The food was great! The lady server was very friendly, nice and accommodating. The atmosphere is not as welcoming as it could be. Dust is noticeable on the fans and ceiling vents. But, overall, a great place!!!

First time eating here, but won't be the last. I had the lentil soup and salmon plate. Both were spiced just right and portions were generous. The music and decor added to the overall ambiance and helped me enjoy the meal even more. I felt like I went on a mini vacation. ☆☆☆☆☆

I am sad to leave this review. This restaurant is unsafe. No customers inside. Both bathrooms were filthy beyond belief. We checked both the women’s room and the men’s room and both were so so gross. I’m not sure how to describe it. Basically the walls, floors, sink, and toilets were covered with grime, dirt, and fecal matter. Some may have happened today…there was poop on the outside of the women’s toilet and a puddle of pee on the floor of the men’s room. The scary part is that these germs are going to be spread throughout the restaurant and into the food and kitchen. The employees are obviously using the restroom all day and just leave it like that. Look at how many reviews mention their bathrooms, but all these months later they still have never cleaned them. The owners should take this matter seriously and pay a service to clean their bathrooms if they’re unable to. I would never come back but I do hope they can turn things around.

It's a wonderful place! The food was fresh and delicious, the service was perfect and the place is cozy and impeccable!! Absolutely recommended. Just two suggestions, improve the music and make a more visible sign. However, nothing overshadows the food and service. I will be back very soon!!

We just dined here for the first time and loved it. I had the grilled shrimp platter and my boyfriend had the falafel plate. They were both excellent! They also bring you warm pita bread and oil before dinner. If you are looking for something different give them a try!

I love visiting this restaurant. Everything is absolutely delicious. The stuffed grape leaves are great, and I always get the Turkish kebab platter while my husband goes between the gyro and the Merguez platter (spicy and flavorful Moroccan sausages). I adore their Turkish coffee and their Mint Lemonade. The prices are pretty good for the amount of food, and I usually have enough leftovers for lunch the next day.

The bathroom was absolutely disgusting and unkept. As we were ordering, the hosts and servers were mopping around us. The food was mediocre at best. Hummus was good, but everything else was a disaster. Too much olive oil and too many spices. The falafel was burnt and gross. Will not be coming back. Presentation of the food was nice.

First time we ate here. The Nabulsi fried cheese was a little salty but, we really enjoyed the Lamb Kebab Platter. The flavor was on point and the portion was a good size. We enjoyed and planning on returning.

It was our first visit here. Overall a good experience. The server was friendly. We didn't care for the Nabulsi fried cheese was salty. My husband and I both enjoyed the lamb shish kabob platter with rice. The lamb was seasoned perfectly and the portion was big.

All of the food was amazing and the service was excellent. Get the Moroccan green mint tea with any meal you order there.
