Was over charged $25 dollars. We bought lamb chops over rice which was supposed to be $34.00 also lamb leg over rice &29.00 over rice with a side middle eastern &7.00 salad. With one tea and soda. We were charged $96.00.. plus we tipped the waiter $7.00. We knew that we were over charged and have the receipt to prove it. It's just sad how a 4.8 rated restaurant isn't being honest about pricing. Not to mention the waitress giving the check to m e stating "The woman should pay" I brushed it off as a joke but as a new customer I was quite embarrassed and offended that he would say such a thing. We will never come back again. Judging from the microwaved rice and lamb that sums it up all up for me.

Amazing experience, from food to service spot on! Manager Ali, servers are all very courteous and to top it off the food is absolutely tasty. We ordered mixed grill and Kabsa. Meat was tender and juicy, and the humus is best I had in a while. I'm definitely going to be a regular customer.

Food was tasty with ample portion. However the service was abysmal. We sat down and it took the waitress 15 minutes before they came by to take the order. They barely came back to check on us, even after food was delivered.Ordered a soda and was brought a warm can, no glass, no ice. I had to wait a further 15 minutes to get waitress to come by to ask for such.Meat was overcooked and within an inch of its life(lamb chops and the chicken in our mixed grill platter.Ordered baklava sundae dessert and it arrived completely frozen(not thawed baklava included) and was most definitely not made fresh. Waist of money and was tasteless and the baklava mushy from being frozen and improperly served.Place was not busy as it was after lunch hours, only two other tables seated.I would not recommend if in a rush or looking for good service.

I’ll start with the food. Everything we had was very good! We had leftovers, portions were fine.Unfortunately, first impressions almost turned us away. Half of the long weed filled grass was cut and half not . Grass was covering all the sidewalks and was raining. Never even blew off what they cut?Went in, grass covered mat ,looked fine. inside , service very ,very slow and three different people waited on us. Took LONG.There seems to be lots of thriftiness , sloppy outside, cheap spray painted signs and connect the dots decor in hallways and restrooms, also spray painted, very childish work.I am glad I went to the restroom after we ate, completely filthy, dirty. Urinal covered and not sure why they have no towels in the dispenser just a portable air dryer?Some contraption on the toilet too?They did not take any time or pride to put in to this restaurant before they opened another one?It’s a shame the food is very good and the restaurant does not give you that feeling at all.For these reasons no one in our party will come back.How stupid are the people responsible for automatically billing 15 percent for partys of 2 to 5.I had 20 percent ready for them ?Can’t believe people would not tip for the quality of food, if atmosphere would support this restaurant.On the receipt it states recommend tip3 percent, 5 percent, 10 percent? ?Never seen billing like this?You are not in New York here!Trash laying in the parking lot among the long grass and weeds.Two desserts they were out of.The knaffee hardly had and syrup at all, was average.Forget about selling merchandise and fancy bags and boxes and spend some $$ for professionals to clean this place up!

Can’t wait to come back already. We ordered the Khyar Ma Laban as an appetizer which went really well with the pita-like bread. For entrees, we got the beef kebab and mixed grill. The garlic sauce (which I think normally comes with the chicken) was amazing. Excited to come back to try other dishes next time!

Excellent Mediterranean food. Maybe the best on town. Service was super slow. Also they have a sun coming through the windows issue in the evening. It's hot and blinding.
