"**Short version:** Excellent food, attentive service, and a lovely atmosphere, though it's a bit cramped. Definitely worth a visit!
**Detailed version:** We ordered the chicken combination for two, which came with four vegetarian options. We chose lentils, split peas, and beets with carrots. The highlight for me was the chicken dish in the center; it was simply outstanding. They also included a boiled egg, which I absolutely loved. I couldn't stop eating! The other chicken dishes we tried were equally delicious.
The ambiance is quite charming, though we ended up sitting in a corner by the window. Your experience will depend on your seating choice since the place is somewhat limited in space (but then again, which restaurant in NYC isn’t?). That evening, since one of my friends was visiting, it felt nice and private (not silent, but sufficiently distanced from other tables) for us to catch up after a long time.
The staff here are very polite and welcoming. We arrived without a reservation, but they greeted us warmly and the wait was no issue. The service was truly exceptional.
I would happily return to this restaurant and highly recommend it!"
