" My visit to Open Sesame was a memorable evening filled with great food and friendly faces. The overall vibe in the restaurant was cozy, making you feel right at home. The service was attentive, and our server was happy to provide recommendations, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I ordered the chicken tawook, and the marinated chicken was tender and full of flavor! I was impressed with everything and determined to try their desserts on my next visit since I've heard wonderful things about the baklava. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to visit Open Sesame based on all the great reviews. The atmosphere was indeed cozy and welcoming, perfect for a dinner date. My partner and I tried the chicken tawook and the mixed grill platter. The chicken was flavorful and tender, but the mixed grill was slightly overcooked, which affected the experience. Service was attentive, but we did wait longer than expected for our food to arrive. Despite the small hiccup with the food, we genuinely enjoyed our meal and will consider giving it another go in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a single experience at Open Sesame, and let me say, it was a whirlwind of flavors! The open sesame platter was a feast for the senses. The food arrived hot and was beautifully presented. The atmosphere is filled with eclectic decorations that create a vibrant dining environment. Our server was pleasant and very knowledgeable about the menu, recommending dishes to satisfy our tastes. However, I felt that the overall portion sizes could be better given the prices, especially for the dessert I had. Still, a delightful spot that I'll surely grace again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Open Sesame for the first time last night and have to say it exceeded my expectations. The ambiance was a nice blend of casual and classy, making it feel perfect for any occasion. The service was prompt and the staff were super friendly. For dinner, I had the shawarma and my partner enjoyed the kebab platter, both of which were incredibly flavorful! I loved the homemade sauces available – they truly elevated the food. We will definitely make this a regular dining spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment we entered Open Sesame, we were enveloped by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff greeted us with smiles and genuine kindness, swiftly seating us in a cozy corner. We ordered the mezza platter, and it was a delightful introduction to their offerings! Each dish was bursting with flavor and showcased the authentic Mediterranean flair the restaurant is known for. The garlic sauce was particularly noteworthy - rich and perfectly balanced. We paired our meal with a refreshing mint lemonade, a must-try. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience that left us eager to return. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
