I truly cannot express how wonderful of a gem the Spot is. Bobby, vic and the entire staff operate on a level most business aspire to yet do not attain.

The service and staff were warm and welcoming, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere. I ordered the Sultani kabobs—while the Koobideh lacked flavor and didn’t meet my expectations in terms of quality, the Barg was noticeably better and more enjoyable. The complimentary tea refills were a thoughtful touch, and the portion sizes were generous—easily enough for two people. Both the salad and rice were fresh and satisfying. It’s worth noting that many guests seemed to come primarily for the hookah and tea, which adds to the laid-back, social vibe of the place. The place is open until midnight and
