"The service was absolutely terrible. The restaurant was nearly empty and had a dismal atmosphere, with stained chair cushions and peeling paint on the walls. The worst part was the waiter, who clearly seemed unhappy. He made us wait to be seated while he served customers outside, and only came back a few minutes later to show us to one of the many empty tables. After taking our orders, we waited 40 minutes without any sign of our appetizers or food. To make matters worse, the waiter passed by us multiple times without acknowledging the long wait. Meanwhile, he was busy fulfilling online orders and other tasks while we sat there in disbelief. This place has no place in the service industry. They should just close their doors to dine-in customers and operate exclusively as an overpriced takeaway."

The prices are too high, so make sure to double-check your bill because they might charge you for more than what you ordered. The service was very disappointing, and we were the only customers there.

Incredible Mediterranean cuisine! I've tried many different Mediterranean dishes, and this food is truly authentic. Fatima was an outstanding waitress. I absolutely love this place—definitely the best of the best! View menu

I went to this restaurant for a food pickup, and they told me it would be ready at 5:23. We arrived right on time but ended up waiting 30 minutes, even though our food was sitting on the countertop. We repeatedly gave our name to the waitress with black hair, but it didn't seem to help.

We dined at the restaurant and had an outstanding experience. The food was excellent, and the service was exceptional. The restaurant manager demonstrated great professionalism, and our server, Fatima, was fantastic. Her warm smile made us feel truly welcome. Overall, we rate the food, service, and atmosphere all as a perfect 5. View menu

We started with the Cauliflower appetizer and Kibbie, which turned out to be the best I’ve ever tasted. To my surprise, the Cauliflower was equally impressive—perfectly seasoned and fried. For my main course, I opted for the Tawook Chicken while my wife chose the Beef Shawarma. Both dishes were excellent and came with rice, hummus, grilled tomato, and either soup or salad. The chicken was served with an amazing garlic sauce, and the beef shawarma came with a tahini sauce that complemented the meat beautifully. The service, the food, and the overall ambiance of the restaurant were delightful. I highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Middle Eastern cuisine.
