Great menu and service here. Stayed the night next door at the Joinery and what a great restaurant to have walking distance. Cocktails and the burger were perfect!

Bachelorette party here for our dinner as a first stop. Did not disappoint! The girls and I loved the cocktails, so delish and the food was on-point, my favorite being the Egyptian pita dish!

Went to court building downtown and found this gem across the street! What a great lunch, served by Nadini, and hit the spot. Loved the grilled Cheese from South Africa, what a nice rift on a classic ~

Work lunch was very tasty and they have a killer burger! I know, so simple but when you want comfort food, they have it plus a very nice dining space and friendly service. Nadini did a great job of taking care of me while visiting Pittsburgh, much appreciated and he had some great suggestions for site seeing in the area.

Had an excellent dinner here while in town for a conference as this was located in our hotel. Menu was diverse but also had some staple items which is nice when travelling. I enjoyed the Lumpia appetizer and the Egyptian entree, both very tasting and well presented. The cocktails were well crafted and the server friendly and personable. Thank you for a nice dinner!

We went in for breakfast. After some wait after ordering we were informed they were out of eggs but were getting some soon. We agreed to wait a while longer, which turned in to be so long we left without eating. Also, the drink prices were ridiculously high. Poor experience in every respect.

This was by far the most disappointing meal I’ve ever had. The fact that this place was completely empty when we got there was a major red flag. We were 1 of a total of 3 tables that decided to eat there between 730 & 900 on a Saturday night. I feel bad for the poor servers that have to work there. To make matters worse, it had to be 80 degrees in there. The French guy who “runs the place” was actually wearing a sleeveless undershirt. I have had much better food at gas stations. No clue how this place is still open.
