Bistro 4293

🌟 I tried this newly opened restaurant and was pleasantly surprised! 🍅 The tomato soup was rich and creamy, perfectly balanced and topped with crispy croutons — a great start to the meal. 🥩 The main dish, a slow-cooked meat pie wrapped in a thin pastry, was both beautifully presented and full of flavor. The greens and sauce on the side complemented it really well. 🥟 The small dumplings served in a purple broth were unique and surprisingly tasty — a creative twist that stood out. Overall, the food, presentation, and atmosphere made for a great dining experience. Definitely worth a visit!

An unforgettable Mediterranean dining experience! First Azerbaijani meals in the bay from the professionals Bistro 4293 is a true gem in the heart of Oakland. From the moment you step in, you’re welcomed by a cozy, elegant atmosphere that sets the perfect tone for a special evening. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and every detail felt intentional and heartfelt. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish we tried was beautifully plated and packed with flavor. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection, and the Fire-Kissed Octopus was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. The appetizers—especially the hummus trio and eggplant rolls—were fresh, vibrant, and full of character. But what truly elevates this restaurant is Chef Teymur. His passion for Mediterranean cuisine shines through in every dish. You can tell there’s real care and creativity behind the menu—each plate is like a piece of culinary art. It’s rare to find a chef who can balance tradition and innovation so seamlessly. If you get the chance to meet him, do it—his warmth and vision make the experience even more special. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates top-quality food, thoughtful presentation, and genuine hospitality. Can’t wait to come back!

We had a beautiful experience with food and drinks. Amazing bartender created perfect cocktails for our special evening. Definitely, we will come back to enjoy the atmosphere, food and drinks.

I recently had salmon for dinner, and I must say, it was absolutely delicious! The fish was tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I love how salmon has a rich, buttery taste without being too heavy. It’s not only satisfying but also packed with health benefits — full of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and essential vitamins. Whether it’s grilled, baked, or pan-seared, salmon never disappoints. It’s a perfect choice for anyone looking to enjoy a tasty and nutritious meal. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely dinner here. Everything was so tasty and presented very nicely! Lamb chops and Pilaf were sooo good. Anar, the owner, is very friendly and thanks a lot to our kind waitress for this enjoyable experience. Highly recommend. We are looking forward to more Azerbaijani food

This Azerbaijani restaurant is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is warm and beautifully decorated, making you feel right at home. The plov was incredibly flavorful, and the kebabs were juicy and perfectly grilled. The pakhlava for dessert was sweet, nutty, and went perfectly with hot tea. Every dish tasted authentic and homemade. The staff were so friendly and happy to explain the menu. It was a truly memorable dining experience — I can’t wait to come back!

I never tried Azerbaijani food. I was quite impressed with the dishes. I ordered the lamb kebob and it was excellent. Not gamey at all. The grilled flavor was quite aromatic. It's a bit on the salty side but the red sauce nicely compensated it. We also have the egg plant roll and it was delightful as well. We ordered the Greek salad which was also quite delicious.

The food was very good indeed and the service was great. I did not expect it to be quite as good as it was. The deserts were good, personally, I would skip dessert next time. This is a must try place and our group was in over lunch. Really enjoyed the food and the service together

We had dinner here tonight and overall left feeling let down. My mother ordered the grilled octopus with smoked eggplant purée -- the flavors were good and the eggplant was excellent, but the octopus itself was chewy, not tender. I had the Mediterranean sea bass with mashed potatoes. The sauce and potatoes were delicious, but the fish was dry and overcooked. Service was also disappointing. Our server wasn't knowledgeable about the menu, left empty plates sitting for several minutes, then asked us to clear our own dishes and reuse dirty silverware while she handed us hot entrées. It felt careless and unprofessional. Maybe we ordered the wrong dishes, since the restaurant has good reviews, but paired with the poor service we won't be going back. I really wanted to like this place -- I love Mediterranean food -- but this just wasn't it.

My wife and I ventured in on a quiet Tuesday evening tonight, not knowing what to expect, and we both left quite impressed! The ambiance is inviting and cozy, perfect for a date night or small to medium sized groups. Our server was warm and attentive, the drinks came quickly and tasted great, and most importantly...the food was both very good and unique. Highlights of our meal included the lamb shank and the dushbara (Azerbaijani dumpling soup). I will come back just for that dumpling soup next time I need something warm on a cold night. Looking forward to the next time we get to try more of their menu!

