    Meditteranean with a California twist. Mezzi plates mean small servings but not a small price. The waitress suggested 2-3 plates per person. The food was good; we have an allergy in the family, and they were careful to explain the menu and double-check our choices with the manager. The service was good but the initial delivery of the first plate was >40 minutes.

    Waited 30 min between orders. I get that they come out when ready, but 30 min between each is crazy long at 8:30 on a Wednesday night. Chicken kebab was good, but way over priced for one skewer of chicken and rice. Crispy onion dip was very good, but again, over priced. Potatoes were nothing special. Don’t think we will be back 2 people, 2 sodas, potatoes, onion dip, chicken kebab, spicy meet.
