Marissa did an outstanding job with our appetizer to make sure there were no allergens. Enjoyed the rainbow trout: the whipped potatoes and butternut squash were perfect as sides. Everything was smooth, and we received a close table as requested ahead of time. Love coming here!

Magnificent hidden gem in the Sudbury area! Highly recommend making a reservation as they were quite busy (we went around 7PM on a Friday night). Although busy, the staff were highly attentive, friendly, and comforting. As a party of two, the small portions of baba ghanouj and tabouli were perfect. The rakakat was incredible on it's own although paired nicely with a little baba ghanouj on top. Our number 1 mistake is having eyes bigger than our stomachs! We possibly could have shared a beef shawarma but instead both came home with leftover beef shawarma dishes. Cocktails tasted exceptional and felt larger than the typical cocktail served elsewhere (never a bad thing).