A must try. I would recommend for dates, or even a business meeting and to explore unique food. You'll hear a lot of mmmmmm and omg this is delicious. Best chicken by far and the most fluffiest rice I've ever had and the Lamb chops are a must. The staff were very knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive. The down to earth owner himself makes his rounds with the guests to make sure everything is on point. Reminds me of Rich from Wood Tavern. Bistro 4293 is on the right track with food, flavor, service, and yes a great personality. Extremely clean establishment which is a big plus for me.

I love that there's an Azerbaijani restaurant on Piedmont Avenue! We came during their soft opening as they were likely figuring things out, so service was very slow (even as we were some of the only folks in the restaurant). I know we ask for water refills pretty often, but it was a little tough to get drinks refilled or orders in. (Also, beware - there are two types of still water here - one you pay for and one you don't!) Aside from the minor hiccups and misunderstanding over water, their food was outstanding. My favorites were the lentil soup and Karabakh lamb shank, the Ruby Foam cocktail was lovely, and everything was prepared with skill and care.

There is nothing like getting together to celebrate the joy of a family gathering. I couldn't have asked for a better restaurant to provide an intimate room for my family to gather and share delicious Azerbaijani cuisine, slow braised succulant lamb and simmered sauces. Their signature mixed plate served to whet the appetite but we didn't have to wait long for our entrees. We shared a variety of unique desserts that were delicious. Our wait staff and the owner, Anar, were welcoming and filled with stories that only added to our appreciation of our dinner. I'd highly recommend Bistro 4293 to anyone for their food, ambiance and service. It was a wonderful evening I will remember. Many thanks!

Everything was wonderfully tasty. Prompt friendly service. Forgot to take photo of Turkish baklava.

Ordered the Karabakh Lula Kebab 35 Hand chopped grilled lamb meat served with roasted baby potatoes, red onion, grilled tomato, sumac and parsley. Nice new Azerbaijan restaurant on Piedmont Ave with outdoor and indoor seating. Waitress was nice in helping me pick out what to order. She said her favorites were the meat dolma appetizer, sea bass, khan plov, and the kebab I ordered. Nice extensive wine and spirit list also. I'm glad they ask if you want sparkling, still, or tap water because at Burdell they didn't tell us there was a $9 charge for the house bottle of sparkling water until we got the check. Lamb kebab entree was delicious. The potatoes were roasted perfectly. The salad had some sweet dressing. Lamb was seasoned and cooked well and was tender. Other yelp reviews led me to order the Marash Turkish Ice Cream which came in a block and was really unique and delicious. Highly recommend trying this.

We came a couple of weeks ago and I've been meaning to write a review. I had the lamb chops which were delicious. The peach mule was perfect. I have to say that this restaurant stands out because of its service. The owner/manager came out and greeted us and he was lovely to talk with. I would totally recommend this restaurant for a genuine and lovely experience.

We had a delicious meal at Bistro 4293 from the starter to the dessert. Every plate that came to my table impressed, and I saw plates going to other tables that caught our eye and will order next time. The starter we ordered was the Bistro 4293 Mix Plate. We couldn't pick just one starter and the option of sampling a spread was perfect. The plate contained hummus, calamari, fried dushbara (small meat dumplings, about the size of penny gumballs), mangal (a grilled eggplant and peppers spread), fried prawns, tatziki, and a cocktail sauce for the prawns. Our unanimously favorite thing on this starter was the mangal. It has a very bright and smoky flavor and is delicious on pita. It also went well with the tatziki. For drinks we sampled the non-alcoholic menu, even though the alcohol menu was impressive. It had more Georgian vintages than I've ever seen in one place, though to be fair I've never thought to pay attention to that before. I got the hibiscus lemonade. It was very sweet, super refreshing, and ever so slightly carbonated. My boyfriend ordered the Lacish Petals, even though we were unclear going in what that drink would be other than floral. To me, it tasted sort of like a lychee lemonade and it was also very refreshing! We ordered very heavy entrees, so having a bright and acidic drink on hand to cut through every once in a while was a huge boon. Next ordered were two entrees. We ordered the lamb shank and the lamb chops, because we love lamb. The dishes were both totally distinct and didn't feel redundant. Yes, we ate so much red meat that my heart may stop any minute now, but they were wildly different experiences. The lamb shank was so tender! It fell right off the bone. It was in a delicious mash which it went well with. I do very much love when a whole dish comes together to compliment all its elements and this absolutely did that. The lamb chops were also delicious! They were actually flame grilled and had a fantastic char! The lamb for these chops was probably grass fed because the flavor of the lamb was robust. It was served with a good caramelized onion jam. We also ordered the dushbara soup. It was a great comfort food that warms you up inside. The closest thing I could think to compare it to is matzah ball soup, except the dumplings were small and filled with meat. We were totally full after all this food, but our server recommended the house ice cream. We ordered it as soon as she said it was made with goat milk. We love goat cheese and goat milk but have never tried it as ice cream, and it exceeded our already high expectations set by a delicious dinner! The ice cream was rich and velvety and smooth. It also had that tartness of goat milk in a way that totally worked with the sweetness of ice cream. If I could buy a pint of it to take home I would have! This was the soft opening, so there was an exciting air about the place. The owner himself came out to us at the end and thanked us for coming out on such a momentous occasion. He told us that this is the first Azerbaijani restaurant in California!! He also gave us some Azerbaijani baklava to try. Apparently, all the baklava I'm used to (with the pistachio and filo dough) is Turkish in style. Azerbaijani baklava is delicious! Made with walnuts and a thicker pastry crust. In conclusion, the food was delicious and the people were very welcoming. I hope this restaurant succeeds, and next time I come I will order the khan plov because we saw it going to other tables and it was beautiful.

