Wanted to try something new for date night and we’re so glad we did. Every single bite was delicious, hot, and fresh. The dishes were very flavourful and I thought the servings sizes were an excellent value for the price. For 2 mains, an appetizer, a drink, (all filling portions), tax and generous tip under $100 was great. The servers were very friendly and quick. They checked in often, but not too much that it interrupted the meal. Would happily eat here any time again.

Small cozy restaurant hidden at the corner of a small business zone. Friendly staff, normal prices, very tasty food. I would have given the place 5 stars, but the portion was too small. It was just normal salad, tasty rice with unusual pleasant aftertaste and a very tasty meat. It was only pity that it was too small in comparation to average portions here in Canada in other restaurants.

Food was good but portions very small. Waitress said portions are usually larger, could be the end of the day that's why portions may be small. No offer of a discount to compensate even provided.

We have been back to this restaurant on several occasions. It's become our go-to restaurant for introducing folks who live elsewhere to what Dartmouth has to offer. The food is always excellent and the waitstaff couldn't be friendlier.

Original review: Lovely Mediterranean restaurant with exceptionally beautiful tablecloths and a nice ambiance. We ordered the beet salad (beets, walnuts, goat cheese, maple vinaigrette) and the mixed meze plate which included hummus, dolma, mutabbel, falafel, and eggplant saute. For dessert we had the baklava and liked it so much we also got an order to go. The baklava at the table was served with a delicious raspberry sauce.

Everything was very tasty and plated in an attractive way. Our server was very attentive and helpful. The view from the restaurant is the only detraction since it looks out onto a parking lot (nice trees, otherwise unexceptional) but they do their best to make the inside beautiful and cozy. We will definitely go back.

We met friends here for dinner. They've been fans for a while and we are SO impressed with everything about this spot. A nice-sized menu with great choices but not so big as to be overwhelming. The lamb moussaka was perfect. (A veggie version is available) A side salad was included - crisp, fresh and delicious. Hubby had the special - lamb shanks - so tender. The server was pleasant, prompt and efficient. I love the accents in the room, and the tablecloths were really pretty, woven fabric in a variety of designs. Can't wait to go back.

This is an absolute hidden gem. Every time we go (which is quite often) we are not disappointed. The quality of food is excellent, and the staff are wonderful. There's a young man who works there as a waiter, he is hands down the best in the industry. Consistently goes above and beyond to ensure you feel welcomed and well looked after. Honestly, give this man a raise because his service is unmatched. Excellent personality and really makes it an enjoyable experience all around. It's a lovely spot to take family as well. Thank you USTA!

This hidden gem right at the Portland Hills may not be visible from the street but once you find it you will go back over and over again…the food , service and atmosphere is 10/10! I am so glad I found this place, I’ve eaten here twice this week, once was takeout and the other I dined in.
