Growing up part Lebanese and Syrian I was basically raised on this type of food, so I know what I like, and my expectations were high. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and our waitress Kylie was outstanding.
For drinks I ordered a Manhattan, and my friend had a Spicey Margarita. Both were strong and delicious.
For our Appetizers we had the Calamari which was super crispy and came with an amazing sliced tomato sauce. Of course I had to get a taste of everything so the Vegetarian Plate was an absolute must. It came with so many different food items and even just the presentation alone was gorgeous. My favorites were the fried Falafel which was super flavorful, crispy, but not dry at all like many can be from other places, the Baba Ghanouge was fantastic, and the Hummus which was so smooth and some of the best Ive had. Hot bread was provided as well for dipping. Now if Im completely honest, I did not care for the Veggie Grape Leaves or the Fattoush Salad. The salad seemed a little soggy and the flavors just kind of blended together, and the Grape Leaves had much too strong of a lemon/garlic type of taste that was way too overpowering.
For our Entrees I decided on the Kibbeh Niyeh (raw lamb), which was very fresh and a large portion for the price. My friend decided to mix it up and try the Chicken Florentine. I wasnt sure a predominantly Middle Eastern style restaurant could deliver on a dish like that, but not only was the portion huge, the flavor and quality is like one youd find at a nice Italian restaurant. I was very surprised.
For Dessert we of course had to try the Tiramisu. Each bite nearly had our eyes rolling to the back of our heads. It was light but flavorful, and each bite just melted in your mouth.
If youre in the mood for good Mediterranean, I highly recommend checking this place out!

Our first and only time there, my wife and I were very pleased with everything! We'll be back when we visit with family there and bring them all along.

As a recent bride, I feel compelled to share my harrowing experience with Ikes to warn anyone who is considering planning an event here of the absolute nightmare that awaited me on what was supposed to be one of the happiest days of my life. From the moment I began planning my wedding shower at this establishment, it was a cascade of disappointment, frustration, arguing and disrespect.
Let's start with the event planner, Stephanie, who was not only unhelpful but downright rude. From the get-go, she displayed a dismissive attitude, making me feel like an inconvenience rather than a valued customer. The level of unprofessionalism was astounding. She knit picked every single thing and was unwilling to work with me because I am a vegetarian. I literally had to fight her on getting myself served a vegetarian option.
On the morning of my shower, the tables were adorned with yellow-stained, dirty, and wrinkled tablecloths. My bridesmaids had to scramble to purchase replacement tablecloths on the morning of to replace the restaurants table cloths because they were told its all they had.
My guests were left waiting for over an hour past the scheduled time for their meals. The incompetence and lack of regard for my guests' experience were beyond comprehension.
To top it all off, when I voiced my concerns to Stephanie after the event, I was met with a dismissive remark: "I've never seen a shower go so fast, thats why the food was late". Even though, she literally told me I HAD to be out of there in 3 hours.
Its a shame that they have the rudest person I have ever dealt with running the event planning, because I do enjoy the food, but I will never give a dime to Ikes again. I DO NOT recommend.