Food was so flavorful! The meat in both of the the main dishes we got was soooo juicy and tender. I have never had anything like this before so each bite was pleasant. Bar has a lot of selections. The service was excellent. The restaurant is so beautiful. Very clean and great vibes. A great place for celebrations and date nights.

Because we were in the mood to explore new foods! What an amazing selection on the menu. Thank you to the staff for preparing such wonderful food. The place is small and intimate but punches above your expectations. I had never had Blav like that before! Yummy crunchy and sweetness all in one. Yeah, stop by this little gem!

We came here for my birthday, a few weeks after they had opened! It's a cute little warm and inviting spot. I've never been so conflicted about a restaurant. It was difficult to get our server's attention throughout the meal. He seemed distracted and often with the other staff, which left us waiting too long for water refills and to place our order. The hummus trio was delicious! My favorites were the beet and basil, super earthy and creamy, with just the right amount of lemon. The pita bread it came with was fluffy and fresh. The meat dolmas were delicate and juicy, so soft they practically melted in your mouth. Probably the best dolmas I've ever had. The lamb lollipops were succulent and lightly seasoned, however the roasted asparagus and potato seemed firm and dry. For dessert we got a their take on tres leches, very milky and soaked, almost reminiscent of rasmalai. It wasn't really my taste, but others may like it. Unfortunately, the khan plov was very disappointing. The pastry was doughy, the filling was very cold, and with little saffron or meat, leaving it tasting like mostly plain white rice. When we tried to tell the waiter, he had stepped outside on the phone and it was hard to get help. A manager or chef eventually came out and insisted it was "supposed to be cold" which was frustrating since plov should be served hot. Overall the handling of the situation was awkward and unprofessional.

Excellent hummus, and lentil soup. Friendly service. Good experience sitting at the bar. Nice vibe.

I was reluctant to visit the restaurant as I imagined food that would be too hot spice wise. I was wrong!! The lamb kabob is fabulous. Beautifully spiced, perfectly cooked and accompanied by delicious potatoes, thin sliced onions, salad and a superb sumac sauce. Service was very good Would have been 5 stars but my white wine had been sitting around awhile.. my fault really. Who orders white wine with lamb! Comfortable chairs too. I definitely recommend this spot!?

Really wonderful food - we had the lamb kebabs, humus trio and Khan Plav. The food was delicious and some of the most authentic we've had out in a while. However, we ordered 3 Aperol spritz's and the waitress spilled them into our newborns car seat, which thankfully our newborn was just out of.. We were given a piece of baklava each as the meal wrapped, but the drinks were not comped at all, disappointing because we had to clean out the car seat and arrange other transport home because of the incident and it's not easy with a newborn. Wish the service was more generous and thoughtful after the incident, and it's a real bummer because we love the place and live so close by.

