  Rotten Christmas experience. Called before we left and asked if we needed to make a reservation. "How many?" "Two." "No need for two. Just walk in." We arrived about :35 later. Lobby a madhouse, stuffed with people standing and waiting. 3 chairs for people who were waiting. Finally managed to get to the counter. Two people, one giant, fat, seated woman, and one very thin, sour faced, standing man. Neither looked up or acknowledged us. Finally I bent down and put my face near the woman's. "How long for two people?" "Twenty minutes." She didn't take our name or give us a number. OK. We waited. Almost everyone waiting walks up to the counter several times to ask how much longer. After :15 of waiting NO ONE looked at or acknowledged us, so I approached the thin, sour-faced man. "How much longer?" "Thirty minutes." I said, "No, the lady told us twenty minutes fifteen minutes ago. How much longer NOW?" He just looked at me. Eventually I spoke to the fat lady again (the fat lady and thin man kept coming and going into the seated area, and waiters were walking through the waiting crowd with full plates of food to deliver, so it was very confusing). I told her we'd been waiting :20 and asked how much longer. She said they would see if we could be seated in a room that had been booked by a private party. We waited some more. By this point the 3 VERY old people who were waiting when we first arrived were slowly each walking up to the counter trying to find out WHEN they might be seated. 4 young Asian men approached the woman and said they'd been waiting a long time, but they'd come in just after us. Yet they were seated w/in 3 minutes of complaining. A group of 3 people who came in about :30 after us (after the fat woman said she would see if we could be seated in the private room) were whisked past everyone and seated right away. A family of 4 adults (mother, father, and two grand parents) with two young children who were there when we first arrived were STILL waiting. Finally I made my husband ask the fat woman (whose fat daughter was in and out in back of the counter and who we asked when we'd be seated, as well) when we would be seated. This was at about :40. After asking her daughter, she said the people in the private room said, "No". Talk about Christmas cheer. At about :40 the part of 3 old people were finally taken into the dining room. At that point I said, "Let's just leave." My husband thought since we'd waited so long we would be seated. I'd looked into the dining room and only seen large tables and no small ones, and didn't think our chances were good. I said, "I'm leaving in 3 minutes if we're not seated." Went outside, found an open (no wait) Turkish restaurant 7 minutes away. Walked back in and said, "Let's go." No one looked at us, apologized, nothing. It was like we were imaginary. We've never eaten there and despite the good reviews for the food, we will NEVER go back. This was the nightmare ON Christmas.

  I ordered three dishes from here last night and the the food came cold and soggy, the chicken was mostly fat, when I called the restaurant to explain the issue the person who picked up the phone hung up in my face, I would normally never write a review about a business but i couldn't believe the terrible service and food here. I've lived in the area for over five years now and never experienced something like this, I would not recommend this place to anybody
