Burning my passport since I no longer have a reason to travel to the Middle East. Tahini set the bar so high you need a telescope to see it! The flavorful chicken and beef with the fresh and fluffy rice and creamy and tart tahini sauce is out of this world. No wonder the bar isnt in the same stratosphere lol.

I’ve been coming here since 2017, The food has always been consistent. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly, and the music is always vibes. Every time I fly back into San Diego and I’m driving home, I always stop by because it’s gonna be a good meal. Moody the owner is a great guy, I have nothing but high praises for this place.
