Food: Innovative flavors disappoint in size
Kismet has been applauded for the innovative charm in their cuisine with dishes such as the Fried Cauliflower and Flakey Bread stealing the limelight. Their use of familiar ingredients to craft exceptional dishes displays a level of culinary creativity admired by many. Also noteworthy is the care and quality that go into ensuring ingredients are fresh. However, the diner's enthusiasm is quickly dampened by the incredibly small portions and lack of value for money.

Bad Variety
Limited options restrict dietary diversity, detracting from dining experience.

Vibe: Mesmerizing niche with a loud hum
Exuding calm, homey, and cozy vibes created by beautifully thought out details, Kismet excels in setting the mood. It’s touted as a perfect spot for romantic nights, and its trending status adds a lively buzz. But, the loud and annoying music does disrupt the pleasant dining atmosphere.

The restaurant accommodates large groups and offers a great range of diet-friendly options.

It's also not a place you would consider child-friendly due to reports of passive-aggressive treatment.
