Me and my husband had a good summer evening. The food was good and the Moroccan wine was excellent.
If you want Middle Eastern, skip this one.: If you're looking for middle eastern cuisine, there are far better places than this one. The food was subpar, the environment unimpressive, the chairs uncomfortable and the service average. In all fairness, its Moroccon cuisine is not bad at all. However, here's the kicker--when my friend went to the lady's room, she found the waiter washing his feet in the sink. I kid you not! I wouldn't have bothered to write a review for a subpar middle eastern cuisine restaurant if it wasn't for that little incident at the end of the night. Choose another place, there are plenty to choose from in the City and in other boroughs.
Great Vegetrarian Option: A good local spot for excellent Middle Eastern (Syrian). Enjoy the vegetarian multi-course feast. Have a nice bottle of Lebanese wine.

hey, i know it may seem weird that a man is washing his feet in the sink. however, in islam, when getting ready for prayer, one of the main ablutions is to wash your feet. it's not because he wanted to be gross, but since there are no tubs, he had no other choice.
