"Amazing restaurant with authentic dishes. Everything is fresh and homemade. The owner is super friendly and welcoming. He makes sure that guests are happy with the meals and is ready to make special drinks as well. We even got a complimentary tea which was super strong and flavorful. The restaurant is very nice, clean and has a fancy vibe. Parking on the street."

"Wow. This restaurant is a hidden gem in Cincinnati. How have I not heard about this restaurant or been here before today?! My husband and I decided at the last minute that we were craving Mediterranean food and wanted to try somewhere new because we still hadn't found a favorite spot in the city. Well, we found it today. The service was wonderful. We came at a slow time in the day, around 3:00 and we're the only customers when we got there, which was perfect for our first visit because we were able to get extra time to learn about the menu and recommended dishes. Everything we ordered was flavorful and prepared perfectly. Obviously what I'm about to say is comparing different cuisines, but the flavors of these dishes were at the level of meals we've had in France, or restaurants of celebrity chefs like Tom Colicchio's CraftSteak in Vegas or Gordon Ramsay's flagship restaurant in London. We started with the Cold Appetizer Sampler (we both wanted to order a second one it was so good), Spinach Pide (cheesy doughy goodness), Doner Gyros Kebab (wow, even the carrots were delicious--I've never said that a carrot is delicious!), Swordfish Kebab (my husband got this one and loved it), and just when I thought it couldn't get better and I was too full to enjoy more food we decided to get the Pistachio Baklava. I don't have any superlatives left without repeating what I said about the rest of the meal, but it was amazing and delicious, definitely the best baklava I've had in my life and one of the best desserts of all. We will be back soon!"

"I split the Sampler Plate and Moussaka between 2 people, which was a 5/5⭐️ Our third person ordered the Turlu Vegetable Stew and it was subpar: sour, and overall not great. However, everything else was incredible! We ordered the maple and Pistachio Baklava - be wary of the sweetness of it! The pastry just melted in your mouth, and the pistachios added a great nutty and crunchy flavor. The ice cream it was served with was amazing as well. We sat outside for a few hours - the ambiance, service, and atmosphere was amazing and we had a great time! Definitely stop by if you’re looking for some fresh, middle eastern cuisine🧿"

"Just our favorite restaurant in Cincy! The food is excellent, the service is outstanding and a great location. Locally owned and managed, Fahri and his staff make you feel welcome. We made a reservation as Saturday nights are busy. Very nice wine and full bar, love their appetizers (some of which if you are a light eater can be 'dinner'), main course is generous in portions and well prepared, desserts are incredibly delicious and everything is authentic.Overall excellent and compared to other restaurants in the area you would pay much more. What a Cincinnati treasure!"

"The food was all delicious! Highly recommend the kunefe."
