I was going to start a new thread to rec this spot but am glad you’ve already commented.
Just want to say we just tried it for the first time tonight and had a fine time. I had the lagman – it’s lamb stew with vegetables over fresh noodles. Really liked it: hearty and perfect for cold weather. It had a really nice spice mix that tasted slightly exotic, almost vaguely Indian as if it contained garam masala. (I don’t think it does – I just don’t know how else to describe the flavor.
My older son had the aforementioned kasha – he had his with the meatballs.
Younger son had chicken kiev with fresh vegetables. I only tried the “crust” which was crunchy, but sort of light. I can only report that he raved about it and liked how when he cut into it all that butter and those herbs oozed out.
I saw many other items I’d like to try, including that bread basked with butter and fig jam. The sandwiches (only served at lunch) look tasty as does the breakfast.
Anyway, not much more to add. Just think this is a nice spot and I’d like to see it stick around.
