    Beautiful venue, interesting menu, they were out of some things, would have liked to have known that before deciding. But our food was very good. Different but well prepared. Drinks were delicious.

    This was a huge disappointment. A Manhattan that we saw the bartender make —and nothing special—no measuring— was, gulp, $19. And we asked for bar bourbon. The food was very mediocre. Fried chicken was smothered so it wasn’t crispy. Grilled vegetables had a bad taste to them. Service was fine.

    At first we was a bit worried since this place was completely empty at 6:30 pm on a Saturday.. But the food made the worries go away! We would recommend to our friends!

    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!

    Had a great breakfast here! Not many options in Downtown for breakfast but this one is a winner! The breakfast burrito is a go for sure and big. Great service as well, much appreciated!

    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!
