A wood-fire-focused restaurant celebrating the cuisines of the Middle East, North Africa, and the Caucasus, built around a massive central hearth that dominates the dramatic dining room. The whole roasted meats, flatbreads, and mezze are exceptional, and the communal dining format makes it ideal for groups. Reservations are notoriously hard to get — walk-ins at the bar are your best bet. The cocktail program draws on regional spirits and ingredients.
