Had dinner here with my man last night before a concert at Blues Alley and man, were my expectations blown. From the complimentary bread and olive oil to Hummus, Red lentil soup, and the Chicken Shish Kebab. Everything was delicious and affordable. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, a bit noisy but you still can talk without feeling like you're yelling at each other. Definitely a favorite of mine. Can't wait to come back and eat more.
