Fantastic food! Great service! My first time here and this is now an instant favorite "I'll be back"!!! The lamb was outstanding. The Baba Ghannouj, my first time, is "shut the front door " delicious!!! If you're in the area and want a totally sensory experience, this is the place!!!

Always consistent, always great food & atmosphere, Open Sesame is a land mark of our beautiful city Belmont Shore. (Please start making your own Fresh Bread, the pitas you use are the only not so good thing)
