The Scene – Awash in warm colors and authentic touches, an upbeat atmosphere fills this popular South End spot (and the patio, when weather permits its use). An eclectic mix fills the airy bar for one of Boston's most unusual drink menus. Nearly 100 wines are on offer, including about 30 by the glass. – – The Food – The user-friendly, predominantly Middle Eastern menu satisfies, from light snacks to heavy meals. Most diners start with a selection of hot and cold mezze (appetizers); spinach-cheese dumplings, hummus and tabouleh do not disappoint. Another excellent…

Great space & Entertainment, Poor Food, Poor Service

by LoveCityLife

Food: below average, burned and tasteless. A good advice: stick to the appetizers if you were to eat anything there.

Service: poor, slow and below average. Manager/Owner has no people or PR skills, he does not bother himself to greet or acknowledge his customers.

Place: is Great, the room is beautiful, decorated with gorgeous carpets and exotic lamps. The way they have the bar and the dining room separated is great. They have a gorgeous space and it looks like they spent the money on renovating it.

Parking: Excellent in the back of the restaurant, it is spacious and free.

Entertainment: is the best thing they have beside the space. On Friday, they have Armenian & Turkish band (good musicians a bit stiff). On Saturdays they have a Middle Eastern band (one main singer who manages to pull it off and create a good ambiance - musicians are good). Belly dancers change often, I have seen two lousy ones and only one real good one.

Not great for dinning but it is a good place to go to with your friends, order few light appetizers, have a drink, enjoy the music and dance.

  • Pros: Space & Entertainment
  • Cons: Food And Service

Can't say much about Sundays because I never been there on Sunday!
