Ishtar Restaurant

I recently had lunch in Ishtar Restaurant after. The food was delicious and responding to my needs, personally served by the owner, our friend Bashar and his staff. I especially liked the welcoming ambiance, and the artistic decorative touch. The Restaurant is specifically attracting a social gathering between young friends, families, from different cultures, communicating spontaneously as they were at home. Therefore, combining good food with such social life is, according to me, one of the best assets of Ishtar. Thanks Bashar.

Food is not safe and healthy for human consumption ( ask the kitchen crew they will tell you what's going on in the kitchen)..
It's the worst and cheapest kind of neat in the market

We order from a different restaurant from around the world on Christmas Eve. We choose Ishtar's this year.
I stopped in one afternoon to test things out.The Owners wife was there to help me. I asked her to bring me a plate of her choice. It was delicious, the kabobs and all the different sides. The show stopper was the Fattoush salad, OMG!
We ordered the BBQ platters for us and it was prepared family style, as requested.
It is located in a small strip mall but don't let that stop you.
Bashar, the owner, made sure the order was exactly as requested and even called to ensure we were happy with everything.
And they had some Christmas treats for us as well!
