We got two Arabi platters and a lamb sandwich and there was So Much Food and everything was fresh and tasted amazing.

I also included special instructions to have "salad only, NO RICE" and this was not honored. The food was packaged well with a generous portion size. This was challenged because I didn't recieve enough sauce to enjoy my meal.

The ambiance fit the name perfectly -- subtle hints of blue throughout that tied right back to "d'Azur." We started with a glass of bubbly and focaccia served with three spreads -- the olive tapenade stood out over the butter. For the first course, I had the duck confit salad -- the duck portion itself ran a little light, but the flavor balance was excellent: sweetness from the strawberries, bitterness from the arugula, saltiness from the goat cheese, and umami depth from the duck confit. It's BYOB, we brought both red and white wine to pair across the meal. The table shared the Branzino with French chard, which was outstanding, and the steak frites, which was exceptional and perfect medium rare. I had the duck breast with mushroom, paired with a Pinot Noir -- a great match, and that same Pinot Noir worked beautifully with the steak too. To finish, we shared three desserts: crème brûlée, chocolate truffles with strawberry and pistachio, and a cognac cake topped with a chocolate whipped mousse, walnuts, and strawberry. Tough call on a favorite, but the cognac cake stole the show. Throughout dessert, the staff kept checking in without ever feeling intrusive -- a small thing, but it stood out. A great night out with drink, food, and cousins from start to finish. The service alone is worth going back for. Highly recommend.

It was very clean and fresh inside and everyone was friendly. I tried shakshuka for the first time, and I loved it! It wasn't too heavy, and the sauce was super flavorful sauce. I enjoyed seeing all of the mediterranean-inspired options they had on the menu. I also ordered a plain iced latte which was great! The espresso was very smooth. We went around 9 am on a Monday, so it wasn't super busy, but I've seen this place packed! The lunch menu also seemed super interesting so, so I would love to come back to try more!

My most consistent go-to is the Matcha Latte with Rosewater Simple Syrup. Sometimes you can actually taste the rose and it complements the matcha nicely. One thing I will say for the women, if you are into cycle syncing, there are so many options here for us. Fave foods to order are the cauliflower pita & lentil soup. The salad is quite filling and fresh. Actually all of their food is fresh. I like the falafel bowl although it can be a little dry. I typically drizzle olive oil on it. The tahini is good, but it's only enough for the falafels. The falafels are good as well; authentically flavorful. Def try the meze options. I've never ordered something and didn't get it a second or third time. I eat predominantly vegan and this spot gives me options galore like I'm back in NYC. Amazing for dine-in and the best at bagging your takeout/delivery. Stapling the liquids inside a smaller bag to stay in place in the larger bag? The most thoughtful packing I've come across honestly. Would love to see them add a vegan pastry or few. I appreciate that they do digital rewards now as well

I'm realizing one gyro is for two sittings yet I.. shamefully ate the whole thing. Now I understand why they mentioned a gyro could be 45g of protein. Anywho... what's good about the jerk chicken is although there is some smoke and heat flavor it's not "sweet" just maybe a slight hint that u can barely tell which I love because I don't like sweet meat much... also it doesn't feel heavily salted so u might want to add salt but it's perfect for someone watching their sodium intake! There r some tables inside and u can take out. And of course the spot is halal.

Stopped in for lunch since I had business in Newark because of the vegan options. I had a falafel…read moresalad bowl with hummus, tabbouleh, and a 3rd veggie topping. The base bowl only came with lettuce, rice & falafel (3 items), so my bill came to a whopping $23. While the food was good, it was mad expensive & a very small portion compared to other quick service Mediterranean or Mexican bowl places. The cashier was nice enough to throw in a free pita since I commented on how pricey the addtl items were... so that was nice. But my verdict is I likely won't be back due to the price. And if you go, be forewarned to bring your wallet with you!

That's my only gripe though...the food is fresh and the service is good. Stopped in 40 minutes before close and they seemed to be wrapping up for the night. Sadly, they meant it would be a 15 minute wait for the chicken kabob. Opted for the chicken shawarma which was well cooked and quite tasty. The chicken was piled high on a bed of lettuce and I had cucumber sauce on top. You get two sides with the platter and there's some unique options to compliment your typical choices. The avocado hummus is a nice consistency and a good balance for the shawarma. I really wanted pickles, but likely wouldn't order them as an entire side.

Falafel balls are fragrant with spices, crunchy on the outside, and steamy and soft on the inside. Every bite brings out something new in your food. These guys make excellent hummus. It's silky smooth with a creamy taste. Another neat bonus is that they have all kinds of non alcoholic beverages in the cooler for you to try with your meal. These aren't your typical American soda. They're imported, and come in little glass bottles. I tried the apple soda, and it was delightful. Space is huge, and has plenty of seating, but it's never crowded so if you come with a bunch of friends, you'll likely have plenty of space to sit down.
