    I came here to celebrate my birthday, and while the food was genuinely good, the overall experience was disappointing. From the moment we sat down, we felt rushed — not exactly the vibe you want for a special occasion. The food was genuinely good — well-prepared and flavorful — but unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. From the moment we arrived, we felt rushed. Despite having a 9:00pm reservation, it was clear the staff was already winding down for the night. If the last order is truly at 9:30pm, the restaurant really shouldn’t be taking 9:00pm reservations. It doesn’t give diners enough time to enjoy their meal without feeling like they're an inconvenience. A little more consideration for the guest experience would go a long way.

    We ordered the set menu for $65 per person. There was plenty of food overall, but for what it was, I felt the price was too high. Over $400 for a family of five for just good Mediterranean felt like a lot - and we didn’t even order any drinks. I wouldn’t have been bothered as much, but the DJ was so loud, it also impacted our experience. (Not sure why this restaurant needs a DJ on a Monday night.) The ambience would have been perfect if we could have talked to each other instead of straining to speak and hear. The highlight was the service. It was fast and efficient - very well run.

    It would be great to have more vegan options. It’s odd that falafels aren’t on the menu at a middle eastern restaurant. Otherwise a really positive experience
    Azhar Kitchen + BarResponded on April 14, 2025
    Hi Lily, thank you so much for joining us and leaving us your valuable feedback! We do have falafel on the menu during brunch and on our Ultimate dinner for Two menu. Hoping to host you again soon so you can give it a try!
