I ordered fried cauliflower, a kofta sandwich, and a piece of baklava with a drink. The fried cauliflower is a must have. It was served hot and fresh, and was cooked perfectly--the tops were crisp, and the stems were tender, with a delicious yogurt sauce. Yum yum yum.

The kofta sandwich was just OK. The pita and dressings were served cold with a very hot kofta, which was interesting but made the pita seem a bit stale. A kofta seems to me like kind of a mediterranean hot dog, shaped that way with ground beef, onions, and spices--but don't take that metaphor too far, it doesn't taste like a hot dog at all. It was good but didn't floor me. Overall fine, I ate it and was satisfied.
I finished with the baklava and we're back to delicious. The outside layers were flaky and crunchy just like you'd expect, deliciously sweet with a perfect hint of cardamom. Absolutely worth having as a finish or as a snack on its own.
The restaurant has a very unique atmosphere, middle eastern decorative art on the walls (no pictures), and some nice chandeliers. It wouldn't be fair to judge the bathroom since there was an obviously recent plumbing issue. If you don't think you like Mediterranean food this might be a good place to try, as the flavors are not super strong, making it accessible for a beginning palate. I was charmed and will go back.
