It's basic I've tried many Mediterranean food restaurants and this is just basic plain

Absolutely incredible!!! The staff was friendly, patient, and had wonderful recommendations! Everything that we ate we would for sure order again. Don't sleep on the Chicken Soup, it's so hearty and delicious. You can't go wrong with any of their wraps or falafels either, and that Baclava was soooooo tasty!

The flavors here are amazing. Visiting from Phoenix and saw this close to the hotel. The spicy potatos were a great complement to the filet wrap. There is limited seating. That is the only issue i had. A must try if your in Downey.

Food is good. I'm just disappointed now that they won't accept military discount unless you're wearing a uniform!

This place is a little small but they really make the most of the space. The food is very fresh, very delicious and reasonably priced. The service is friendly and courteous. 5 stars in every way!

First time here. The food is great! It's a little small inside, you'll have a little bit of a challenge finding a seat. They were pretty busy when I went, granted it was dinner rush. They were packed with onsite orders, delivery and takeouts. Regardless of all that, the food and prices are good.

Food is good, - Meat tasted good, but the rice was mushy/wet.
Service is ok - If you are eating in the restaurant, expect to get your food late. You will likely wait 20-30 mins.
Atmosphere is terrible - Sitting area is tiny, tables/chairs are way too close. Noise from the kitchen plus the groups of patrons make it a really loud and noisy environment. I would order out but I would not return to the restaurant.
