Either my taste buds were on holiday or the food was bland. I was not impressed by the food or the atmosphere for the price. I will give it another try and hope i just had a one off experience.

The lamb kebab plate was absolutely outstanding. The lamb was perfectly seasoned, tender, and grilled with just the right amount of char. Every bite was flavorful and juicy.

The sides really completed the meal. The babaganoush was smoky and creamy, the hummus was smooth and rich, and the roasted tomato and pepper added the perfect touch of sweetness and depth. The Mediterranean rice was generous and well-seasoned — not an afterthought, but a true part of the experience.

And the walnut baklava? Perfect. Crisp layers, balanced sweetness, and packed with flavor without being overly syrupy.

If you’re looking for authentic, well-executed Mediterranean food, this place delivers. Highly recommend

Visiting from out of state. Decent location. Food was prepared quickly. You have to pay ahead of time. You do get your own plate, when called, and you clean after yourself which I didn’t like, but overall food was good. Food is not too oily like some places, but it was expensive for the area. We are from California and it cost the same, if not more. Averaged $18-25 a plate. Water tasted funny. Husband said it tasted like chemicals. Restaurant was clean. Not too busy. Short wait times. We went after 1pm so that could be why. Staff were very friendly.

Great mediterranean food! I got the Chicken Kabob Platter, my husband got the Super Platter, and we got a side of hummus. Everything was delicious and plates were clean and good looking. I thought there were servers upon first walking in, but it's more like a fast-food set up where you order, take a seat, and then they call your number. They sell fountain drinks for $1.99, which is very fair - Pepsi products and also sell bottled drinks. We opted for a fountain drink. They also let us sample some donut type of dessert. Very good, reminded me of a fried donut that's soaked in corn syrup to let it get that wet and crunchy flavor.

Lamb was cooked well, meat fell off the bone. The chicken kebab's were seasoned to perfection and so soft. Very flavorful dish: baba ghanoush tasted very smoky/charcoaly, tahini salad was light and fresh with the crunch of the cucumber, and tabbouleh salad was minty and sour (from the lime). All in all, the plates felt very light and were so so good. Can't praise this restaurant enough.

Hummus was amazing, just wish they offered Pita Chips instead of Pita bread as I'm used to eating Hummus with a bit of a crunch.

Very clean, everything is freshly painted. Booths were flat though so don't sit too hard. I think the restaurant is new-ish (Nov, 2025) and today is Feb 7, 2026. The restaurant gives family vibes and it's good to support small businesses!

Would recommend and can't wait till I'm in the area again to try something else.

Reminds me of Jerusalem Bakery in Georgia.

Not sure exactly why our order placed directly after other parties at our table hours similar items as a other guest. Ours came out like a long time afterwards other people in the restaurants came out before hours and not very easy to communicate with the staff and you have to go up and get your own food for this price. It seems like it would be tableside service, but I liked the taste of my meats and some of the side items, but not necessarily all of them compared to other Mediterranean places I have eaten.
