Charlotte Y.

We stumbled upon this restaurant while taking a weekend golf trip to Tucson, and it turned into a great experience. We often look for Mediterranean fare while traveling to different cities, and this has definitely claimed the top spot! The kebabs, the clay pot, the rice, even the salad was fresh and delicious! Our dinner was so great that we decided to try the dessert, baklava and Turkish coffee, and that was the perfect finish to a wonderful meal! We will absolutely be back here whenever we come to Tucson!

Tried this place for the first time. Really impressed. Lovely outdoor patio, kind service and yummy food. Portions are nice and large. Rice was cooked perfectly and meet was nicely seasoned. Beef was tender. Try the creamy ayran yogurt drink ???? We’ll be back!

The food is amazing here very authentic and the services terrific and our waiter had to deal with about 13 of us:-) also there was a nice generous portion and the ability to take a little bit home for the next day for a snack for lunch. Absolutely delicious basmati rice. The lamb was so tender in the stew and just the right amount they didn't try to cheapen it with only a couple of pieces. Everything had great flavor. I think the Mediterranean side salad come in a bowl for mixing up the dressing A bit easier. We all will definitely be back. Vegetarian options: Someone could choose a rice option or a Mediterranean salad and there may be a few other options I'm not a vegetarian. Kid-friendliness: My niece and nephew really enjoyed their virgin pina coladas and the food.
