This is a little bit of a mixed review because my server was amazing and polite, and kind, as were the other staff on the floor. The environment and the vibe are so warm and welcoming. It feels like you're going to a family's house for dinner with music and I had so much fun. This was my first time seeing belly dancing in person which they have every Saturday roughly around 7:30 p.m. And the belly dancer was like this beautiful, magical, fairy butterfly of a Barbie. And many people in the restaurant were up and dancing with her. The little kids were so freaking cute as they were Flying the scarves through the air with her. Watching their Joy was truly infectious in the most wonderful way. Then the server comes around to take our order through the music and fun chaos but when I attempted to order the complete meal for $44.95, it was explained to me that two people at the table needed to order it. Oh, ok, no problem, this other person at my table and I from our group will have the complete meal. I'm so sorry it's my first time lol I don't know the ropes yet. Then the server continues to explain that they would charge us individually $44.95 each person for it. So if you're going to charge me individually for a complete meal, why would I not be able to purchase that complete meal as an individual? Or why not advertise it for what it actually is? As a full dinner for two people for the price of $89.90 or $90. Eliminating the conversation and unnecessary questions. And then beneath all of that information, there's an additional share fee?? (Not mad just confused) I just wanted to eat good food and have a nice time, and did not want to go through any more mental acrobatics to figure out the complexity of the rules for the complete meal. So I got Ed's favorite. And that was absolutely delicious. From the Maza section, I got burak and the pie sampler. Then the evening dies down and I order baklava to go and a Turkish coffee to have at the restaurant after my meal. There was a birthday party occurring at this restaurant while we were there, and they had this huge sheet cake, but I guess they overestimated how much cake they would need. So then this awesome family decided, well, we're going to share our cake with the other patrons in the restaurant. Further fueling this feeling of a family gathering. It was overall a great experience, and the menu issue did not deter me from tipping more than 25%.
