I saw 4.7 rating on google and decided to give this restaurant a try. Over all 0 out of 10 for 3 main reasons; Terrible food, service and cleanliness.I ordered the beef kebab platter with rice and hummus. Kebab was over cooked and extremely chewy and tasted weird(old). Hummus was runny, tasted old and had a weird consistency. Tahini tasted like it was spoiled. I puked right away. Rice was the only thing which was edible.Service was below average, owner needs to work on hiring friendly employees or manager.It looked like an average middle eastern restaurant combined with grocery store. I initially went there to sit down and eat but I changed my mind because the restaurant smelled like its drains/sewer were backed up or open. I should’ve left right away but I still got the food since i placed the order.I hope they work on the over all quality of the restaurant. Even if the service isn’t great, if the food is tasty I’d go back. That was not the case here, I will not be coming back.

If you enjoy authentic food from the middle east then this place is ideal. The menu is somewhat americanized but it still keeps traditional pairings. Dine in or take out. Their baklava is amazing.

I woke up close to this place so once a week I go to this restaurant. The food is great and the service is excellent! People that work there are really nice!

Let me start of this by saying this place is a fine dine! The place is clean, the ambience is nice, the tables are clean, the waiters are nice, and they also have a grocery store attached! I recommend trying their Chicken Shawarma Platter! They also have great music playing. Not a long time wait for food either. The decor is okay too!

Very solid middle eastern food at very reasonable prices. Fattoush was just ok, but all of the meat dishes were excellent. Very generous portions as well.
