"DC Magazine food writer Nevin Martell heads to restaurateur Rose Previte’s new 'playground of exotic tastes' and sets the scene upon entering the hotspot hidden down an alleyway: Afro fusion, jazz and Middle Eastern melodies are complemented by a rush of heat from the open, oak-powered stone hearth 'that commands center stage.' He notes the 'vibrant eclecticism' in its decor done by restaurateur Rose Previte, with glass globe fixtures, honeycomb wooden paneling, and a living wall. The menu, a tribute to Previte’s Lebanese heritage, as well as Caucasian, North African and Middle Eastern cuisines, is designed to be shared and mixed, and he suggests starting with spreads." - Tierney Plumb
