" Visited Kismet Mediterranean Grill for the first time and was beyond satisfied! From the starters to the entrees, everything was more than fulfilling and tasty. The staff was attentive and took their time to answer questions about the menu. The atmosphere was inviting and relaxing. I will undoubtedly be recommending this to family and friends for their next Mediterranean meal. Overall, a fabulous experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to Kismet was impressive! The variety of Mediterranean dishes on their menu was remarkable. I opted for the vegetarian platter, which was colorful, fresh, and delightful! The service was attentive and accommodating, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere is relaxed, making it a perfect spot for lunch with friends or a casual dinner. I’ll be recommending this restaurant to everyone I know! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Kismet wasn't entirely what I expected. The food was enjoyable, yet I felt that some dishes lacked the authenticity I hoped for based on previous reviews. The moussaka was good but not what I typically enjoy; it was layered differently than what I thought. The service staff were quite attentive, and the ambiance was warm, making for a comfortable dining experience. I would consider giving them another try in the future, just to see if it was a one-off. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't overly impressed with Kismet. The food was decent, but I've had much better Mediterranean dishes elsewhere. The dolmas were nice, but the falafel lacked seasoning—a bit disappointing overall. Their service was great, and I appreciated the friendly atmosphere, but the food lacked the authenticity I was hoping for. I might be hesitant to return again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for my visit to Kismet, but my experience was just okay. While the ambiance was nice and the service was friendly, the food didn’t seem to live up to the authentic Mediterranean standard I’ve come to expect. I found the falafel undercooked, and the moussaka was an unusual interpretation that didn’t suit my taste. I might give them another chance, as not every visit can be perfect, but I left feeling slightly disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kismet Mediterranean Grill met all my expectations! The shish kebab was grilled to perfection, and the flavors were spot on! The wait staff was attentive and made excellent recommendations. The ambiance was delightful for an evening out, making us feel special. I also appreciated the authenticity of the flavors; coming from a Mediterranean background, it’s rare to find such dishes outside their home region. A splendid experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kismet European Grill was a pleasant surprise. The shish kebab was juicy, and the spices made it authentic. However, there was a small wait time despite an empty table. The servers were friendly, and the place had a comfy feel. I liked the menu variety but wished to see more vegetarian options. Overall, a good choice for Mediterranean food. " (*Curated Review*)
