    Finally a restaurant in downtown San Jose worth writing home about! Hip ambience with excellent creative cocktails, interesting wine list, and very good food. Main entrees presentation was a little underwhelming, but this is just constructive criticism for continued improvements. Hope you keep it up!

    I have been to this restaurant several times before. I brought a friend this time. She had never been before. She was blown away! She tends to be very discerning about food and restaurant ambiance. She LOVED it! The whole experience from start to finish was bar none. The waiter was very polite. We did not feel rushed. The food was excellent. My friend loves eggplant and the kashko bademjoon was exemplary. The salmon kabab and chicken breast kabab was very well made, perfectly flavored. Baghlava was delicious without being overly sweet. Highly recommend!

    I was in town visiting family for Christmas, all Assyrian immigrants from Iraq, who are very discerning when it comes to "good food." I've not been here in over 10yr, but it has always been my favorite restaurant. I brought the entire family for lunch on 12/26/24. Carlos was our waiter. We had a table of 14 that included three children under 4yr and three teenagers (who asked for I don't know how many refills). I know; we were a lot. The food was not only exceptional, it came out hot, and it came out quickly. Very impressive. I heard at least 4-5 relatives comment on the hummus being "next level," and let me tell you, that is a HUGE compliment from a family of amazing chefs. Carlos was just a wonderful, effcient, and patient server. I waited tables at the Crow's Nest when I was earning my teaching credential, so I know how hard serving a large (loud, needy) party can be, and he never missed a mark. (I hope you use him to train all your new servers).

    Used to frequent Faz in MTV and found this one near our home. Easy parking and not crowded on an early Monday night. Large portions and very well prepared entrees. Servers were very attentive. Will definitely go back.
