Huda was great and provided impeccable hospitality for our big group of 9 girls! We were celebrating a birthday with dinner and a show- everything was truly memorable! My favorite dish is the calamari. Kat Sass is hilarious and such an engaging host/ MC for the awesome live performances- we watched acrobat, belly dancing, fire shows and more! We all even got to go on the dance floor as well. We all had so much fun!! Would love to go back :)
I took my mom and a few of my aunts here for a girls' night and it was an absolute blast. The venue itself is absolutely huge. We went on a Friday evening, and surprisingly it wasn't packed at all--maybe about 25% full--but that didn't stop the energy from being incredible. The show was incredibly lively! They had an MC and so many different performers who kept the crowd engaged the entire night. The moms had the best time, whether they were going up to dance themselves, watching the acts, or joining in when basically the whole restaurant gathered for a massive group dance during the "halftime" show. We ordered the large food platters for our table of 7, and it was more than enough food. Everything was delicious Mediterranean cuisine--great hummus, baba ghanoush dips, lamb, chicken, and rice. The moms also loved their flashy non-alcoholic drinks! My only minor complaint is that I wish it had been just a little bit more packed to give the giant space a fuller vibe, but we still had an amazing, memorable night. Highly recommend for a family celebration!
Passed by this place numerous times & finally decided to give it a try. The inside is HUGE!!! The service was PHENOMENAL - servers definitely made you feel welcomed and described menu items to a T. Food waa delicious, but bummed that the calamari & shrimp appetizers were as small as they were (didn't fit the price point). Everything else was sooooo good. I heard there were shows, but didn't realized they started at 9p. I definitely plan to return to try a few more options and checkout the show.
We had a wonderful dining experience and wanted to share our appreciation. The grill lamb chops were absolutely outstanding — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and tender. The lentil soup was warm, comforting, and full of rich flavor, while the falafel was crispy on the outside and soft inside, clearly made fresh. The tiramisu was the perfect ending to the meal — light, creamy, and delicious. A special thank you to Adnan for the exceptional service throughout the evening. He was attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcomed. He also helped make the birthday celebration extra special, which we greatly appreciated. His professionalism and hospitality really elevated the entire experience. We’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend this restaurant to others. Norazam & Elni Azura Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Made reservations for their Saturday show and was not disappointed. Food was amazing and there’s plenty of time to order and get your food before their show starts. They do a lot of audience interactions with their shows so be prepared to be called on if you’re in a big group. If you are going on a show night be prepared to have a late night since the show starts at 9 and ends somewhere around 11. Overall an amazing experience and would love to come back for more. *There is a card service charge if you’re paying with a credit card, an automatic gratuity with a certain number of people, and if you’re going on their show days they have a $5 entertainment fee per person.
