    Nothing short of exceptional. It's a small space that has comfortable seating and attentive wait staff. The menu has so many choices and I hope to eat my way through most of it. The food & beverages are full of warm, melt in your mouth, flavors.

    Delicious meal and gracious staff. Our group of 4 enjoyed everything. Amazing appetizers, perfect bread. One of the best restaurant experiences in the DMV. I had the smoked/braised lamb shoulder over a bread base. Perfect seasoning. Described as spicy -- yes but in balance and does not overwhelm the many other flavors. Great value for a meal this good in a restaurant this nice. Don't let the Springfield strip mall location next to I-95 fool you.

    Superb Value, great food, outstanding service from Keyvan. I booked a short notice reservation for a solo bachelor Saturday supper and everything hit the spot! I’ve been eating here since 2019, but kept it simple and tried the Hot Mazza Assortment and the Halal Beef Bistro Burger for the first time. WaPo reviewer Tom Sietsma said the burger was the sleeper item on the menu, and YEAH - I agree. Finished off with the Vanilla Ice Cream with Rose Water & Cardamom. ¡¡ Great Stuff !!