Ambiance = 4 Food = 3 Service = 2 Bistro 4293 is a cute restaurant in the quaint Piedmont Avenue neighborhood that serves Azerbaijani Cuisine. Our party of five ordered a bottle of Chandon Brut Rosé Sparkling Wine, two appetizers, and five entrees. The sparkling wine and appetizers were good, especially the mangal (grilled eggplant, peppers, onions, and tomatoes tossed in olive oil and herbs)... but the appetizers only came with four little pieces of Mediterranean bread so we, of course, had to ask for more bread (and were charged extra for it). Our party ordered the Karabakh Lula Kebab (lamb), Khan Plov (beef with caramelized onions, dried fruit and saffron rice wrapped inside a crispy lavash), Tika Kebab (beef), Vegetarian Roasted Cauliflower Rainbow Plate, and a Wagyu Burger. About 25 minutes later, the waiter came back with four of our entrees and left. After five minutes, I looked at the waiter because I hadn't received my food. At that time, he realized that he had only given us four entrees. He asked me what I had ordered, and I said, "The Tika Kebab". Apparently, he gave my entrée to one of our other dinner guests and completely forgot to order the Karabakh Lula Kebab. He asked my friend if he was okay eating the wrong meal and said he would order my entrée. About 20 minutes later my entrée arrived after everyone else had finished their meal. Our friend liked the Khan Plov. Apparently, the Wagyu Burger was okay... it was supposed to be cooked "medium" but arrived medium well. Also, it was served with regular French fries and ketchup. The Tika Kebab beef was tender and well-cooked. It was served with a "special house sauce" that tasted like tomato paste and didn't have much flavor. I would have liked a more flavorful sauce and maybe some tzatziki. The Vegetarian Roasted Cauliflower Rainbow Plate was bland, bland, bland... our friend didn't finish it. We never received the Karabakh Lula Kebab. The worst part of the evening was the service. I don't know if perhaps there was a language barrier, but our waiter wasn't attentive. After asking for a wine glass twice, I finally went up to the bar and got one from the counter person. There was the mix-up with the entrees... our waiter didn't seem to notice he only brought four entrees for five people. We had to ask for water repeatedly, a friend was served a warm glass of the Chandon Brut Rosé Sparkling Wine, and we didn't receive any compensation for the entrée mix up. I don't know... maybe it was an off night for the waiter, but we probably won't be going back there.

Friends, you really have to check this place out! It's one of the best restaurants I've been to lately. The appetizers and main course were absolutely delicious. On top of that, the owner is incredibly hospitable and open to feedback. We were served by Ms. Damaris, who greeted us with a big smile and guided us through the menu with great knowledge. I'll definitely be coming back!

Came to visit on my trip to the Bay Area, food was amazing and service was excellent. Enjoyed my time with the family and the delicious flavors.

I searched Yelp and filtered for restaurants that were good for kids. Made a reservation to this restaurant for my wife's birthday and specifically noted that we have a 2 year old and a 6 month old in a stroller, and were hoping to get accommodated. Tldr; this restaurant is not good for kids We dine out often with our kids and are respectful of the establishments and staff, and it's never been a problem. Usually they will try to seat us in a lower traffic area, or a corner of the restaurant, or a table that we can park the stroller next to us. When we arrived they didn't have a table prepared for us and didn't note my requests and offered us a table for two people, and expected us to have our 2 year old between us on the side, and basically no place for our newborn. We stared at them blankly and then they offered us a larger table in a high foot traffic area that didn't have space for our stroller so they asked us to park our stroller up against the table so that our newborn was tucked under the table? Or basically expected my wife to carry our newborn for the entire meal? The staff lacked common sense and did not seem to make any effort whatsoever. For what you're charging in Piedmont of all places, I would hope the service would have exceeded an IHOP, but I digress. We left before the menus came because there are a ton more better restaurants up and down Piedmont. Again. If you come with kids you will be treated as a nuisance and an inconvenience

Amazing service, food is very delicious. Owner is very nice. I would recommend 100%. Authentic Azerbaijanian food.

Went here for a friends birthday and we had such a wonderful time. The owner somehow knew my friends were Russian and they started speaking in Russian to each other and were laughing and joking like they had been friends forever! The owner was so kind and gave us drinks on the house! He kept checking in on us like we were his family! He was such a good host, mind you this was our first time at his restaurant but others would've thought we were regulars! Anyway, we brought a cake and invited him to sit with us to eat and he did. We shared stories and more laughs and ended up being the loudest table and the last to leave! When we got the bill he gave us a huge discount and we couldn't believe it. In the end, he gave us a private tour of back of the restaurant and we were astonished by how well it was all decorated. The man has good taste! It was such an unforgettable night and we still talk about it to this day. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT AND WE CANT WAIT TO GO BACK!

