    About the Business

    Little Rascal With a multicolor wood entrance way, a date-night-ready low-candlelit interior (seriously, that Tina Fey movie is at its best when you can barely see it), and a bar slinging pitchers of sangria, this Middle Eastern spot will get your face full of mezes like housemade Turkish pickles and mains including baby lamb chops, plus octopus casseroles just like mom used to make.

      Um. Wow. This was delightful. I ordered the "grilled artichoke". It was grilled hearts, "sautéed" Fava beans, preserved lemon, blood orange, flat leaf parsley, mint, arugula. DE-lightful. Light yet filling. So good. The owners are charming the bartenders are fantastic. Will be back. Prolly tomorrow.

      Came here to try the food. The appetizers weren't that good. Lamb chops and lamb entree were okay. The best thing they had was the chicken brochette was the best thing on their menu. I would only come back for the chicken brochette. The other things on menu were okay. I would recommend here to try. Their baklava is not bad. The pomegranate helps balance the sweetness level.

      This place had been on my list for a while. I was in the area after a work event and decided to go.

      I sat at the bar at the staff was amazing they took care of me really well.

      The portions here are pretty big so I do recommend sharing.

      I ordered the cauliflower and the chicken dish. I also had an amazing Martini.

      The vibes are dope for a date night, friends dinner or even for clients.

      Cool ambiance, but when we arrived there was only one other table with patrons and it and very hard to get server's after they delivered the food and drinks. The kebab was tough, portions are small and they were not very attentive. Never came back to check on the meal, offer us more drinks or even dessert!

      Came here with two friends last week, one of whom has always lOVED little rascal. She's right to love it -- attentive but not overbearing staff (let us sit outside for a longggggg time), food wonderful -- we had the halloumi appetizer, cauliflower, meatballs, and eggplant. Lovely restaurant, lovely environment.

      Went for brunch, everything we ordered tasted like the chef forgot to add any salt. Would not come back

      Service was really good. The food was also really good but a different pallet of taste and then I'm used to. I got the lamb kebabs, the flavor of the meat was very good and the temperature was perfect. This would be a good spot for a date. Cute vibes

      Walked by and was able to get a seat right away even though they were busy. The service was great and our waitress Rachel was very friendly and attentive with us and other tables. The chicken dish was full of flavor we had to order another plate of it. Drinks were on point overall 10/10

      I wanted to like this much more than I did...walked by yesterday and it looked like a cozy, bumpin place, came in today, very quiet but still cozy. Server was very sweet, but the vibe was a bit off...no one asked how my food was (I sat at the bar), and there was no conversation other than me trying to make conversation (very few people here), so it felt...very awkward. Babaganoush was delish, very smoky, and the presentation was beautiful, but the zucchini pancakes (a recommendation) were burnt (I was only able to eat the inside, not the crust). A shame given the almost $20 price for 3 small pieces (of burnt pancake). Surprisingly the spreads are served with fresh bread (delicious) not pita, but it was a good accompaniment to the eggplant. As a vegetarian, I don't think I'll be back for the food but maybe a drink with a friend sometime.
