The space is all about smell. Large burlap bags of various spices are hung from the ceiling, allowing a sweet aroma to take over the enclosed space. There is a mirror above the spice bags that allow patrons to see the reflection of the spices from their seats. The room seats 75. There is a large banquette covered in distressed brown leather placed around the right side of the room. The tables and chairs are all mahogany.

Despite the wacky concept, this friendly neighborhood restaurant has a lot to recommend it: supportive service, an owner that mixes with the customers and runs a neat ship, pleasant atmosphere and , wonder-of-wonders, order right and you’ll a have a very good meal.
