Today, my friends and I met at this restaurant. The restaurant was very clean, and the staff were friendly. I ordered a gyro and a drink, and the food was delicious. This is one of my favorite places, and I will definitely come back again.

This was my first introduction to Kismet and was so looking forward to the meal others recommended: the lamb dinner.

My boyfriend and I went here for dinner last night and I was more than impressed. We got the Shakshuka and the mixed platter. The lamb was the most delicious I’ve had. I sadly didn’t snap any pictures but I will next time we go! I didn’t catch the name of our hostess but she was a sweetheart. Stephanie was our waitress and she was amazing. She made the best raspberry mimosas! I swear I’m coming back with a ring. This is my new favorite place and I’m planning to bring my parents here when they come out in July

Beautiful cozy restaurant in a nice part of town. We forgot to take our server’s name but she was very friendly and helpful throughout and so were the other servers. You order anything and it’ll be tasty! Worth it!!!

Outstanding food and service!! Couldn’t be happier. We had the restaurant to ourselves for a retirement party and all the meat and veggies were prepared perfectly. Service was fantastic!

DELICIOUS soup! You have to try it even if you don’t feel like eating (and are there just to tag along with a friend bc you have nothing else to do on a Sunday morning). The mint seasoning was chef’s kiss . Strawberry mimosa was light and tasty; great for a lightweight like me but may not be boozy enough for everyone else. I wasn’t expecting much from the toast but the white bread was super tasty and definitely superior to whole wheat. Oh and the waitresses were super sweet. 🙂

The restaurant Kismet is named appropriately. This place is amazing! It has an intimate “homey” feel and the food is Absolutely Wonderful! My husband reserved a table for us for our date night and we were met with a friendly smiling waitress with the most pleasant atmosphere. We rate Kismet 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!!

A lovely cozy restaurant! Food was delicious, loved the tzatziki, which was served with pita. Shish kebab & falafel were good. Overall the ambiance and the service was very good. But we felt the food was overpriced!
