It’s good place to goWe order food and hookahOne hookah was good the other one was fineWe got also mansaf and kabseh and hummus with lambKabasah it doesn’t taste like kabseh!!Mansaf was fine not too good but fineHummus was good I like it but the lamb with was fine just hummus itself goodClean and big placeA lot of customers there if you like quiet place this’s not a good oneCustomer service was good but you have to keep asking for your things to bring it to youOverall it was good

The service was absolutely horrific. The shorter female whom brought out my salad was demeaning and impolite. She failed to bring any silverware or plates out, immediately left the salad and ran off. The wait for anyone to serve you is quite tedious as well, at one point, I wasn’t sure if I needed to order from the front of the store. What seemed to be my main server, she was kind, regardless, very curt all around and without any manners. Regardless, I ordered the rest to go as I was running late for an even, still tipped 18% on the entire bill. I wouldn’t recommend coming here if you’re wanting to be treated as a person. The food was good, however, terrible service, not worth it. Great food can be found anywhere. Best of luck cheers.

I ordered the chicken shawarma platter with salad. The flavor on both were good...too salty for my liking. My two issues were that the chicken was very oily, it completely soaked the bread and left a pool of oil. Also the whole meal was overpriced.

I've been wanting to go to this place for years, but since I moved a little further away I kept postponing...until I finally got there about two months ago and then I retried it soon after, because it was soooo gooood!The first time I went there, I tried the buffet serving, I am not sure whether that option is always available or whether it was just for a specific period of time. The food is really amazing! I only took pictures the second time, it was a Eggs Bil Na'anil pan, served with pita bread. First of all you'll notice how beautiful and inviting the plate looks. It was so nicely flavorful, light and delicious. Creamy with some crunchy touch. Pita bread was abound at, so I didn't even finish it because I was super full. I don't remember exactly what I ordered the first time, but the buffet was full of different options (vegetarians and non). Baklava was great! Next time I'd like to go try their pizza as well, as it looks great on the menu. Server was very nice, and in general I've always felt kindly welcomed and professionally taken care of. Sitting at the side porch, people around generally smoke Hookah, which I don't mind at all, but if you are sensitive to it, just ask to be seated inside.

One of my goto places when in the area. The food is good, authentic and so is the atmosphere. The hookah is satisfying as well. I would recommend it if you’re around. It sometimes gets busy but the service doesn’t lax.
