Great place. The food is delicious. I love that they have little plates of different things as you will see in the pictures. The meats are also delicious. You can order the mixed platter. Their bread is super good. Their hummus became one my favorites. They have a mint lemonade which is amazing. The staff is friendly.

Great food, great service, awesome atmosphere. They have a covered outside area as well and also serve hookah outside and allow smoking. Prices are very reasonable and portions are huge. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The meats are all good and the falafel & Hummus is amazing.

The food and service are amazing here. I appreciated the welcome. I got these for our office and someone special. By the time I was about to try a slice, everything was finished. I realized it must be good. Will come again to try these for myself next time. Thank You for making these fresh early morning.

Every time I come with my family we have a wonderful experience and dinner here! Food is delicious, service is friendly and quick, and the mint tea is our favorite. A great place to come as a large group. All the portions are generous and well priced. We will definitely be back and are constantly recommending it to others.
