Very flavorful, authentic food with good vices and amazing customer service ! Lamb is amazing and falls off the bone. Overall makes a fun date spot but drinks are subpar

one of my favorite spots in Stamford!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Dec 25, 2015Previous reviewGreat selection of vegan appetizers and entrees . Dishes are authentically prepared and remain accurate to the menu description. Only negatives are slow service and a darker, simplistic atmosphere .
Worth the money. Plan on going back for dinner. - Rachel S.Stafford Township, NJ1087521Dec 19, 2017
Was here for a company team dinner. The decor needs some work/authenticity. Fred (event planner) was very friendly as well as informative. We worked on a pre-fixed menu that I was very happy with. Dinner drinks started off at a slow pace and was a bit choatic but when things settled down, everyone seemed to be genuinely enjoying themselves. There was a person strumming and singing on the guitar, a little loud for a song or two, but was nice on the more quieter songs. Food was delicious (I wish I ordered the chicken lollipops, they were massive but also looked extremely tasty). We had 1 vegetarian, who had many items to choose from and he was very happy and said he enjoyed his meal. Most of the table had either the shrimp pil pil or the kabobs (variety). Kabobs were tender and cooked to perfection and had such a wonderful/unique taste. I can't wait to visit on my own. I was very impressed with food quality/quantity at this restaurant.

We were 8 people with a reservation at 8 o'clock on a Saturday night. After we were seated, the experience just went downhill fast. They were out of Lamb and Cauliflower, which we were only told AFTER we tried to order. We settled on chicken lollipops and some other items. When they brought out small plates, one of the items we ordered, baba ghanoush, never came out. Then the wait staff just ignored us and did not think we should be asked if we wanted to order entrees or more food. We eventually paid our bill, after asking them to correct the overcharge for undelivered items. We got out before the music started. From other reviews, that would not have helped at all. Ugh. We will not return.

Hustle and bustle is the feel of this place!
Service is efficient. I would recommend getting there early and getting a table because it gets crowded. Getting to enjoy a live band and dancing so frequently is a great bonus for this area.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jennifer L.Stamford, CT09Nov 10, 2017

Food was good. No pictures because we ate it all. Meatballs and lamb chops were great!!
Night was a ruined by music that was way way too loud for 8p. I couldn't even hear my wife from across the table without screaming.
So we left. Could have been a nicer night if that sound was turned down a bit. Plus the music doesn't really match the ambiance for the place. If I wanted loud music and screaming, I would have gone to a bar.
Other than that, not too bad.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Glad that you enjoyed the food so much! Terrific. Generally as a rule the louder bands start later, so sorry the music was too loud on the night you dined with us. Perhaps a loud band started early and slipped through the cracks, you see louder bands start on Thursday & Sunday after 9PM and on Friday-Saturday after 10PM (when many clients are finishing up their meals). We'll work with the booking agent and staff to try to avoid that issue in the future, thank you for the feedback. Regarding ambiance, in addition to being a restaurant, our claim to fame is that we are one of the only, no-cover, live music venues around. We pride ourselves in showcasing any and all musical genres and styles under one roof 4-5 nights a week.

Great food, great staff, I love that they have live music. I don't generally like octopus, but I tried it and it was excellent. The caramelized cauliflower is tasty. The hummus is very good. The Harissa Chicken Pizzet was a bit over seasoned. The tagines are awesome.

We came for just drinks and finger food. It is a nice place but the manager was not the most welcoming. Also once the restaurant got busy with other tables, the waiter kind of forgot about us and we had to flag him down so order more drinks. Best part though was the live music. Go Sub-Urban!!
