I chose Zakia for my birthday dinner, and had the best possible experience. The hostess was lovely, as was our waitress Helen. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, warm, inviting and calming. We were sat out on the covered patio section, with the lovely wisteria above us and a water feature behind our table. We chose to have the Spring Tasting menu, which includes a mezze platter to start with bread, your choice of entree and a dessert platter. I chose the Kafta and my husband chose the chicken shawarma. The entrees come with a generous side of Lebanese rice. We also ordered the City of Salt cocktail and a mocktail. Starting with the drinks, they were tart, tasty and refreshing. Everything was great, but the mezze platter was the highlight. The babaganoush was the best I've ever had. It had a deep, smoky flavor and was garnished with pomegranate seeds which provided such a great burst of sweet to balance out the savory. The stuffed grape leaves and falafel were also standouts. We also ordered the pickle plate because it was calling to us and what a great idea that was! The flavors here are very intense and might not be for everyone. But if you really like pickles you should give them a try. The pickled beets were our favorite. Our entrees continued the same theme of being positively packed with great flavors. The harissa and toum complimented the meats very well. And the grilled vegetables and rice rounded everything out perfectly. The baklava on the dessert platter was also the standout. This is not the baklava you'd buy at the grocery store and was the perfect end to our meal. It's not overly sweet and is balanced with a slight savory flavor, and the texture was fantastic. There was a depth of flavor in everything that shows care and consideration while crafting the menu at Zakia. You can also see this care in the decor and ambience. I will absolutely come back again in the future and would happily recommend Zakia. I would lastly like to thank our waitress Helen in particular for making our experience so lovely. She was so friendly and helpful. I couldn't have asked for a nicer night. Everyone at Zakia made my birthday a memorable one. read more

Saw DJ Pedram was playing Friday night, and he always puts on a great set, so I figured I'd treat myself to a date night there and set up at the bar for the World Cup viewing too. Parking is validated in the garage below the restaurant. Wait until you get to the hostess stand to scan their QR code for validation, not the purple ones posted in the garage. I got the lychee drink and while it was good, the pea flower overwhelms the lychee so you can't really taste it. I got the spinach cheese rolls which paired really well with the apricot jam. The jam cuts through the richness of the cheese for great balance. For my entree, I got the kafta kebab which comes with a grilled vegetable skewer and Lebanese rice as well as a red hot sauce and a garlic toum like sauce. It was all so delicious and entrees come with free, fresh baked pita which is so light. The portion was very filling. I enjoyed myself, and would come back. read more

Honestly really disappointed. I came with both of my parents on a Thursday for dinner (they have both been before multiple times). They have raved to me about Zakia and have wanted to take me here for so long. We were all really excited. The inside is very pretty. Tall ceilings, columns, a pretty floral-ceiling patio... food is alright too. Had the service not been atrocious I would have given them 3 or 4 stars. First off, when we arrived they asked us where we would prefer to sit given the restaurant was largely empty. While we were waiting for my dad we sat at a table, but when he came back and wanted to change tables they were all of a sudden adamant that we couldn't. We eventually were able to switch tables. This isn't a huge deal on its own. Our waitress's attitude was horrible. She seemed indifferent to our needs and requests. Courses took longer than they should and her overall demeanor was incredibly rude. She was reluctant to give us new plates and silverware between courses and didn't talk much in general. When she did she was rather short. Additionally, other workers came to check to see how we were enjoying things immediately after the food had been set down and we had obviously not even tasted the food yet... I think our waitress could tell we weren't happy. At the end of the meal she tacked on an automatic 20% tip probably thinking we wouldn't notice. We thought this was very strange... I understand an automatic tip for a large party of 6+ or even 5. But we were a party of 4. We asked her if this was standard and she said no but that they sometimes do it for holidays or weekends...? We came on a Thursday. I pointed this out and she didn't say anything and just brought a new check without the automatic tip applied. What in the world? As for the food, we tried the trio of dips, brussel sprouts, spinach cheese rolls, pickle plate, lamb shank, salmon, filet mignon kebab, and the sticky toffee pudding. Dessert was great! So were the appetizers and sides (brussels and pickles). I really liked the pickled turnips. I also enjoyed the salmon. I felt like it was flavorful enough from the glaze alone and didn't need the red sauce or the crunchy hazelnut topping. Thankfully, we had them though as the filet and lamb were lacking in flavor but were saved by the salmon's topping which we had requested on the side due to my brother's hazelnut allergy. Filet and lamb were soft but really lacking flavor. Overall, I would not recommend and will not be returning. I would recommend skipping Zakia and going to Delbar instead. read more

