So there is this new restaurant in town. It went in the new Anderson Town Center. I was excited because of the emphasis of freshly made EVERYTHING! I had heard great things so my expectations were high. The first time I went, the service was near perfect. My second time, when it was busy, it was actually even BETTER! I enjoy that the owner personally greets his patrons when you are seated and checks on you throughout the night to see if you are satisfied. This was a nice touch but this only increased my expectations of the food even further.

We ordered the sampler appetizer. First of all, BEST Hummus I have ever had! The Pita bread has a taste that can't be replicated by store bought. They make all of it there and in large quantities. If you ask for more Pitta bread, they bring you more than you can eat. But beware! Don't fill up on just this! I know the mouthwatering Baba ghanoush is just too good to put down, but trust me. you will need your appetite. I ordered the lamb tandoori. I was pleasantly surprised but the best dishes I have tried there were the chicken kabobs over rice pilaf and the Sword Fish steak which was BY FAR the juiciest most tender, least dry but not undercooked delicious marinated piece of fish I have EVER had. and that is saying something as I have spent many weeks on the Atlantic and pacific coast including Alaska. I was Blown away. Another tip tho is don't let your appetite blow away your credit card limit as well. the food may be outstanding but all of these amazing flavors cost a pretty penny. Don't forget to try the Baklava as well, topped with green pistachio dust!
