The food was cold and the taste was not good. It was a bad experience. I do not recommend it as a restaurant

The food was okay, nothing special. Over-priced for the cafeteria-like ambiance. Kirkland water bottles. Plastic forks for the dessert (which admittedly was quite good.) No reason to return.

This place is truly a jewel to your palate and pocketbook! Delicious food, ample serving, personal family service, and all at a fair price! The place could use some cleaning up, fresh paint, putting someone on regular bathroom detail, but that aside I do recommend this place to anyone looking for that Middle East charm!! We ordered the feast for 4, but it could easily feed 6 starving students!

What a disappointment. Overpriced food like it's some kind of nice restaurant, but they serve you like its some cheap Chinese food place. Why would you bring out the hot bread with hummus and the salad but not the main course. Lady brought us our "food" stating feast for 2 like she was done. We waited 10 minutes hoping the rest would come while our bread slab got cold and hard. She walked up and asked if we needed anything and I said yes the rest of the meal where is the meat and rice? She said it comes with the meal, and asked if we wanted more bread. I think she forgot about the rest of our meal it wasn't even busy or anything, just ignorant untimely poor service. They don't even offer a glass of water lol they charge for bottles of krikland water instead. Don't waste your time here.

They don’t ask, you, not even for permission about what you choose to tip or if you would even like to tip, automatic 10% changed and added to your total when giving your debit/credit, on top of what you already tipped at the table. Not even legal by the way, never coming back, very unfortunate.
