My sister had eaten at Enjoni once before (though she and her friend were the only customers in the cafe at the time) and recommended we go there for dinner. We were wonderfully greeted at entry by a woman I believe was one of the owners and it took about 10 minutes to get seated. During that time, another couple was seated before us. There was one waitress working with the person who greeted us helping out. We waited about 15 minutes before the waitress came and took our order, the other couple who sat before us had to track the waitress down to get their order taken after about 25 minutes of sitting at their table. It took an additional 45 (YES 45) minutes just to get our drinks served to us after asking the waitress 3 different times, and it wasn't anything complex, just some tea and a coke. We ordered hummus and that came before the drinks, it was delicious. We were offered more pita bread but then the waitress ended up bringing it to another table. Staff was incredibly disorganized, jumping from one table to the next with no consistency. Rather than serving current customers, it seemed the waitress' priority was to bus empty tables. When our entrees finally arrived 1.5 hrs later, most of them were quite tasty although I ordered the lamb tibs mild and it was incredibly spicy. It was also overcooked, tough and had bone fragments/cartilage in it. My sister, a vegetarian, loved the beets but her food was also too spicy for her. We were all incredibly frustrated with the service and questioned if we should leave many times. Also, in the menu the hummus stated it was 4.95 but we were charged 7.95 for it, we didn't dispute because we wanted to get out of there ASAP. Enjoni would really benefit from hiring a busperson or additional server, more front-of-house help was definitely needed. Also, the same song was looping over and over the entire time we were there. Variety in music would have been nice. Very disappointing, given the great reviews. We wont eat here again
Pros: Nice restaurant decor, friendly greeting upon entry, good pita and hummus
Cons: Service, organization, quality of meat, song repeating itself