The food is fantastic. If you want something different Bistro 4293 is the place to go. Ambiance is nice. The staff are great and the service needs improvement. They may need to find their rhythm. My favorite is the Lamb with mashed potatoes. I recommend this place.

Came to this new restaurant, had a great time, food is very tasty, strong drinks, we came with 10 people, ordered a lot and really enjoyed everything. Amazing atmosphere, clean! Great service!!

I rarely ever post about restaurants I visit but Bistro 4293 has such a special, welcoming, and unique dining experience I needed to share a review. The food is incredibly delicious and fresh, the cocktails are top-notch and creative, and most of all the service and staff are exceptional. Highly recommend coming to Bistro 4293!

I had been frustrated because I couldn't find crab fried rice anywhere on Grand Avenue. Yelp said there was a place on Piedmont Avenue, so I went over there. The place was closed. Went to a place across the street. Though there were people inside, they were closed. Then I walked across the street to a cute little place. It had tables out front, and people dining at them. As I approached the window to look at the menu the handsome waiter who was waiting on the people outside turned as I read the menu in the window to see their offerings and smiled at me. As he entered the door, I saw an interesting octopus dish, and followed him inside. There was a party of women dining, as they were celebrating one of their biurthdays. Everyone was warm and friendly, and beautiful smiles. I sat at the bar. The hostess talked to me, and offered me water, which I declined. I had a glass of this wonderful Norwegian Sauvignion Blanc, called Cloudy something. Oh, it was so very good! A great choice! Then, I ordered the octopus. The menu said, "Fire-Kissed Octopus," tender grilled Octopus with smoky eggplant puree, cherry tomatoes, garlic, and special sauce. Well, it sounded interesting, and my anticipation was high. However, I could not have visually anticipated the bowl that I received. It looked like a gift basket! It a had a crispy toasted handle with eggplant purée holding a beautiful lilac, all edible. In the basket was the most wonderful fire-grilled octopus that I have ever had. Period! The taste was absolutely incredible! Each bite of it was tenderly kissed by the flame that grilled it. In this basket was an edible marigold, and the chef beautifully piped dollops of the puréed eggplant around the basket. Then the bowl was artistically decorated with an excellent tasting balsamic syrup. I hope that my fotos capture this for you. This is the only Azerbaijani restaurant in the Bay Area, and the owner, Anar, the nicest guy you will ever meet! I saw he carried my favorite vodka, Chopin, and I squealed with delight, as not all places carry it! Anar pulled the bottle down from the shelf, and poured us each a shot! I couldn't finish my food, so I got a "to go" bag. I hand another glass of that fantastic wine, and paid the bill. I then thanked the chef, who watched the delight and awe on my face as I received my creation. I am going back for sure, as the hostess recommended the Sea Bass, so I will have to give that a try! I highly recommend this wonderful spot! You'll be glad you went! You know this Bitch does not play, when it comes to food!

Azerbaijani food! and some familiar Mediterranean dishes. I'm being a little generous by saying five stars, but some dishes definitely deserve that! Side of asparagus - delicious. Grilled, with a small pile of salad greens and a balsamic glaze Dumpling soup - dumplings were good, broth was way too bland. They were willing to split the soup into two bowls which was nice. Crispy eggplant salad - amazingly good deep-fried eggplant on a bed of cherry tomatoes. I wouldn't call this a salad but I highly recommend! (Menu is misleading by describing it as grilled eggplant...) Lamb shank - not too fond of this but the mashed potatoes were really good Good service though the food came out as it was ready, which wasn't the order we expected/requested. Really nice setting with a few outside tables w/ heat lamps. They allow dogs outside. Glad to have this new restaurant in the neighborhood.

The food is delicious and the staff is great. Very eclectic menu options all very tasty!!

