"tldr: 10/10 amazing arabic food. first of all the cook is an Iraqi chef, who speaks four languages. clearly he has traveled far wide, therefore, he knows his flavors SO well. we had multiple conversations during our lunch and were pleased to learn that he makes everything in-house by hand, even the lemonade. the hummus is delicious complex. the pita is hot fresh. even the rice, which most establishments leave plain, has hints of saffron and sumac. the falafel was crispy on the outside, and pillowy on the inside. the baklava is soft to bite and has a lovey aromatic finish. out of all the mediterranean/ middle eastern food in the area, this is by far the BEST. every element was made to perfection. i cannot recommend this place more."
