Customer Review Summary

Food was very flavorful and goes perfectly with the side dishes. The smoked chicken is a must! My only reason to take a star off is they charge a hefty amount for using a card ($5 for a $67 bill), automatic 20% tip is crazy and no tap water, come on now. Other than that, I loved they were taking different food around and very nice staff. Would recommend, just needs some minor changes.

GREAT experience here. Quiet night but we see the potential of having large gatherings and lots of fun. The chef greeted us personally and recommended the platter that we ordered. Plenty of food with amazing flavor. We wil absolutely return. Special shout out to our server, Narmina who was super attentive and also made recommendations that completed the experience. The mint lemonade is highly addictive!!!! DO NOT skip over this one! Take your way there. You won’t be disappointed.

First time coming here. A little bit disappointed. Probably just ordered the wrong stuff because what I wanted I did not get. We were looking for a nice platter and that’s what we thought we ordered but we got a pound of brisket and fries instead. The menu can be a little confusing so just double check before ordering. Best part was the mint lemonade. Service was ok but could’ve been better. No water and automatic tip is crazy. I would not recommend the special because it’s literally a pound of brisket and fries with cheez whiz. I would get the smoked platter next time.

Ordered T-bone steak that came with 3 shrimps, sombusa, smoked lamb shoulder, a mint lemonade, a water bottle. Total with gratuity included came up to $262. Somehow it feels like we got scammed because there’s no way it could’ve came up to that much. The food was decent but definitely not worth the price.

Best middle eastern food in the area, they bring you a bunch of appetizers and sides on the house. We had the beef short ribs and they were AMAZING, get the bulgur, you won’t regret it. Staff is super nice, 10/10.
