"I feel badly writing a negative review during these times when COVID has hit everyone so hard. But what I got at Poki Cat was vile. The scallops were partially dried-out and smelled and tasted fishy, and some of the salmon was obviously older than the rest and had a slimy texture. There were bones in the salmon, as well as a good bit of connective tissue. The salad greens had begun to go brown. On top of all that, they weigh the fish scooped into the bowl, and I suppose there was very slightly too much in my bowl because they scooped exactly one piece of salmon back. Honestly, I will never go back because I 've never had anything but excellent food at PokeBar, which is right around the corn...

I was very excited for this place. Don’t get me wrong the staff was super nice but man the fish here isn’t fresh at all! My spicy tuna was like purple pink. Iv never seen tuna that color and the salmon was super tuff…. Salmon tough….. salmon is supposed to be opposite. they had rice that wasn’t cooked all the way. The sauces offered sounded good but wow it was a dissapointed on how much they don’t season it. I spent $50 bucks…… what a waste.

I love that they accepted an order for pick-up. Person who answered was super friendly and patient. I only had so much time to grab lunch. My food was ready within 5 minutes. I ordered a regular bowl. The portions were a bit small but was made up with flavor and tastiness. I asked for sesame seed oil and yum! I definitely tasted the sesame seed oil especially on the salad. I’d definitely return, especially for lunch. Would recommend for anyone who wants a simple tasty lunch/dinner.

"Aside from loving the food itself, Middle Eastern food is usually a joy for me because there is so much that I, as a vegetarian, can eat. The food we sampled at Ammatoli was excellent, aside from one flaw. The flaw as that the spinach in the otherwise marvelous Spinach Kibbeh was still frozen inside. That should never happen at a restaurant of this quality, especially when their somewhat expensive dishes are justified by that quality. However, the mistake with the kibbeh is not the reason for a mediocre review. It is because, for a vegetarian, it's way too expensive. The three mezza dish, which we ordered, costs $29, which is a sort of a deal when you consider that each mezza is about $14 separately. The portions are modest, so for a normal person who happens to be vegan or vegetarian to have a full meal, it would cost $50 $60. And I'm talking about a meal of chickpeas, eggplant, bulgar. For about $30, on the other hand, an omnivore will have chicken or salmon for a dollar less $28 or lamb for a few dollars more, and that includes two sides: like hummas, which, in the mezza plate, comes to $9.33 per item. $9.33 for two spinach kibbehs, served under cooked. I'm comparing items on the dinner menu for simplicity; but we actually ate during the Happy Hour, which reduced the 3 mezza plate from $29 to $22. How about an actual vegetarian plate with an assortment of 5 or 6 items and a few olives and sticks of pickled beets, with smaller portions than the mezza plate but something that overall is comparable as a meal to what omnivores are offered. A pity that a restaurant that could so easily be vegan and vegetarian friendly is not."
