We had Hummas-Brussels-Octopus-Shrimp linguini-all 3 desert. The food was great. The food is favored well and to my surprise worth making the trip to Great Neck for. The place does need to be renovated. It’s very dark. Will come back for the food.

Fantastic food and excellent service! I dined in for dinner, and the experience was worth every penny, with an average price of around $50–100 per person. I would rate the food a perfect 5 out of 5, along with the service and atmosphere. Highly recommended dishes include the Babaganoush, Halva Parfait, Dry Aged Hudson Valley Duck Breast, and Roasted Cauliflower Salad.
