Our Guestbook
“ I loved everything here. The food was incredibly fresh and creative. The malawach and sweet potato dishes were the highlight for me. ”
“ 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! ”
“ 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. ”
“ The brunch was divine ! Great service and a lovely vibe, as always. Kismet is a gem in our city. ”
“ Lemony Chicken Pies 5/5 -Love the bit of dill on top which adds depth to the dish Flaky Bread 4/5 -Texture is great but a little too oily and one note in taste Flat Iron Steak 3/5 -Its good with the anchovy but the steak by itself was under-seasoned ”
“ 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. ”
“ Finally made it here. What a wonderful restaurant. On every level: food, wine, atmosphere, service...and that incredible chocolate cake for desert. No clue why it took me so long, but Kismet is brilliant. Thank you, will be back. ”
“ 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. ”
