"We came as a group last night. Server told us that the food is served family style, with shared plates. The serving portions are really more for one or two people, though, and for four hungry people at the table we cleaned up those shared plates quickly and had to order much more food. The food, especially the entrees, are not cheap. We knew that going in though. One disappointing thing was that the hummus appetizer does not come with anything to dip in it besides 4 individual slices of onion. If you want bread to dip, that’s sold separately for $6. That seemed odd and sort of nickel and dime-y. Some of the dishes seemed to come with the exact amount of food for our foursome, and no more, which was a shame because the food is very good. Unfortunately, you’d get your one or two bites and that was about it. Cocktails were tasty, but a little small. Ordered a whiskey sour and it came in a glass slightly larger than a shot glass. For about $15 that felt pretty overpriced, especially now in the age of the $15 minimum drink. Cocktails also took about 20 minutes to get to us. Overall the food was delicious and service was also pretty good, but it did all seem rather overpriced and to call the portions “shareable” or “family style” is being generous by American standards, unless you’re used to or prefer small portions."

"The food was absolutely amazing. Drink cocktails we had were on the spot. I only wish they had a rotating menu as I'm sure after 2 times I'll be looking for something new."

"High end , intelligent, and interesting food that everyone can enjoy. All will leave happy from this high end and (for the Austin fine dining scene) very reasonably priced foodie heaven. The vibe is high-end and comfy foods meets urban art. There is graffiti on the walls - in a space that could otherwise be a high end living / dining room. Each seating area has its own little vibe. They even pump different music into the different areas. There is different design elements. They each have their own merits: The enclosed patio is the spot to request for the more intimate (and …comfortable? )experience. The bar is for a more “rock and roll” vibe. The main dining is bridge between the two. The outside patio is very seasonal, but beautifully appointed. This is a spot for an intimate meal or a great night out for drinks. (Again - the intelligent design. ) The food is of the highest caliber with great technique and presentation but is accessible to all. There is some amazing experimental food (the smashed cucumber or Sigarim) and some equally awesome “comfort food” options ( the best falafel in town hands down and my dining companion adored the humus.) The haloumi was beautiful and tasty. The Lamb Kofta was excellent. My favorite dishes were the smashed cucumber and the falafel. Ask to have Umut as your waiter. This man is kind, caring, and the perfect level of attentive. We had a wonderful time learning from him - he is from Turkey and helped guide us in our meal selection. You will feel so cared for in a very unassuming and light touch way. He is the perfect waiter for this spot. I would say this is a place to equally take your pickiest of eaters and your food snobs. That is a tough balance to strike. Well done."

"The food here is amazing and the service is exceptional. Our waitress walked us through all the options in the menu so we can make the right choice for us. Ordered Hummus, Falafel, Frena, Kofta, Charred Cabbage, Tilefish and Chicken Shawarma. Every dish was so tasty and fresh. Bread and lamb butter are out of this world. Their Baklava is a must try as well. Highly recommend this place!"

"LOVED this place!! The food was delish and the decor was edgy. It was totally my brand! I had the falafel, hummus, sabich and bread. All were delish!! The cabbage was the only boring item. Skip it!! To drink I had the IPA and it was lovely. My server Sophie was the best. She was attentive and always checked in on the status of our order. I can’t wait to come back!!!"
