The food was amazing and the service top notch, even on a busy Saturday evening. Start with the hot fresh pita bread and homemade dips. I highly recommend the romesco (almond and red pepper), babaganoush (eggplant), tahini, and tapenade (olives and basil).

Bright, airy, open, it was a lovely venue for lunch. The menu was simple but had plenty of healthy options that were all very enticing.

Great food, all the plates are sharable including the main dishes. We loved the fried Halloumi cheese and the Greek yogurt with diced tomatoes and freshly toasted Sourdough bread.

One of the best meals I've ever had in Calgary, if not the best! An explosion of incredible flavors, everything we tried was divinely well prepared! Super tender meats, the shrimp with polenta was incredible, we were surprised with every bite! Very good service, pleasant atmosphere! We are excited to return.

Highly recommend the lamb tartare, pork cheek, and crispy chickpeas — every dish was full of flavor and creativity. The chef’s originality truly stands out, and the servers were incredibly kind and attentive.

The food here was exceptional! Overall everything tasted fresh, well made, and seasoned perfectly. The fresh pita with dips was delicious and flavorful. The lamb was incredibly tender and balanced well with herbs and seasonings.