Stunning Decor & Fresh, Flavorful Flavors I visited for a girls' night and we had a wonderful experience. The ambiance is stunning--featuring a flower-covered ceiling, a beautiful bar, and plenty of seating. The service was excellent, and the drinks were a major highlight; both the cocktails and mocktails were impressive, especially the Sunset in Tyre and the Habibi Colada. The food was incredibly fresh and vibrant. We started with the quail, whipped feta, and shrimp, followed by the brussel sprouts, batata harra, and a mixed platter. While everything was delicious, the quail, brussel sprouts, lamb, and Lebanese rice were the true standouts. Highly recommend for a stylish night out! read more

Zakia is that girl in Buckhead right now! If you're craving elevated Lebanese cuisine with a chic vibe, put this on your list. The falafel? Perfectly crispy and seasoned. The salmon was cooked just right! Very flavorful, tender, and beautifully plated. And don't skip out on the Brussels sprouts, easily one of my favorite bites of the night. Bonus points for the hibiscus mocktail, which was refreshing, well-balanced, and the perfect way to kick off Dry January without sacrificing flavor or fun. Great food, beautiful ambiance, and a menu that delivers across the board. Ideal for date night, girls' night, or a solo dinner when you want to feel a little elevated. I'll definitely be back read more

Came here for a birthday. Inside it's very pretty and fancy. The servers were great and was very accommodating. For foods, I ordered the Lamb Shank which was braised in red wine. The red wine was very faint, and I think I just had a bad cut of the shank as it was pretty lean, so it was lacking that flavor along with the juice that usually comes from a shank. It came on top of some grains which I thought was very tasty. I did get to try other dishes as well, such as the lamb chops. Those were awesome and I would definitely recommend to get that. The Tabbouleh was also good, so if you're trying to find a good one, Zakia has it. Also another dish I thought was worth thinking about getting was the Kafka kebab. It was great as well and it was full of flavor. That paired with like a rice or something saucy would be perfect. Tabbouleh perhaps? Otherwise, parking is validated for 3 hours if you come and eat here which was appreciated. They do have valet, but parking in the garage and just going up the stairs was easy enough. They did have a small treat for the birthday guest, which I appreciated. Overall, the meal was great and it the vibes were great. I would recommend the lamb chops if you are trying to decide what to get. read more

The food was excellent and the service was excellent. My ranking is so low because of the automatic tip for 20% added to my bill. The 20% service charge was added at the bar so. So you buy a drink for $10 now you're paying $12 which is ridiculous. It was also added to our final bill for a party of 4 as well. I understand they're trying to cover for people that leave without paying a tip, but this is absolutely ridiculous. I've been to many high-end restaurants in the city of Atlanta. I've been to Bones, Chops, Marcel and Rathbuns Steak. Many establishments are more expensive than this place and they don't add a 20% automatic gratuity service charge. I always leave 20% if the service is good. Tipping has become out of hand. I will not be back. read more

Amazing food and service. We were there as a group and starting from the hostess desk the welcome was terrific. It's a large restaurant with a very convenient valet parking. Good was amazing, fresh baked bread witha nice variety of dips Chickpea Hummus, Baba Ghanoush, Labneh and Hazelnut Muhamarra. My favorites were the Baba Ghanoush and Muhamarra even though it's difficult to have favorites. Great variety of Hot Mezze which started with Grape Leaves stuffed with lamb, rice, tomato and Kafta Kebab, Chicken Tawook Kebab and Grilled Salmon I had not tasted Lebanese rice before and with almonds and vermicelli it was a unusual new experience. The vegetarians loved crispy Brussels Sprouts. Service was excellent. Water glasses filled exceptionally quickly. A very memorable experience. read more