I phoned to place a take out order. A man answered the phone "Hello?" I asked if this was Bistro 4239 and he said "Yes." I asked if they were accepting take out orders. He said "Yes." Has this person ever worked at a business? Let alone a restaurant? I thought I had reached a personal phone line. He must have been in an office bc the background was dead-no dining room, bar, kitchen or patron noise. I thought maybe it was a scam #; if he asked for my CC info I was prepared to hang up. He perfunctorily took my order and asked if I was in the vicinity. ????? I said I was 10 minutes away. He excused himself (to talk to chef maybe?) and came back to say my order would be ready in 15-20 minutes. I arrived in a timely manner and went to the bar to pay and collect my food. Two servers and a bartender ignored me, and then a lovely woman exuding hospitality came to my rescue. She promptly brought out my food, accepted payment, and smiled the entire time. She was the best part of my experience. I got home excited to taste the fire kissed octopus only to find chef forgot to let the fire kiss the octopus. The inner meat was delicious-it appeared to be sous vide. The outer meat, however, was mucilaginous and slimy-yuck. It would have been perfect if it had hit the grill. The chef did manage to fire kiss the half lemon garnish, and the other accompaniments were quite tasty. The portion was generous as well.

A wonderful place with delicious food, charming ambiance and excellent service. We had great time.

Fantastic food, amazing staff, and beautiful ambiance! The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The waiters and owner were very nice and helpful. Great addition to this lively neighborhood. Can't wait to go back!

Very flavorful lamb chops, and Octopus serve with a delicious eggplant. I will go again. A few craft cocktails that look good. I will try one next time.

Great food of the Mediterranean region, with Azerbaijani aspects. Loved all the lamb dishes. Saffron chicken also a standout. Flakiest non-gooey baklava ive ever had. Relaxed atmosphere, very nice staff.

I really enjoyed Khan Plov and Meat Dolma!I highly recommend them!!Good job!! Keep it up like this!!!!!!

We visited for the first time tonight, since we're locals and have had this on our list to try! The owner Anar is a wonderful human who is warm, kind, and full of rich stories. He went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and welcome during the entire evening. For drinks, we had a cocktail (Old Fashioned), and a Georgian orange wine (which was outstanding - I'll go back just for that!). For starters we had the Greek salad and tzatziki; honestly the entire menu of starters and salads looked amazing and I look forward to trying more. For entrees, we both had the lamb shank which was recommended as one of the specialties - the meat was fall off the bone tender, well spiced, and served with a hearty serving of mashed potatoes and vegetables with some of the pot gravy. The restaurant is cozy - we dined alfresco and the light was warm and romantic. We look forward to making this a regular local spot, and can't wait to go back again!

We dropped in last minute on a Friday for an early dinner when we were visiting my husband's aunt. So glad that we gave it a try. Food: We ordered a sampler of appetizers (which were delicious) and then a couple of different entrees. I think the Khan Plov was the favorite for everyone at the table. The lavash was crispy and flavorful and stuffed with a delicious blend of spiced beef, chestnuts, assorted dried fruits, and saffron rice. Definitely worth a repeat order on another visit! (and I know my husband and his aunt will both be ordering it as well on their next visit!) My children shared the wagyu burger and--with the speed at which they devoured it--I can only assume it was also delicious. My husband also tried the Tika kebab, which he really enjoyed. Somehow we managed to save enough room to enjoy the Azerbaijani baklava and the kunefe for dessert. Highly recommend both. We will definitely be visiting again when we are back in town...and we will 100% be looking forward to exploring their menu further!! Service: We called shortly before arriving and were able to have them reserve a table for 5. The servers, hosts and owner were all incredibly gracious and attentive. All of our questions were answered with honesty and enthusiasm. It is very obvious that they are passionate both about their fare and the experience of their guests. Ambiance: We were seated outside, so we didn't get the full effect of being seated indoors. Being from out of town, it was fun to enjoy the cooler weather and the people watching that comes with the neighborhood. Overall the vibe seems to be trendy/upbeat with some neat decor. The restaurant is well-kept, clean and open. With that said, the dining area can definitely get a bit crowded, though it didn't feel so crowded that you cannot move around. Definitely looking forward to seeing how this place evolves as it is open longer. We will be back!

Thanks. Amazing foods. And excellent service. When you go there just ask chef's specials

A fabulous place with creative food, tasteful decor and a vibrant, cosmopolitan vibe. We tried pretty much everything on the menu and it was all spectacular. Eggplant rolls and Khan' plov were particularly good. They also have a mighty Georgian spirit called chacha--which is hard to get in the US, but they did. (you have to ask for it). Owner is super nice and service friendly. Will come there again!

Yes the Khan Plov was both very tasty and at the same time very intriguing. And I loved the fresh Greek salad loaded with olives and feta. The portions are large, so come hungry!
