" I initially came to Ansari's for the live music and ended up staying for the food! The atmosphere was vibrant and fun—great for a night out. I ordered the chicken shwarma, and it was simply delicious, while the garlic sauce complimented it perfectly. I also loved the fresh pita bread. Service was on point; our waiter checked in but didn’t hover. I'll absolutely recommend this place to others, especially those looking for good Mediterranean food with a lively vibe. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Ansari's was less than stellar. Although the server was friendly, it took too long to receive our orders. When the food finally arrived, it wasn't what I had expected. The chicken shawarma lacked flavor and was a bit dry. Additionally, the side rice felt like it was just reheated and not freshly made. I did enjoy the atmosphere, and the decor was nice, but for a Mediterranean restaurant, I expected more authentic flavors. I would consider returning, but I would hope for improvements. " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my mother to Ansari’s for a birthday dinner and it was fantastic! The staff were super friendly and even arranged a dessert for my mom on the house. We started with the mezze platter, which was plentiful and delicious. I enjoyed the lamb chop and it was cooked perfectly—seasoned and juicy. The atmosphere was a nice blend of family-friendly and classy. Highly recommend this place for a special occasion! We will definitely be returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my family to Ansari's for our weekly dinner, and we had a lovely experience. The children enjoyed the variety of options, and the belly dancing was a hit! We tried the sampler platter, and it was packed with flavors from the different dishes. My personal favorite was the spicy hummus, which was out of this world! The place was lively, with a mix of tables and booths, creating a comfortable atmosphere. I will keep coming back for the consistent quality of food and service. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I stumbled upon Ansari's while looking for a spot to have dinner after a hectic day. We found the place to have a cozy atmosphere, which was perfect after a long day. The server was friendly, though a bit slow with our drinks. I ordered the vegetarian platter, which was quite generous and an excellent selection of flavors. The falafel was crispy, but the tahini was a bit watery for my taste. All in all, I had a lovely experience, and I look forward to returning, especially for some live belly dancing that I hear they have on weekends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Ansari's with a big group last night, and we had a fantastic time! The food was plentiful, and we tried nearly everything on the menu. The lamb shank was divine, and the falafel was perfectly fried. Our server was very friendly and helped us navigate the menu easily. The atmosphere was busy but cheerful, with music adding to the experience. I can't recommend this place enough; I'm already planning another visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to Ansari's many times, and each time, I look forward to their chicken shawarma! The portions are decent and the flavor is always top-notch. They even remember my usual order! The atmosphere can get a bit loud on weekends, but it adds to the lively dining experience. I've never had a dull moment there. Make sure to stop by for their amazing baklava—it’s a treat!
