    Tried the filet mignon marinated in a pomegranate sauce, delicious. Always like to get their rice with cherries and shaved nuts, wonderful addition to any meal.

    I went to Komaaj last night for a birthday dinner. Just 3 of us. The food was great. Really beautiful dishes with outstanding flavors. The space is cozy with rugs and homewares. We ordered the 4-person Mazze platter, which was more than we needed for 3, but it was a taste of most of the dips. It was beautiful and tasty. We shared a bottle of wine (good menu) and 2 entrees (the chicken dish and the beef dish). Both were really delicious, tender, and flavorful. Even though the 2 entrees were not very large, we had leftovers to take home because the mazze filled us up. The only downside was a bit of confusion with the service. The gentleman taking care of us may be the owner? Though he was nice and welcoming, he wasn't very clear, and he didn't do a great job explaining the menu. We also had some confusion over whether they had beef or lamb, as some menus said beef and others lamb. I think they had both...? Though the gentleman didn't say much, he was nice. Maybe he's just shy or softspoken. I would definitely come back. I just wish the service matched the "welcome to our home" decor.
