Authentic Iraqi food, diverse menu, delicious and nostalgic flavors, friendly staff, clean restaurant! What more could you want?

A true gem in New Jersey! This place serves the best lamb I've had in ages. The service is friendly and welcoming, creating a great atmosphere. Don't forget to try the mint lemonade!

This restaurant is frequently closed. I attempted to visit on Sunday afternoon, as well as on Monday and Friday evenings, but to no avail. I wish they would update their hours online or at least provide some information about the situation at their entrance. Ver carta

I had a fantastic lunch at this restaurant! The food was amazing, definitely deserving of a perfect 5 out of 5. The service was outstanding too, warranting another flawless score of 5. The atmosphere was lovely, providing a wonderful setting for dining; I would rate it a 5 as well. All in all, it was an exceptional experience!

Although it was only our second visit, my husband declared this his new favorite restaurant! The food is incredibly delicious and fresh; we left feeling full and already eager to return. Even the simplest dishes, like the stewed tomatoes and eggplant salad, were so delightful that I can't understand how they transform such basic ingredients! You won't be disappointed with anything you order! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Another pleasant surprise was the eggplant salad. It was a refreshing combination of mostly cucumbers and tomatoes, generously drizzled with pomegranate molasses and possibly a touch of another sweetener, all topped with tender pieces of roasted eggplant. If I had to skip something next time, it would probably be the hummus; I think there are better options available at some of the nearby Lebanese restaurants on Main Street or at the well-known Al-Basha.

The waitress was extremely friendly, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the Dawali did not align with traditional Palestinian style and was quite unappetizing; I could only manage to eat one piece, and for $20, the portion was really small. The hummus tasted like it was straight from a can and was also disappointing, especially at $8. On a positive note, the bread was enjoyable. I have a feeling that their other dishes might be better, but these two were letdowns. I do want to highlight that the waitress was delightful. Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Update 11/19/22: So far I’ve had the Dolma 3 times and sadly I won’t ever be ordering it again. First time, I really enjoyed it. It was nice and tangy and had good flavor. Second time, it was definitely a different recipe, and did not taste as good as the first time but it was edible. This most recent order was again a different recipe, did not have the same flavor as the first two times, was a lot more spicy and had some other spices in it that weren’t in jt before and the dealbreaker for us was that all of our stuffed onions were so burnt that we could not eat them and threw them out. They were burnt through to the middle, not just the outside. The grape leaves were all mushy and just hard... Ver carta
