There's a reason this place has been here since the river market opened. Came here day before thanksgiving one year. Someone ordered a giant baklava and didn't pick it up, so they were giving out free samples. Ended up buying some. 10/10 food too

My family and I showed up a few minutes after closing and the staff were incredibly kind and generous. The falafel and baklava were delicious, the food was fresh and honestly, I was very appreciative of the kindness shown, especially while they were closing up shop. Will make sure to come by our next visit.

Wonderfull little find. Great quality on the food. Had a gyro plate. It all tasted great. Star of show is the falafel. I do not even like falafel and was offered a sample. It was fantastic!!! Baklava just as excellent. Great pricing, great quality. Excellent.

Great lunch

She serves up the best falafel in Little Rock, ong. She’s also one of the nicest and kindest people you’ll meet—you won’t be disappointed. If you’re not sure what to get, she’ll gladly put together a spread of what she thinks is best that day. Her dishes change daily, aside from the staples.

The food was amazing 1000/10! It’s hard to find good authentic Egyptian food but this place is the spot. The chef was the sweetest lady and her service was outstanding. I have tried this place a few times now and the food hits the spot every time. I highly recommend this spot!

I stopped here while passing through Little Rock on my way back to Chicago. Aunt Afaf welcomed me with incredible kindness—she refused to take money from me, even offered drinks and baklava, saying she never charges travelers. The food was delicious, the place was very clean, and her hospitality is unforgettable. I’ll always remember her and keep her in my prayers

I just had one of the best meals of my life at this Middle Eastern spot downtown. Walked in not knowing what to expect, and the smell hit me first — like warm spices and fresh bread. I went for the gyro plate and honestly, I could have eaten three of them. The hummus was creamy and flavorful, the falafel was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and that yogurt sauce… oh man, it tied everything together perfectly.

The staff were so friendly, checking in without being pushy, making you feel welcome. Everything just felt fresh and homemade — not like some pre-packaged stuff. I left full, happy, and already planning my next visit. If you like real, flavorful Middle Eastern food, this place is a must.
