“Amazing location with delicious food and the friendliest staff!”

Have been here a few times now and can confidently say that the food is consistently fantastic, the atmosphere is warm and laid back, and the staff/owners are the best people. Everything we’ve ordered has been top notch, good quality, and served with warmth and good cheer. We have particularly enjoyed the chicken skewers, the kibbeh, the beef kafta, and the tabbouleh. The prices are very fair for the quantity and quality of food they serve. And again, the staff and owners are genuinely the nicest folks and they take pride in their restaurant. Highly, highly recommend!

Went there for the first time, didn't know what to get since there are alot on the menu. Chef recommended me half&half plate and it was very fresh and delicious. Most importantly it wasn't just the quality of food!

Our server (Muad?) was super friendly, caring, and helped us pick exactly what we wanted. Best service and vibes. My only suggestion is the food might need little more Mediterranean / arabic taste

My wife and I had a delightful time here. The place was an older style place, but tasteful, clean, and bright. All of the staff seemed like they were eager to be kind and welcoming. Their enthusiasm for the food was contagious. They gave us a couple of things to sample. We like the food enough to give it five stars. At the same time, I would have to say that I have had chicken shawarma that I thought was a bit better, but their beef shawarma was the best I've ever had. The portions were generous. They brought us a lentil soup while we were waiting, and it was very good. We definitely want to g