What a delightful evening at Zakia to celebrate my birthday . My wife and I went at 8:30, and there's valet available. There's also three-hour free parking in the deck below the restaurant. First off, the interior is well-designed, with columns located throughout, giving it a chic look! I wish I had taken pictures to show you. But let's get to the "meat" of it all! I went during Buckhead Restaurant Week, which had an amazing set menu -- a sampler, so to speak, of their offerings. This included chickpea hummus, baba ganoush, labneh, spinach and cheese rolls, grape leaves, and falafel. The entrée I selected featured chicken and Wagyu steak kabobs. The sides included cucumber salad, Lebanese rice, and harissa. Overall, I thought the selection of appetizers was great. I think the star of the show was the falafel -- it was moist and full of flavor. Probably one of the better falafels I've had here. As for the chicken kabob, I thought it was well-seasoned and flavorful. However, the Wagyu kabob might be a different story. I know it's Wagyu, but to be honest, I couldn't really tell the difference between that and a regular USDA steak. Additionally, there was some seasoning on top that wasn't really my favorite. Overall, I'd give this place a 4/5. I thought the flavors were solid, but there's just so much other Middle Eastern competition around Atlanta that I wouldn't rank this as the best of the best. That said, I'd still come back for a nice evening out. read more

My first Atlanta food stop set the bar HIGH. @zakiarestaurant -- a Lebanese restaurant in Buckhead -- and y'all... this was my first time trying Lebanese cuisine, and I was genuinely impressed. But let's talk about the real showstopper: the dessert. A deconstructed baklava that I literally cannot stop thinking about. The pistachio gelato? Insane. The textures, the balance, the flavors... everything worked together so beautifully that I'm convinced this dessert lives rent-free in my mind now. I honestly don't know who could duplicate it. If this was my introduction to Lebanese food, consider me converted. Atlanta, you did not disappoint read more

This is one of the prettiest restaurants in Atlanta and their food matches the vibes set. I went for my fiancée's birthday dinner and we shared a bunch of mezze and mains which were all amazing. I think the standout was the honey harissa salmon. The service was also very good. She made sure the pacing of courses was good and gave us extra time when we were full after the mezze. We ended the meal with the Turkish martini which was a combo of espresso martini and chai. It is my new favorite espresso martini in Atlanta. I would recommend going to zakia for any occasion you have. They have something for everyone! read more

Affordable valet, so just pull up and get out so you can make your reservation on time! (it's one of those Atl places). We were told there was a short wait to sit in the flower room, which was ok and worth it. Very beautiful space to dine in, with indoor fountain flowing behind the table. our server was especially sweet and attentive (short, fare skinned with facial piercings). We started with super light and fluffy pita with olive oil, grape leaves, octopus and lentil soup. The soup seemed like the chef was playing it safe, I would have liked a little more mediterranean seasonings but it was still really good (once i added squeeze of lemon). Grape leaves were about some of the best I have ever eaten, highly recommend. The octopus was the right level of tenderness BUT overly charred. smoke city in your mouth. moving on to the branzino served with rice. 8 out of 10. flavor, crisp, perfect deboning, just lightlyyyyyy too much charred taste. rice was pretty good, bland but executed well with the vermicilli type grains we were given a complimentary dessert plate for pir celebration and it included the most decadent chocolate in all of the southeast. Overall a great choice for dinner if you want to step out but not break the bank. Extremely reasonable pricing. read more

An amazing, unique spot in Buckhead. The restaurant features Lebanese cuisine, so you get a different experience from the famous Persian restaurants around the town. The restaurant was gorgeously decorated, featuring huge classical stone columns, crystal lights and a spacious dining area. The food was different from most Middle Eastern restaurants in Atlanta and tasted amazing. The most interesting dish I tried was the quail. Not only was quail rarely seen in restaurants nearby, but the sour-sweet sauce was unforgettable. For entree I tried the lamb shank. Meat was tender and fresh, and the Jerusalem artichokes tasted juicy and crispy (it's very different from artichokes!). Also, do not miss their seasonally changing vegetable sides! Currently they are serving the grilled asparagus with Meyer lemon labneh. The yogurt had some lemon zest and toasted pumpkin seeds which paired well with the asparagus. Previously they had e.g. roasted whole broccoli; it was also good. While they change the sides, they do not change most of the items on the menu. It would be more exciting if they offer more seasonal dishes! The staff were friendly and generous. Plus the restaurant was not packed with people so you should get your food in a reasonable amount of time. read more

The food is fantastic! The ambiance is fancier than I would've expected but lovely all the same. I've had a few of the kabobs and think that the kafta is the best, surprisingly beating out the filet kabob. Also, the lamb shank was absolutely delicious. I think that will be my order moving forward. As for the service, I loved meeting Ryan, Zakias grandson, who educated us on the menu. And Til and Jack are both great bartenders. 10/10 stars! read more

