Customer Reviews
Really stunning restaurant, all of the dishes are so tasty, and you really have to try their Hummus! Also their new location on Merrion Road is much better, there is ample parking at the church (almost next door) so it’s much better than their previous location on the canal.
We had dinner for 2 here tonight and I am blown away by how fantastic this restaurant is! The food was the so flavourful and fresh, service was great and wonderful atmosphere. We usually are not huge dessert people but the selection of ice cream was to die for, homemade and so so tasty. We will definitely be back, our new favourite restaurant. BYOB is also such a plus!
Mustafa is a wonderful host! The food is absolutely delicious. We ordered the Garlic Prawns, Falafel and Dolma. The naan bread is so fresh and the tzatziki that comes with the Dolma is exquisite. The interior is unique and calming. With beautiful tactile floral wallpaper, mahogany wood and brass furniture and low hanging clear glass contemporary lighting. You can tell alot of care and thought has gone into the design. Mustafas passion for excellent, tasteful cuisine has been exceeded only by his lovely warm welcome and extra nibbles with our food, which were mouth wateringly good! We'll be back again!!
