Kismet

For Mediterranean cuisine Kismet fits the bill. A quaint, smaller spot that serves up fresh and refined Mediterranean dishes. Family style is the move so come with friends and family you don't mind sharing with. I would say the dishes are certainly smaller so recommend 3 people max per any dish or it becomes a single bite for each. The crispy rice is a signature and delicious. The flaky bread was arguably the best item of the night and closely followed by the chicken, as well as the sweet potatoes. The service was attentive and collaborative for dishes hitting the table. Keep in mind, beer and wine only and some mock tails for those taking night off from the alcohol. Highly recommend, something for everyone. Keep in mind it's slightly cost + and our bill was ~$375 for 6 people.

Lemony Chicken Pies 5/5-Love the bit of dill on top which adds depth to the dishFlaky Bread 4/5-Texture is great but a little too oily and one note in tasteFlat Iron Steak 3/5-Its good with the anchovy but the steak by itself was under-seasoned

Cute spot located on a lively street with a great community feel. As someone familiar with authentic Mediterranean food, but who also appreciates fusion and fun takes I found Kismet's take on certain things interesting.The tadig was very buttery, good, but very buttery. Like if you tried to eat the entire plate yourself you would not feel well buttery. I wish there was some sort of stew on the menu that could be paired with it.

Very disappointing. The chicken sandwich was a subpar, over-fried $22 cutlet with a pickly "special sauce". The brioche bun was lack-luster as well. I've had better chicken sandwiches at fast food establishments. The $5 latte was incredibly watery and one-note. You are definitely paying for the nice environment and Aēsop soap in the bathroom. Staff were friendly and service was quick, but unfortunately the food was overpriced and just not great.

I loved everything here. The food was incredibly fresh and creative. The malawach and sweet potato dishes were the highlight for me.

Amazingly tasty food (and some of the smelling dishes we have had all year)! Our favorites were the Persian crispy rice with the egg yolk inside, the roasted maitake mushroom and the incredible spiced carrots. We had an early meal due to having a show at the Greek, and the staff were very accommodating. Our dishes came out lickety split! We had a total of four small dishes, but we're surprisingly full with leftovers to spare.

I've frequented Kismet Rotisserie in the past and was very excited to try the sit-down restaurant. This place is more formal and more veggie-forward, but the menu is more quirky and varied. The marinated feta came with delicata squash that literally melted in my mouth and the little gem salad was fresh and exciting. The tahdig was yum but nothing super special, but the sweet potatoes were genuinely the best sweet potatoes I've ever had. Highly recommend for both meat eaters and vegetarians!

I called for a last minute reservation...wasn't told they were doing a steakhouse pop-up for the next month until we sat down and got the menu. Then we got upsold more food than we needed by a pushy waiter. Steak was fine, but the pricing is quite high for what it is. Also, the lighting and ambiance needs a refresh - feeling stale.

4++ Middle Eastern-centric / inspired restaurant. Awesome space and vibe at this place. It's not huge but feels really nice and cozy. Great/ friendly service as well, the plates/dishes here are meant to be shared. It was recommended that we ordered about two plates per person. When we sat we got some delicious olives and ordered some wine. I'm terms of food, we ordered: the fried cauliflower, the lemony chicken & pine nut pies, the taghdig (Persian crispy rice), pork collar steak, and black cod. I thought all the food was prepared very well and loved the tahdig. In terms of the proteins, I enjoyed the cod more than I did the pork. I know this is all supposed to be shareable, but it did feel a little on the pricey side for the portions. It is a nicer place so there's that. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed my experience and meal and totally recommend this place. Met up with a couple of friends in the middle of the week and thought this place would be fun. Came here with no reservations and was able to be seated outside, no problem. I thought the table was a fun spot and had potential for some fun people watching during the day.It is a busy part of town, so parking can be a little tough. Since we came here in the middle of week (at night), we were able to find street parking pretty easily.

The food was delicious, the service was excellent, extremely helpful wait staff. I highly recommend this restaurant.
