The food was really good! The best part was that the bread was freshly made and was piping hot, so fresh, soft, and absolutely delicious. The whole dish came together really really well. Portions are generous and at a very affordable price. Enjoyed the meal! I am only giving 4 and not 5 because the hummus (kinda the hero of the meal) could be improved. It was good, but could be much much better. Service was alright and the atmosphere was okay too. Will go back only for the food. PS: I also took away a zaatar and it was great as well.

Utterly delicious with massively generous portions & very reasonable prices. Smoky babaganoush, soft tender grilled whole chicken & soft lamb shawarma meat. My first order will certainly not be my last. Yummmmm.

Ioved the food. It’s authentic Arabian ! But the waitress was very grumpy and you can see she doesn’t like what she does ! I would rather have an average food with a smile !