Zakia Modern Lebanese - Lamb shank at the bar. - Wine Bars Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I left Zakia thinking it was a great meal and planning on giving 4 stars since I can't give 4.5, but I realized I was being unfair. This was a great meal and the service and ambiance are fantastic. My issue is I went boring with my entree. They had a delicious sounding honey and harissa salmon and another seafood dish-snapper or maybe bronzino, that also looked great. However, I wasn't feeling adventurous so I stuck with the chicken kabob. Don't get me wrong-the chicken was moist and flavorful and terrific and the grilled veggies were on point. Even the rice had flavors to it that made me wish I could make rice that awesome. It was an easy 5 stars kabob. But it was just a kabob. Chicken and grilled veggies. Obviously, I can't take anything away from the restaurant because I was being boring, and the dish itself was great. So yeah, my initial reaction wasn't fair-this was 5 stars. And I didn't even touch on the trumpet mushroom hummus, which was to die for, or our delicious drinks-I forget what mine was called but it was a mescal cocktail. Perfect. They even brought out a big plate of veggies for me so I could enjoy the hummus gluten free, and their rice, which typically had gluten, they could adjust for me. This is an awesome restaurant and I will be back to try something more interesting. Again though, if you're not used to Mediterranean food or are nervous about what to order, or if you're just a boring person, order the kabobs. They were perfect. read more

We made a same day reservation and dined at Zakia on a Saturday night. It's stunning inside the restaurant, very cozy and intimate for dinner. Our server was very warm and welcoming and took the time to explain the menu and the dishes, including the specials of the day. We tried the hummus of the day which was really delicious. We also got two cocktails, the lychee and the mint condition. Both tasted good, but the alcohol was very light/minimal. The branzino and steak/vegetable kabobs were good. Baklava was a new dish for us to try. Would definitely return. read more

I've spent a lot of time in Dubai, so Lebanese food is one of my favorites! For me, Middle Eastern spots are defined by their apps: hummus, eggplant, sabzi, and of course the pita. Zakia delivers on that front, fresh, flavorful, and totally satisfying. The mains are also solid, but the rice fell short for me. It's good, just not on the same level as Delbar or Rumi's. So overall, I like Zakia, I just don't love it. For me, it's a great pick for restaurant week, but my regular cravings will take me back to my other Middle Eastern go-tos in town. read more

I'm Lebanese. The food is great, service is amazing. The salmon was heavenly, wanted to take that sauce home. The cauliflower was good but does get overwhelming after a while so I would only order it if you're in a large party with many people eating smaller portions of it. Also if you don't like tahini, definitely not the appetizer for you. I love tahini so I really enjoyed. Definitely skip dessert, it was mid. I think they could definitely redo their baklava dessert, it was a bit disappointing :( read more

I will say, the day I went, parking was not good. The Valet wasn't open for us because there were too many cars so we had to park at one of the parking decks. We had a reservation, but there still might be a small wait for your table. The server was so kind and the appetizers were SO GOOD. I honestly would come here and order a bunch of apps and drink their drinks. The whipped feta was SO tasty and I could eat a tub of it. I got the filet mignon kebab was fine but honestly I've had it better elsewhere. But this is a good date spot or just a girl's night :) read more

Zakia is an upscale Lebanese restaurant in Buckhead. Parking is a bit hard to find as the public garage is small, but the valet was very affordable. The interior is beautifully decorated and is perfect for a date night. Service was pretty good! Our server was knowledgable about everything on the menu. We ordered the Espresso Martini, Pearl of Saida, Spinach Cheese Rolls, Batata Harra, Kafta Kebab, and Chicken Tawook Kebab. My boyfriend really liked his Espresso Martini while I enjoyed the fruity flavor of the Pearl of Saida. We were given a complementary dish which was some flat bread (?) and olive oil at the beginning... it tasted alright, not much flavor. As for the side dishes, the Spinach Cheese Rolls tasted like an eggroll stuffed with cheese, but the apricot jam that it came with gave it an extra pizzaz. I really liked the Batata Harra, which were thinly sliced fried potato layers on top of each other with a harissa paste. Really tasty! My boyfriend liked the Kafta Kebab. My Chicken Tawook Kebab was good. The meat was juicy and tender, but I wish there was a more flavor? Both of the entrees came with a side of Lebanese Rice which I did not like. There were almonds inside the rice and it just tasted really sweet, not what I am used to eating at Middle Eastern restaurants. I was also hopeful that we would get free dessert as we were celebrating our anniversary, but I think our server forgot. Overall, I think that Zakia is a solid choice for Middle Eastern food, although I have had better elsewhere. read more

