The design of the place is outdated not my preference and the service wasn’t that good. 1 server will be working for all the table so things will take a minute when I was there. The food is really good

We visited this place about a year ago and had a great experience, which is why we decided to come back yesterday with a friend who was visiting. Unfortunately, this time it was extremely disappointing. In total we waited about two hours. My friends arrived an hour before me and were told it would be “a few minutes.” When I arrived and we asked again, we were told “three minutes,” but those three minutes turned into about forty minutes. During the last 20 minutes we saw two tables become available, yet people who were behind us in line were seated first, and some guests were even allowed to skip the line. The hallway was packed with around 25 people waiting, and the whole situation was very disorganized. If the wait is long, it would be much better to create a waiting list and tell guests approximately how long they need to wait. In the end we left after two hours and went to Kenzo, where we actually had a great evening. Unfortunately, this experience completely ruined our plans to spend the evening here.

I am on a business trip, from Vancouver. Did not know the restaurant closes at 7 pm, Rahman was gracious enough to serve me for my iftar (breaking of fast). It was a sumptuous dinner, staring with a date to salad to the main course. Nine delicious items. I will visit them for yet another break of fast in a couple of days. I wish they open a location in Vancouver.

Stylish Levanti vibes, cozy environment, excellent service, generous proportion. Price with this size of proportion could be fair. Finally I am able to try Booza, really with great subtle scent while mixed with rich flavor of everything, including Halva. Lentils soup is enough for 2 people, yellow lentils, but not that creamy( compared to the Turkish yellow one). Shish Tawk is dry and lean like what I prefer. Fatoush salad is light in salt while rich in sour taste with mélasee I guess. Service is friendly and efficient, they are really nice and sweet, we shared interest chats. Friday evening there will be concert but it needs reservations in advance and extra payments for enjoying the music, Saturday night there will be belly dancer around.

Too loud music and on google it says they close at 1 am but when they saw us visible Muslims with a Hijab they denied us service and said they are closed at 11:40 pm?? so they closed an hour and 20 mins before the time they listed on google. Which is weird because the waitress was just serving people when she told us they are closed. I dont recommend muslims to go there.
