    We ordered the hummus, eggplant, salad, cauliflower, brussel spouts, halloumi, mushrooms, scallops and octopus. For dessert we ordered the walnut and gold raisin ice cream. EVERYTHING was delicious and I can't wait to go back. We came in at 9:45pm, they close at 10pm and we still received attentive service with a smile. Thank you!
