Located conveniently on Maiden Lane, this restaurant prides itself on serving authentic dishes that balance robust flavors with attentive preparation.

The restaurant’s menu showcases several standout items that deserve particular attention.

First time there. The food was outstanding, absolutely delicious. We were there during prime dinner time and the place was dead though, I wonder why???? The service was very prompt but absolutely zero personality, no personality is the only reason for 3 stars on service. The atmosphere was good but because it was so slow and quiet I gave it 4 stars in that department. I can’t stress enough how good the food was though!!!

The food was authentic, delicious, and beautiful. We ordered the greek salad, beef gyros wrap, and the lamb and beef gyros platter and everything was amazing

This was a nice restaurant. It was empty, so the lack of urgency to seat us was a bit confusing. Once the alarm of their first customer of the day settled down we actually enjoyed the food once it came. We did however also order tea in addition to our cokes but I guess that was overlooked. We had to send the baba ghanoush back to be warmed up because there were still chunks of ice in it. The flavor was good though.

Only improvements would be to give better descriptions of each item and what's included with each item or meal. The food was outstanding whether Mediterranean or more American selections. The service was fantastic and friendly. I loved the variety on the menu, there were enough options to please the palates of all five of us. I look forward to ordering from here again.

Food tastes fresh and is consistently amazing. Service is good. Place is fairly clean. I will say... the prices are high for the portion, but you can get some great deals on Uber eats. And this place is sometimes open till 2/3 am which is very rare to find. Considering everything, great place!! Would recommend, especially for college students!!

Rona is the momma you need in your life! Her restaurant is amazing and the food is incredible!!! Her chef, Simon, is such a gifted cook. As soon as you walk in, Rona greets you with a big smile and a warm heart that makes you feel like part of her family. She will chat with you while you wait for your food. It’s a must if you’re in the area. We will be back every time we are in town!!

I cannot stress enough how much you need one of these curry burgers in your life. It was so tender and delicious! It was strange going to a kebab house and not getting kebab for the first time, but that burger sounded too good to pass up. And the briyani wrap was piping hot and full of flavorful rice, veggies, and chicken. Not pictured, the veggie samosas which were eaten so fast. Cute, clean dining room, with cordial welcoming service. We'll be back!

My sisters and I had the most incredible platter here that came with chicken and beef kabobs, lamb chops, samosas, falafel, hummus, tzatziki, pita, rice & grilled veggies! From the moment we walked in, the owner Rona made us feel right at home. It was the perfect, cozy experience we were hoping for. Loved seeing chef Simon’s passion for the food he makes. I highly recommend coming for a warm, welcoming and delicious experience!
