Yummy! I’ve been here a few times now, this last time I took my mother for her birthday. Food is good. I do wish that they introduced more vegetables to their dishes. A lot of their dishes are very carb forward. This time I ordered a different type of latte which I was incredibly disappointed with, I literally took two sips and it was gone specially for $7 a cappuccino I felt like it was such a waste. We also purchased this dish that you share by person which was 35 per person and when we received it, all it was was bread with different hummus dips, a little disappointing wish there was vegetables and a little bit more substance specially for $70. It’s probably because of inflation, but I just felt like our visit here this time was incredibly expensive for what we were getting. We did order this wonderful dish. That was a spin of a Chilaquiles and it was absolutely delicious, Highly recommend.

The food tasted great but some of the portions were small. The server let me know what could be made gluten free.

One of the best restaurants in the bay area! Flavors are amazing, dishes are thoughtful, service is fantastic and at times hilarious. Ambience is also beautiful. I highly recommend this spot!

Absolutely delicious food served by kind and personable people. Exceeded all expectations and was a stand out on a recent trip to the East Bay.

Cute little spot for dinner with quick service!
The good:
Bettenjan bi tahina: So flavorful! Loved all the sauces, and the dish came together beautifully — healthy food with great presentation.
The not-so-good:
Portion sizes were quite small, so we left feeling a bit unsatisfied.
The sumac spritz tasted mostly like sugar water with barely any other flavor.
Overall, a nice place if you’re looking for healthy options, though it would be great to see some chicken kebabs for non-vegetarians and falafel choices for vegetarians.
The food here is phenomenal. I’ve never had such creative fusion flavors that are both new and familiar. They have Mediterranean / Palestinian standards but with a twist; the flavor combos are so clever and they always taste amazing. They have slightly different menu items for dinner vs brunch so I’d really recommend trying both for the full experience. My favorites are too many to name but honestly you can’t go wrong—but the pancake is definitely top notch. Other favorites include the toum fries, the lentil soup, rotti wrap…actually you know what everything is good. I really don’t think you can go wrong. They also have vegetarian and vegan options, as well as other dietary restrictions options. Parking can be found on the street, though might be crowded during peak hours. I wish they were open more days of the week, it’s only Thursday - Sunday for now, but maybe in the future that will change…?

I wish I knew if the food was good or not. My husband made a reservation online and we got all dressed up and excited to go. They were closed! You Should Not Have The Option to Make a Reservation if you are CLOSED!
This place was so delicious! Glad we stopped by. Family friendly - can’t wait to come back to try more of the menu.

Hands down the best brunch I’ve had in a few years. We got a wide selection - Turkish eggs, round fries, mansaf roti and the kunefeh pancakes along with a two drinks.
The mansaf roti was perfection with a hint of freshness with the mint, the fries were seasoned to perfection and I can’t even begin to describe how delicious the pancake was.
It’s extremely busy so I recommend getting a reservation!

This place is a DREAM! The inside is so tastefully decorated. Wow, the entire dinner menu is incredible, we ordered:
-Sumac Spritz: refreshing, not too sweet and very pretty presentation with edible flowers.
-Fresh Khubs: bread is warm, zatar dip is 10/10.
- Fattoush Salad: 100% add falafel, incredibly fresh!
- Potato Salad: comes with crispy potatoes on top, must order!
- Fish & Chips ( can’t remember the name on the menu): honestly was the most surprising menu item, didn’t expect to see on the menu. The BEST fish and chips we ever had, not greasy and perfect fries.
We will be back for brunch! FYI make sure you have a reservation.
