    Inside the restaurant

    My husband and I stopped in for an early dinner because friends had recommended it. We both ordered the Chicken Kabob Meal. It came with the chicken already off the kabob, rice, onions, zucchini, tahini and taziki. It also came with pita bread. The tea is fresh brewed and really good. I can't do caffeine after 3:00 so our server suggested Hibiscus Tea for me. It was great! Speaking of our server- Shae was fantastic!! The meals were delicious!! We will definitely be back!!

    Wonderful experience all around!!! Everything in here is home made, and you can tell it's made both fresh and made with love. The owners were amazing and so friendly. You can totally tell they are living their passion. Restaurant was clean and pretty inside with all the lights too. We thoroughly enjoyed every bit of our dinner and even you we live 45 minutes away we can't wait to return. Best Mediterranean food in Knoxville for sure!

    Yummy

    The food here is amazing. The woman working was quite the salesperson and storyteller. The food was as good as she hyped. I was with a group celebrating so I was ok spending a little more than I would for lunch which was good because the woman would talk a dish up and just say she'd bring us some. I figured it would show up on our bill which it did. Everything was delicious and I probably wouldn't have tried it otherwise, but I do not like when something is being offered and I can't tell if they're being nice and giving it to you or being a little deceptive and making you pay for it.

    Falafel, Egyptian feta, Hummus, and Baba Ghanoush with fresh pita, tzatziki and tahini!  All fantastic!

    The staff was very friendly and the food was fantastic! Everything is made in house and with high quality ingredients! We just moved to the area and found this restaurant! We will be returning frequently!

    I enjoyed a Turkish coffee with my konafa. The service was polite and efficient. It is located in the Crescent shopping so there is ample parking. The bread is Devine, so be sure to take some home!

    A couple years ago we had KoPita on a food tour and really enjoyed it, so we decided to make a…read morereservation for Valentine's Day. When we made a reservation on the website there was no mention of a pre fixe menu. Not on the website, and not with the reservation. We went intending to get light appetizers, but when we arrived we were told that the only option was a 55 dollar per person menu. While we were annoyed by the bait and switch we decided to stay because there was no chance of getting a table anywhere else. I'll start by saying that I Know that Valentine's Day is historically very busy, but over half the tables in the restaurant were empty, and I've been in significantly busier environments where I still received a high level of service. In this instance, saying that we were dismissed by the staff was an understatement. My wife was sat while I was parking, and when I joined her I wasn't even acknowledged by the staff. We asked one question the server who was dropping off the food snapped at us and acted extremely irritated that we even addressed her while she dropped the food off. We asked for tea because we knew that was one of their specialties. The response that was snapped back was "no tea tonight, if you want drinks go pay at the bar, it's separate." The table beside us seemed to clearly be VIPs as the were in fact served several pots of tea. All in all the staff made us feel like we were an inconvenience and they didn't want us to be in the restaurant. The exception was a very nice server wearing a light colored dress, she was very kind, which only made everyone else's disdain all the more evident by contrast. The food itself was just ok. Course 1: salads, it had fruit and fresh vegetables. It was excellent. Course 2: zucchini and eggplant with beef. It was well cooked but the sauce was extremely bland. Course 3: chicken stuffed with liver. This was gross, not even edible. Course 4: leg of lamb with rice. Once again the meat was well prepared, but it here was almost no seasoning. The rice that came with it was undercooked and kinda tough. Course 5: It was listed as braised beef brisket, but it was just an unseasoned pot roast. I expected Mediterranean food to be presented with a significantly more interesting range of flavor profiles. Course 6: Baklava, really great! The layers were crisp and the flavor was smooth. All that to say, it wasn't anywhere near worth the cost, I went for a light dinner and only had the option of buying a heavy 6 course menu. Other tables were given service and we were treated as an annoyance. The location was very convenient, so they have that going for them... which is nice.

    I booked a reservation for Valentine's Day evening before a show downtown. I have been looking…read moreforward to several of the regular menu items (beet salad and their pita/hummus) as well as the Moroccan mint tea. The reservation was made several weeks in advance as tables downtown on Valentine's Day would be a premium. When I arrived to the restaurant I was greeted by a hostess and seated at a table near window with the lovely view of Gay Street. The space was clean, though I noticed several stressed servers. I was not provided with a menu when I sat down. The hostess returned a few minutes later and handed me a standing prefix menu stating "this is what we will be serving tonight." There was no mention of a prefix menu at the time of the reservation. A Pre-fix menu was not mentioned in any of their communication online or on their social media page. It very much felt like a bait and switch for an expensive six course meal. We decided to stay because there would be no other options downtown on a holiday on such notice. The process of how we would be served was never explained. I waved down a waiter to ask for a drink menu, and was told that they had water and anything else is separate and ordered from the bar (not a part of the restaurant).. The food itself was good though I would not have ordered several of the items myself. I especially enjoyed the salad, bread, baklava, and cous cous. The meat dishes were very simply seasoned but well made if not my preference. Portions were generous. I guess what is most frustrating is that we did not consent to a prefix menu at the time of reservation (but then we're stuck on a holiday with no other options)and the quality of the service overall felt like we were an annoyance to the staff for asking questions when the process was never explained at the time of seating. For food only I'd give this restaurant four out of five stars, but our experience was lack-luster for such an expensive meal.
