Hakim was wonderful! He brought his daughter to help him as well, and they were very pleasant to have over. The food was sooooooo good! I could tell from the getgo when he presented his menu options that he had a lot of really interesting dishes I hadn't had before, plus some familiar ones. We got a blend of new and familiar items, and were very happy with our choices! Plus, he did it all gluten free for my gluten-intolerant wife! Amazing experience, and Chef Hakim is highly recommended!

Chef Hakim was very professional and his food was delicious!! Would highly recommend Chef Hakim!! 5 Star ... all the way around!!
