Nobody answers the phone and hours are not as posted on the internet. We have tried to eat here several times, even tried calling ahead to ensure they are open or to place a pick up order. Nobody answers the phone despite several calls. They also need to get a website as the hours listed online are not when they are actually open. As I am writing this on April 9th, I am sitting in their back parking lot. It says online they are open online, however it’s after noon and the door is locked and I’ve called 4 times and nobody answers. Same thing occurred on April 1st.They would get a lot more customers if they posted accurate hours online, answered their phones, and organized online take-out ordering. They seem to be living in the stone-age and must be losing a ton of business because of it. We have not tried the food before and wanted to place a large family order. After driving from the North East twice and arriving to then being closed, I’m giving up. Very frustrating.In response to the reply: clearly whichever sign you claim is at the store is not visible or obvious as we have been to the door twice and nobody saw it. As I mentioned, investing in a website and posting actual hours on it would be good business practice, as not to waste people’s time. Another good business practice would be to have voicemail message stating that the restaurant is closed, rather than just never answering the phone all month. Very unprofessional. Also, Ramadan is the time when most restaurants, Muslim owned, make and sell a lot more food. Everyone else works and fasts so I’m not sure why that piece of information is relevant.

Food was decent.Atmosphere is not the best, tv with news about terrorist attack, general discomfort, not the most cozy placeService is a nightmare - ended up paying $5 extra because waitresses do not speaks English. They brought us a soup which we didn’t order, which was with meat - we are pescetarian(no meat), so barely touched it, but was charged anyway.The owner of the restaurant was nice, but in general experience is 3 out of 5

Drove from far and asked about chicken leg meals for me and my family and when we arrived they said they only have two chicken legs so we did take out and then we had to go somewhere else to buy dinner and takeout there was no fork no sauce as well so we had to look for forks somewhere 2 chicken leg and plain rice 42 $!!!!!! Really bad terrible so disappointing.
