Charm galore! Quaint space with limited seating, but I dare you to find somewhere else in town so bursting with character. Dumplings and malawach featured on the menu, excellently prepared with fresh ingredients. Service was friendly and excellent. They have a play table for kids, and delightful music rolling on an old turntable. Definitely worth the visit. Cash only

Located on Regent, we didn't have any trouble finding parking. We were greeted by friendly Kandra, who was making some jewelry while one other duo ate. She chatted with us, sat us down with waters, and oriented us to the menu. This place should be filed under Hidden Gems. Came here on a Saturday night around 7 with a girlfriend after stumbling upon it on Yelp, and it was all kinds of delightful.

This is officially my new favorite place in Madison. Love the cozy vibe, great service, and incredible food. Very eclectic!