Went to Zakia for the first time for a girl's night on a Saturday night. The ambiance and decoration was really beautiful with the green velvet seats, chandeliers, and floral ceiling. The staff were very nice and the food was good. They do offer valet for $5 standard and $20 for premium (aka close range parking). However on weekends, it jumps up to $20 flat rate fee after 9PM. The parking garage directly below Zakia is one of the smallest and worst garages. The spaces are VERY limited, everywhere is a dead end since there is only 1 way in and out, and the spaces are very tight. If you can, I would recommend backing into the space so it's easier to get out. It is a bit on the pricier side and the cocktails are $16 each. They serve fresh pita bread which is super yummy and goes well with a lot of the meze plates. The hummus was good and creamy but did have a little too much olive oil. I think the lamb ragu hummus would've been a lot tastier. The octopus was also very good. It came with a yogurt lemon labneh that paired very well together. \ The rest of the food that our table ordered looked and smelled delicious, as well. It's a perfect place for a girl's night or date night out. read more

Wow, maybe the best Lebanese food we have ever had. Again, we ate with our foodie friends and Zakia was a winner. We arrived and parking in the garage was validated by the hostess for two hours. As we entered we were greeted and seated. The restaurant is huge and beautiful. As always, we ordered a lot of different things and are ranked below...sorry Tabouleh. 1. Fried Kibbeh - EXCELLENT, I would put it above the kibbeh that I make. We all could have had a table of Kibbeh and been very happy. Rating 10/5 2. Cheese Rolls - stuffed with feta, mozzarella, and spinach. Served with apricot jam. These were addicting and I thought we were going to fight for them. 3. Lebanese Fries - Oh, My. These were addicting. We just kept eating. The best seasoned fries any of us have ever had. Rating 5/5 4. Kafta Kabab - excellent. Mixture of beef and lamb, mixed with a bit of parsley and onion. Grilled to perfection. Still juicy. Served with the same beautiful veggies as the chicken. Rating 5/5 5. Labneh - it was divine. Loved the mint oil and the fresh mint leaf just added to its beauty. Rating 5/5 6. Hummus - some of the best. It was topped with toasted chickpeas which everyone fought for! Ratinng 5/5 7. Warm Pita served with an olive oil and zaatar dip (complementary). The puffy pita arrived warm and light. The zaatar dip had the right amount of zaatar to olive oil. Rating 5/5 8. Baba Ghanoush - smoked eggplant with a hint of tahini and lemon. Nice touch with it being garnished with pomegranate seeds. 9. Lebanese Rice - served with both of the entree dishes was excellent. One bowl was finished the other came home. Rating 5/5 10. Complimentary dessert tastes for the table as we were celebrating two big birthdays. Mini carrot cake or zucchini cake(?), baklava, and a chocolate bite. They were tasty and we were really glad they were small because we barely had room. Rating 5/5 11. Chicken Kabab - very good but could have used some type of sauce as it was a tad on the dry side. Grilled veggies that were served were also very good and pretty with the colors of the yellow squash, the green zucchini, red and yellow peppers, and the good old white onion. Rating 4/5 12.Tabouleh - this might have been the weak link of the feast. It was missing some depth. Maybe it hadn't been marinated long enough. Would get it again. Rating 3/5 All of the food was fantastic. Service was just as good as the food. The atmosphere is really, really nice. And we agreed that we will definitely return. Highly recommend. And also recommend making a reservation in advance. read more

Zakia is amazing, and I am not normally a fan of Lebanese style food. Zakia is located at the corner of Lenox Rd and Piedmont. There is a parking deck below, and the restaurant will validate parking up to three hours. There is also a valet option for $5 plus tip. I have been three times now. Once for just drinks at the bar, and twice for dinner. I liked it before, but after dinner last night (Christmas Eve 2025), I now rank it as one of my favorites in Atlanta. The decor of the space is amazing. Pretty fancy with crystal chandeliers and Corinthian columns. It's normally pretty busy so make a reservation. Each time we have been, the service is pleasant, professional and timely. Our waitress on Christmas Eve, Shiloh, was great. She knows the menu well and described everything exquisitely. After hearing her description of the quail appetizer, we tried it. And boy am I glad we did. It was awesome. My wife and I both got the lamb chops. Yep, $59, but worth every penny. Best lamb chops I have ever had without a doubt. The seasoning was perfect and the date reduction is a perfect addition. The rice served with it is also perfect. It's not a budget friendly dinner. This is a special occasion type place. Highly recommend you add it to your bucket list. read more

