From the first step into Kismet, you are greeted with attentive, warm service. I was hoping to introduce my dinner guest to a flavorful, fun experience before a show and that is what we received. Everything we ordered was dynamic and fresh, especially the stuffed grape leaves and baklava. The passion Kismet has for food is obvious and the experience truly stands out amongst the rest of what Burlington's restaurants have to offer.

I've traveled all over and I have never had such an amazing experience like I did at kismet. The food was phenomenal, service was beyond the best and the atmosphere felt so classy but casual at the same time. It was me and my husband and we definitely could have spent less but couldn't miss the opportunity to get an amazing appetizer and dessert! Wish I had gotten pictures of those but couldn't help myself but to dive in. Added more from our second round! Yuuuum!

Very elegant individual place settings, with attentive service and an extensive menu. Vegetarian, and vegan options are available as well. Parking is on the street with lots of public parking areas as well. Views of the lake are possible, and this would make a nice romantic location for a great meal. Dinners from 20, appetizers average 8, desserts from 9. Local beers are served as well as cocktails, wine, cocktails and other n/a items too. Enjoy-

Came here with family for appetizers/light lunch during a walking tour of the city and it was great! Everything had very unique and fantastic flavors - the hummus, the baba Ganoush, everything was a blast of flavor! For me the cold soup stole was the highlight, it is very creamy and refreshing, and I’ll have to come back for more. The ambiance of the place is great, the staff is very attentive and will keep your water cup full, and everything on their menu looks great. I do not think one can go wrong with this place and I’m looking forward to exploring their dinner and lunch options more!
