sure return again and again. It was delicious!

First let me start by saying I Absolutely love this establishment for many reasons. My partner and…read moreI grocery shop here multiple times a week and eat from their menu probably just as often! However- lately the quality of the kitchen and the food coming out of it hasn't been the same the past couple months and I'm not sure what's going on back there. I've had several issues with food orders lately and one that included a hair in my wrap. I truly want to keep supporting this place because overall it's great! But I will be hesitant to order from their kitchen for a while.

My favorite restaurant in Cincinnati! A must try if you're visiting or in town. My go to for…read morespecial celebratory dinners. Food: 5/5 Dishes are explained as slightly larger plates than tapas style. My favorites: Wood Grilled Octopus, Crispy Falafel, Bouillabaisse. Love the Moroccan Mint Tea as well! Service: 4.7/5 Very friendly! They course out your plates for you which I always love. They were able to accommodate my pescatarian diet (I.e., meats on the side to give to others at the table). On a less busy night, they offered a free toast for my birthday. I've been for other celebratory dinners here on busier nights where that hasn't happened, so it was a lovely surprise! Ambiance: 4/5 A little busy and can get loud on the weekends with table chatter, cutlery clinks, and the brick walls echoing noise around. Tables are also close together, so you can definitely hear the conversation next to you. The decor is pleasant and the lighting is soft and romantic enough that it is still a perfect date night spot! There are also a couple larger crescent booths for larger parties.

We…read moretypically like small plates, bar seating and a lively scene where we can interact with others. This place hit all the boxes. We were able to score bar seats without a reservation and had a nice time here. Parking - we ubered here, it looks like they had street parking but that might have been more tricky. We tried: Octopus - great, a tad salty Gambas - my husband enjoyed this Salmon - I especially liked the crunchy chickpeas Chenin Blanc Normandia White Blend Neon Lights (cocktail) - not my favorite Rosé - amazing, a great porch pounder.

Even though there was a wait, the bartender and server kindly invited us to sit at the bar so we wouldn't have to stand in line.
