Unique food in a small setting
3 Star Rating: Average

02/03/2008 Posted by kneering

Came with a group of five, which is a bad idea because the place is teeny tiny. Service was ok ... there is one server for the entire place, which seats about 30 people. The food was great .... fun and innovative, and we relished eating with our hands. The chicken was ok but the beef was awesome. Overall the food was very good, but the setting is less than desirable. If I lived in the neighborhood, I would consider it the perfect place for takeout.

Pros: Great, fun food

Cons: Small, dreary space