#700. Zakia has the most scrumptious Mediterranean food and elevated dining experience in ATL. My husband booked a reservation for our wedding anniversary and Zakia met the moment. Cathedral ceilings, gold plated trims, posh dining furnishings, and attentive service all set the stage for the delicious food they serve. This makes it the perfect celebration spot for birthdays, anniversaries, business dinners, or date night to *impress.* Hummus with lion mane - if youre not on the mushroom trend then youre not a real foodie lol ;-) jk! Definitely get 1 of the Hummus options bc it was the best Hummus of my life. Cauliflower- best Cauliflower dish I've ever had anywhere in the US or in any country. You have to try it. Falafel- best I've ever had and I've ordered A LOT of Falafel in my life! Falafel is my go to at any Greek or Mediterranean restaurant and this one surpassed every one I've ever eaten. Why? (1) Spice profile. The spices are balanced and take your tongue by surprised. Never had any Falafel this flavorful. (2) Outside crispy with moist interior. It was not dripping in oil and the texture of the inside was perfect. Absolutely addicting. If you have a friend/partner/family member who shies away from "exotic" food - tell them its Mediterranean (not Lebonese lol) bc they do offer very approachable entrees like chicken kabobs that literally any one can eat. read more

Zakia was a great time for us. We sat at the bar & our bartender Zeb was amazing, hilarious & attentive! We tried several different drinks with him that he suggested, and they were all delicious! The pomegranate cocktail is so flavorful I ended up having two of those! He recommended for us to also try their brussels sprouts and fried green tomato hummus, both were very delicious and we will definitely be coming back for those. The inside is cute and you should definitely dress up when you go here as it is more of a business casual type setting, this place is cute for a date night or a girls night out. read more

I was looking forward to the lamb burger from their website, but when I arrived, it was no longer on the menu. I ordered the smash burger which they said replaced it. It was both pink and dry, clearly a new recipe without much testing. It wasn't gross, but it wasn't delicious. It took 23 minutes to receive my food which was uncomfortably long. The waiter was kind and nice. When my bill came, it was clearly incorrect and no itemized receipt was provided. I spoke to an employee and asked them to take care of it, I went to the bathroom. When I came back, the GM was at the computer, the other employee told me there was some system mistake and asked me to wait. The GM said nothing to me. They were rude, didn't acknowledge I existed after, no addressing the ten minutes I sat there and waited for them to fix it. Nothing comped, no invitation to try their restaurant again. No apology for their error. Nothing. I look forward to never, ever subjecting myself to them again. I pity the waiter and hope he finds a better place to work. read more

The inside of this restaurant was pretty cool! I'd say this isn't a kid friendly restaurant, but the entire wait staff was so kind and accommodating. Shout out to the waiter who kept filling my toddlers sippy cup and making sure she always had bread lol We had the plain hummus, whipped feta, and grilled octopus to start off. I wish we had gotten the specialty hummus, because the plain one was, well, plain hummus. The whipped feta was scarfed down by the toddler, but all of us got to try it and we loved it. The grilled octopus came with a carrot salad and the salad was an 11/10. The grilled octopus was good enough that the toddler tried it. We would order it again. Main course we got the mixed grill and the only thing bad we had to say about it was that the lady's was a little salty, but not so bad that we didn't eat it all and want more lol The lamb chops had pomegranate on them. They're were great. The chicken had a sweet aftertaste and was perfectly cooked. All the veggies on the plate were delicious. An assortment of squash, zucchini, onions, different kinds of peppers, salad etc I wish we had gotten the fish, lamb hummus, and drinks for the table, but we had already had so much food that we couldn't finish it all. read more

This is one of the most beautiful restaurants I've ever been to. Me and my family came out to celebrate my wife birthday weekend. The food is delicious, the decor very romantic and they also accommodated our party of 6. Only reason why I can't give all 5 stars is the waitress serving the party next to us, dropped a bottle on the floor by accident of course however pieces of glass got into one of my guest hair. The waitress apologized however no management acknowledgment was given. I understand accidents happen however I was expecting some type of acknowledgment from the managing staff. The way I view restaurants is I spend my money there I expect top tier service. This incident falls under service. read more
