The best in Baltimore! Food is inexpensive, but the environment is as classy (if not classier) than those of MUCH high price. Food is unique and great (with awesome presentation). Get the bread basket (it's a mix of really yummy breads). more

I guess my husband and I fell into the same trap many get into - the restaurant was highly recommended to us by our friend. We expected some spicy food and at least great kebobs. But instead our dishes were absolutely flavorless. They had no texture - very mushy and unpleasant to eat. So we left thinking we'll never go... more
