    Wow, what an incredible experience! It was our first time here, and we were celebrating my guy's birthday. Honestly, I’m not usually into Greek food and thought Turkish cuisine might be pretty similar, so I was a bit skeptical going in. But let me tell you, I was absolutely blown away! The flavors were a delightful surprise, and I loved every bite! The service was top-notch, with fantastic recommendations that our whole group raved about. And those cocktails? Just as delicious as the food! The ambiance was electrifying, setting the perfect mood for our celebration. I can't wait to go back for another unforgettable meal!
