This place was excellent. We ordered the fried chicken, Kabab Mix, some hummus and pita, and baklava. All the food was fresh and flavorful. The fried chicken was surprising and amazing with a maple flavor thanks to the use of Fenugreek in it. The chicken came with waffle fries that were also soooo good. I would not have thought Syrian food would have amazing fried chicken, but this is soooo good. It all tasted homemade and from scratch. I am definitely going back.

Cute place! Great decor, friendly staff, and good food! Pro tip, call in your order vs door dash... it was $2 cheaper buying directly from the store. I got to try the delicious dessert as well!

I accidentally ordered something I wasn’t sure about, and the owner kindly offered to change it. I felt bad accepting the offer after they served it, but he ended up bringing us the original dish I had wanted—on the house—to take to go. Excellent service, very clean restaurant, and the food was absolutely delicious!”
