" I had dinner with a group of friends, and it was simply fantastic! The Forge was buzzing, yet we felt looked after. We tried the Rainbow platter, and honestly, it's a game changer. So many flavors to explore, and the garnishing was lovely! It's great for groups since everyone can take a bit of everything. Perfect atmosphere for just catching up with friends.

I can't rave enough about the falafel! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant feels like a secret heaven in the city! I had an incredible time enjoying their mezze selection – the baba ganoush was the best I’ve encountered. The flavors – robust, fresh, and authentic. One of my friends couldn't finish her entreé, but felt that the portions were just right for sharing. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, making it great for a fun evening out! " (*Curated Review*)

Would be suitable for both casual evenings and celebratory meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Forge is an absolute gem! The ambiance is cozy yet chic, and the Mediterranean-inspired menu will blow your mind. The hummus had the perfect creaminess, and the wood-fired pizzas were heavenly! I could eat here every weekend. Don't skip on their specialty cocktails - each one is a masterpiece. I felt like I was transported to a trendy lounge in Europe! Highly recommend for date nights or gathering with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at The Forge was a revelation. The atmosphere is enchanting, decorated thoughtfully to feel upscale yet homely. I enjoyed an assortment of small plates, including the famous falafel, which was among the best I've ever tasted. Each dish had depth of flavor, and the seasonal cocktails are delightfully inventive. If you're looking for a restaurant that delivers both in food and vibe, this is it! Can't help but return soon. " (*Curated Review*)
