Customer Reviews
Awesome vibes, but the food is slightly mixed. Came on a Tuesday night, party of 2 with a 9 PM reservation. We were greeted, seated quickly, and loved the intimate and cozy interior. Our server was very kind in explaining the options and checking for dietary restrictions. The food was, for the most part, good but quite salty. - The Black Sea cornbread is worth all the hype: textures are superb, and the cornbread is so unique with a cheesy, savory filling with a beautiful sweet/salty balance. - BBQ duck was also a standout. Comes on a long skewer and is super tender. The BBQ glaze is very balanced paired with the fruity sauce. Everything else was quite salty and underwhelming. The latkes tasted reminiscent of a salty hashbrown, the scallops were cooked very nicely but lacked flavor. Th
I truly believe all the praise Sarma receives is super well deserved. Our expectations were dangerously high going in and Sarma exceeded on all fronts! The food, drinks, and service were all exceptional! Food: All the plates we ordered were all so unique and flavorful and it was such a treat exploring them. If only we had the stomachs and wallets to try everything on the menu. Our favorites were definitely the cornbread, the brussel sprouts, and the Cajun lamb kebabs. The first bite of every dish always got us perked up and excited to try more! Also the drinks we tried were a hit with everyone! Service: This was a perfect service experience! The staff checked in frequently and effectively, always quick to deliver on requests. The plates came and went so smoothly allowing you to focus on
Superb friendly service and the cornbread is layered and intricate in flavor. Would recommend the Brussels sprouts and the BBQ ducks as well, packed with concentrated and rich flavors. The lamb Manti was on the salty side, but rest are great!
All dishes were flavorful and unique! Especially enjoyed the cornbread, harissa duck, lamb sliders, asian pear salad, and lentil nachos. Octopus was on the saltier side and less standout. Service is also very speedy, hope to visit again soon
I had high expectations given all the reviews and how hard it is to book this place. It was an underwhelming experience. We had gyro bread, chicken wings, another chicken thing they bring out as a side, Brussels sprouts, lamb sliders, honey hummus. Too salty for our taste at least - we don’t drink so I am not sure if we are supposed to eat these with booze? Or maybe we didn’t order the right food? Our server was almost dismissive when we asked for recommendations - she rattled off a few dishes and seemed in a hurry in general.
