From the moment you step into this exquisite Mediterranean gem in the heart of Atlanta, you know you're in for something special. The ambiance is effortlessly elegant and sophisticated. The menu is a celebration of Mediterranean flavors, with each dish crafted to perfection. The grilled octopus, tender and charred just right, is a standout, and I ordered it chopped (as recommended by our server) - simply divine. What truly sets this restaurant apart even more is the impeccable service. Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-tier Mediterranean cuisine in a stunning setting.

This was a good meal! I enjoyed the baba ghanoush, dumpling appetizer, and Doner. Good prices as well. Server was a little awkward and did not do a great job at explaining the menu when we asked for recommendations, and he also did partially spill a drink on my lap/table. The restaurant is pretty dark but still had energy. Good for families, groups, or a date night.
