" Open Sesame is absolutely wonderful! We went on a rainy night and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. The food was just as great as reviews suggested. I tried the falafel wrap, and I must say, it was right up there with the best I’ve had. The flavors popped! The only issue was that it was a bit noisy, especially at peak dinner time. Despite that, the staff were attentive and made sure the drinks were filled and questions answered. I left feeling very satisfied and grateful! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're craving Mediterranean cuisine, look no further than Open Sesame! My friends and I enjoyed sharing various dishes, and every single dish was delightful. The fried cauliflower was definitely the highlight. The atmosphere felt warm and inviting, though it was a bit busy. Our server was quick to help us and made solid recommendations for food and drinks that complemented our meal nicely. Portions were satisfying; we had leftovers to take home, and the flavor lingered on pleasantly after our meal! Will return soon!  " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I had a lovely dinner at Open Sesame last week. The menu was impressive with so many options, and we settled on a mix of appetizers and a main dish. The flavors were vibrant and the freshness of the ingredients stood out. I particularly enjoyed the garlic potatoes served on the side. Our server was attentive and genuinely cared about our experience, making sure we were happy with everything. Although the pricing was a bit on the higher side, it was worth every penny for the quality we received. I’d say it’s a perfect spot for date night! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Open Sesame, I finally decided to check it out. The atmosphere was lively; I loved the eclectic decor! I tried the Open Sesame platter and was blown away by how delicious everything was. The flavors were authentic, and it felt like I was indulging in a home-cooked Mediterranean meal. The service was charming and friendly, leaving no room for complaints. The portion size was also generous, making it a great spot to share with friends and family. Can’t wait to come back!

" This was my first visit to Open Sesame, and I’ll definitely be back! The food was rich with authentic spices and flavors, obtained through careful preparation. I enjoyed the lamb dish, which was tender and well-seasoned. The staff really stand out as friendly and attentive, though it did take a bit longer to receive our meal than I anticipated. The place was also well-decorated, making it a cozy spot. I think this restaurant could further benefit from a larger menu with more vegetarian options because I’d love to bring some friends along.

" I recently had dinner at Open Sesame, and I can honestly say it’s one of my new favorites! Everything tasted so authentic, especially the lamb kebabs. Just wow! The staff was extremely friendly and made great suggestions for dishes to try. The ambiance is cozy, with beautiful decor that really sets a great vibe. I also loved the dessert – baklava that was wonderfully flaky and not overly sweet. I can't wait to visit again to sample more of their rich menu. Highly recommend this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Open Sesame for a work lunch, and it was an absolute treat! The atmosphere was charming and relaxed, perfect for casual conversations. I ordered a vegetarian platter that came loaded with fresh salads and dips. The flavors were vibrant and really made my meal special. I especially loved the tabbouleh! The only drawback was the speed of service; it felt a tad slow, but the staff was friendly and accommodating. Overall, a great place to enjoy Mediterranean food. " (*Curated Review*)
