Out of town visitor and sweet family friends took me to dinner here! We explored many of the menu options but our favorites were the Moroccan spiced broccoli texture and crisp was perfect with the sauce served with it, and Crispy falafel was my favorite dish !Roasted beets & Lebna was also good. We also ordered the potato gnocchi but didn’t get to try it because I filled up on the other dishes that arrived first.Cute vibey atmosphere! Kind service.
Got the piri piri chicken. Very tasty, large serving. Baklava for desert. Extremely sweet, definitely a sharing dish

Hands down my favorite place in all of Cincinnati. Food is fantastic. Service is over the top. Baklava is a must. Espresso Martini is impeccable! I love this restaurant!

Highly recommend! Food and drinks were incredible, presented beautifully with amazing flavor. We had the Crispy Falafel, Potato Gnocchi, Short Rib, and finished with the Ricotta & Honey! All dishes were amazing but the Crispy Falafel and Ricotta & Honey were our favorites. Our waiter, Blair, was top notch! Blair gave us background on the menu and restaurant, made recommendations for ordering, and had the most welcoming and kind demeanor. Even provided directions to the place we were headed next! We will be back, can't wait to try more of their menu!

Hands down the best lamb I've ever eaten.Lamb Spaghetti, sounds weird, but I'll never eat anything as amazing as that again.Just, mmmpphhh.Be prepared, food comes out when it is finished, not at the same time!I like this idea, but if you're not aware, it'll catch you off guard.Cocktails were just as amazing as the food.THE HUMMUS was so delightful it was almost dessert-like with its creaminess and taste.I've never had Turkish coffee but I did try my date's - absolutely delicious.Service was 100% on-point. His name might have been Gabe/Gabriel? Amazing service.Price reflects the quality you receive here - it'll be about $100+ for two if you get cocktails.Cannot emphasize how blown away I am with this establishment.Tough to find, not well labeled/branded, but once you know the 3 symbols they promote, you'll never miss the building again.

Genuinely one of the best meals I have ever had in Cincinnati -- I took my two picky eater parents here knowing it would be slightly out of their comfort zones and they were blown away as well. It was their first ever time trying hummus! Each course was phenomenal in its own right, the service was exceptional...I could go on and on. My dad and I loved the current fish special (shown here) so much he said he would choose that as his dying meal if he could. Sharing plates together makes for a warmer and more memorable dining experience. Can't wait to come back.

I was pretty disappointed especially after arriving with high hopes since this place came recommended by a fellow foodie. The food was in my opinion hit or miss, which I think was also a product of what we ordered (a lot of vegetables, it felt like salad after salad). The broccolini tasted excellent, though it was a little too crispy for me. There's not much the restaurant can do to fix ordering the wrong mix of plates. The balkava was clearly homemade and one of the best I have had in my life. One of the drinks tasted a little watered down though the other was amazing. Our waiter was excellent, friendly, and very good at his job.What stood out as the highlight of the night, unfortunately, was the surprise 3% credit card charge noted only at the bottom of the final bill. It was nowhere on the menu, the website, nor posted at the door. I don't typically carry $100+ in cash around with me, and to get surprised like this at the end of the meal was disappointing. It felt sleezy and a money grab for the owners. We brought it to the attention of our waiter who called the manager over. She understood the disappointment but did nothing to fix it. Please keep that in mind when you see a response below asking me to bring it to the attention of the manager/owner. We did and it was not resolved. For the price vs the food and experience you get, there are other places we would rather take our business.Vegetarian options: At least half of the options are vegetarian friendly
If I could give it 6 stars I would; perfect dining experience. The food is phenomenal, cocktails are outstanding, atmosphere is charming, and the service is perfect. A perfect date night spot. The food is served in a shareable size, so each item can typically be split by two people, it takes roughly 3-4 items to satisfy a person; this makes for a fun dining experience mixing and matching the different dining options. Pictured are Bay Scallops and Cashew Shortrib. Ricotta and Honey is a MUST TRY; no picture because I couldn’t resist eating it!!Parking: Mercer Parking Garage is one block to the north.

I had high expectations for this place. The famous octopus dish was a little too salty for our liking. Also, the shortrib was tough and chewy, and we didn't enjoy it. However, the Baklava was really delicious.Other than the food, the service was ok. We would have felt cozier if the servers smiled a little. Given that it is a fine dining place, I was surprised to find one of our plates chipped on the side.Also, there's an additional 3% charge for card transactions.
