Arjumand BonhommeAugust 17, 2014Great atmosphere! Julia, the host is super friendly. The room in the back and the outdoor patio are really quaint.
Bug EOctober 6, 2013fantastic friendly service- we did the groupon and were pleased with everything about the restaurant. perfect smooth jazz, seafood couscous, bottle of wine, and date pudding.
Sarah MaguireJune 11, 2014Used the free drink check-in special for a very generous glass of sangria and ate amazing mussels. Absolutely coming back, so charming and tasty!!
Roxanne FeldmanNovember 16, 2013We had the Moroccan mussels and the lamb meatball soup. Both fantastic. The happy hour sangria and special beer are also great.
Dee PhunkDecember 24, 2010The head chef Luisa Fernandes won an episode of Chopped (one of my fave shows on The Food Network) so that's a great selling point all on its own. Great atmosphere, tasty food & very friendly staff.
Serious EatsSeptember 10, 2013Moroccan and Middle Eastern restaurant with generous portions of solid tagines, dips, and salads.
Russell HirschornNovember 15, 2014Mussels and smoked trout pizza deeeelish. Cous royal and braised lamb meh. Lamb is super gamey. Sangria garbagio.
Akua AidooMay 4, 2013Dollar oysters are yummy, the red sangria leans towards the dry side, and my favorite had to be the Creme Brûlée...and I don't ever eat desserts
The horseradish sauce here is outstanding. Perfect for the dollar oysters. Plus the specials aren't only at the bar!
I'm the Mayor! You sit down and drink your $3 sangria, now. Then you are to have the dollar oysters. Repeat.
Edward FabilaMay 7, 2013Get a glass of sangria, sit outdoors and people watch onto 2nd ave....a true East Village moment.
Stella Raffle-WaxOctober 6, 2012the grilled shrimp is great!!!! service a tad slow, but if you come before 7, you'll have the back room to yourself for a bit.
İpek DemirNovember 18, 2011Calamari salad, chicken skewers and roasted vegetables are delicious with belly dance show and live music. Cool!
Becca McArthurNovember 30, 2012Mussels here come in a spicy green broth with sweet onions and garlic. Different and so delish.
Erin LaneNovember 19, 2011If you like sausage (and who doesn't), go with the merguez sandwich -- you will definitely be satisfied.
Cate PoeApril 13, 2011Amazed at the negative comments. I've been here three times. Love the food. Never had a problem with service.
Omg! Packed and vibrant! Live music & gorgeous belly dancing! Not to mention amazing food & best service!!!!!!
My favorite Mediterranean restaurant! Love clams, grilled Octopus, and best Rib Eye Steak! Go Chef Luisa!!!
