This restaurant was $90 on New Years per person. This included a shared appetizer, salad dumped out of a bag, mixed grill plate that was sub par at best nothing fresh and a custard dessert. When we received the bill we were billed for a basked of bread three times for one basket. We were given 3 bottles of water at 2.49/ bottle without being told that was and extra charge as well in addition to the 90 charge. This restaurant was a total scam for what we received concerning service which then was a 26.00 tip per person sitting at the table. Do not go here and give these people your money all they

The cold Appetizer Sampler Lunch was entirely flavorful. We had also ordered falafel, hummus & pita, alongside the Lamb Chop appetizer. The lamb was cooked to order and fairly tasty. Caf Efendi's house sauce/oil features savory spices and is equally notable as their plates. The Baklava was ordered for dessert. This layered pastry was leveled on the sweetness scale with nutty undertones but unfortunately was not as fresh as one would hope. Overall, the food is filling and easily excites the palate. We received our food expeditiously and to top everything off, had a charming server.

The ambiance was nice and the staff are friendly. Nice music and few people were dancing. Mediocre food. Falafel was undercooked and didnt meet our taste and has told the waiter to convey the same to the Chef. Lamb and Chicken saut were nice. Pomegranate Martini was perfect.It was too expensive for the quality of the food. Overall it was a disappointing experience.

I love this place. They have the best food and service. They have the cleanest hookahs. Friday and Saturday nights are their greatest nights.
