The things these people can do with vegetables make vegetarianism seem achievable. The meat cold salads are a waste of time with a friend going to get the expanded vegetable combination and admire their work. Vibe wise, this place somehow creates to be a quiet dining room (front), a lively bar with cheap drinks (back) and a punk hookah lounge (back). Something for the whole family.

I really enjoyed my experience, but it could have been better. Cocktail was delicious and hookah was set up perfectly. I loved that the air filtered nicely in the building so the hookah smoke wasn’t filling up the room. BUT while the food was delicious, portions were Very small. I wanted lamb, but they didn’t have any and apparently never do. Maybe take it off the menu? The music was good, but the DJ did have it shockingly loud for the first few songs. And service was slow for them to not have many customers in at that time.

The food was absolutely delicious. Packed with so much flavor. I am definitely coming back. I had the lentils, okra, and spicy beef and all three were amazing. The injira bread was spectacular. We came on a Friday night and there was karaoke and we all did a song. Overall a blast!
