As a huge Mediterranean/Middle Eastern foodie, I was so excited to come here, especially after reading great reviews of this place. Wish I had gone to Rumi instead. Walked in, and heard the blaring music, and then totally deterred by the belly dancer shimmying over toward our table. Awkward. Dinnertime was periodically interrupted by the blasting music and belly dancers whose skill varied greatly, though none of them were really that good. The food portions were disappointing, and nothing really tasted THAT good, except for the wide variety of desserts in the back of the menu. Service was fine, though the creepy old men ogling us from nearby were not. Disappointed, and will definitely not be recommending this place to anyone. I have no idea why it's popular among Beijinger readers... maybe I just ordered the wrong dish? Except I tried three of them (from friends' plates) and all were pretty lackluster. Oh well.
