Both the atmosphere and the decor are lavish, but the Middle Eastern food is delicious enough to hold attention.

The long list of mezzas (appetizers), many of which are vegetarian, includes several kinds of hummus and more obscure options such as muhamarra, a dip made of crushed walnuts, red pepper paste and pomegranate juice. Entrees run from the very meaty kebabs to vegetarian plates like mousakka. When taking a breather, take in the sparkling chandeliers, gurgling fountains and, on the weekends, live music and dancing.
