I've eaten a lot of Mediterranean good and this food is disgusting. I was hesitant to even order after seeing that the menu was full of items lie cheeseburgers, french fries, chicken strips and wings. Ordered the grape leaves as an appetizer and they were completely tasteless and tough. Didn't even finish the first one. Left them on the table, paid for them and left.

Excellent service. Everything was delicious and staff was very friendly. It was their first week open since Covid so business was slow but everyone needs to stop by and enjoy this place. I would hate to see this place close.

The plant based options required some modification like removing cheese, but the staff was happy to do so! I loved the grape leaves and vegetarian moussaka'ah. The baba ganoush was creamy. However, our takeout food was served on a thin paper inside the to-go container, and after a few minutes the paper got soggy and began to disintegrate. I’d recommend not using paper at all, or putting a lettuce leaf underneath instead for decoration.

Very disappointed. Ordered chicken kabob and Greek salad each for 2 people and order of falafel to share at cost of $42. Could barely chew the bread, chicken was dry and rice was mediocre. Includes a grilled quarter of tomato and onion slice. Falafel was so salty couldn’t eat. This was a takeout order and I probably had unrealistic expectations but given the price expected more. Would not recommend.

You would not expect to find amazing Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food in WV but this gem of a restaurant is outstanding. I've been all over the Middle East and I know authentic, quality flavors and this restaurant nails it. By far the best salmon, hummus, babaghanoosh and lamb I have had in the USA and that includes NYC. I was shocked they have fried kibbeh on the menu. This is a rare treat and a specialty dish from the region the chef is from. The wait staff was excellent, the price was right and the servings were large. I have been several times before the pandemic so I don't know if they are open for takeout or not. Well worth it if you can get it.

I have been getting kabobs to go because they are so delicious, however, I have stopped going because there is a sewer smell that is really horrible inside where you have to wait for the food. I have mentioned it the last two times I've gone and all the waitresses say is that the owner is aware of it. Well I won't be going back because the smell lingers in my nose and I can't eat the food. Nasty.

I know it's specialty is middle eastern, but the cheeseburger there is really good!
Fabulous food. Good atmosphere.
Great local restaurant. Hearty portions, low prices, for quality food.
It's been around for decades and deserves a visit.
