This was so good. Heart breaking that they may have to close their doors because of a lack of customers. I hope we can come together and save this amazing place before it is gone forever.

We came in, and there were over 10 flies buzzing around. They joined us for the rest of our meal, which was neither generous in the amount for how expensive the total tab was, nor was the flavor varied from dish-to-dish.The male owner (?) tried to coax our two year-old daughter to go to the back with him for some candy… The woman who was serving was not friendly, throwing the utensils on our table which had not been cleaned. In all sincerity, do not go here.Kid-friendliness: As I mentioned, the male staff was overly friendly with our daughter (trying to take her by the hand to go back in the kitchen for candy… Without an adult.), and it made all of us adults defensively uncomfortable.

****Update******I was not going to mention about the horrible service I received but if you’re asking me why I gave you 1 star so I am going to write what we experienced.Lady who was helping us was very rude and she was thinking that I’ll let go her attitude. Firstly she was very irritated when we asked her about the menu multiple times since it was our first visit and food she brought us was bad, chicken wasn’t tender and kabob were burnt. She asked me why I didn’t add gratuity? I clearly said we didn’t like the food. She also mentioned CO is expensive and TX is very cheap. Why complaining in front of customer? Very unprofessional and no wonder business is on sale.

Very authentic, very yummy, huge portions. I’m so happy we came in here. The owner is also the server and helps in the kitchen too. She took time to explain the authenticity of the dishes and the traditional way to eat them as well. Best middle eastern restaurant in town!! Support local!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian friendly!

My husband and I came here about a month ago to try the food as I have seen good things about their vegan options. The falafel was wonderful and my husband really enjoyed his chicken and hummus dish. The lady who was waiting on us was also great and gave us complimentary tea as it typically goes with the baklava we ordered and it was very delicious. I’m very glad we came and tried it out. I think I should also mention that we were almost turned off by some of the bad reviews and the way the business responds to them, as it seems to belittle the customer if they leave a bad review which I’ve never been a fan of seeing. But we always try to give a place a chance and I’m glad we did ?
Absolutely wonderful restaurant, we've eaten here many times and never once had a complaint. The food is amazing and well worth the price. There is an additional fee for dining in due to the costs of cleaning and maintenance. I find it admirable that the owner chose to not raise all of the prices out of consideration of the take out diners. I hope this restaurant and its wonderful cuisine stay around for a long long time

Good food.However, the price is kind of outrageous for what you get. Also there is a "20% kitchen fee" and they still expect you to tip after that. The server (also owner I assume?) complained about the cost of getting the kitchen cleaned.Easily $30 pp for a meal and water after the "kitchen fee" and tax
This place is awesome! My wife and I just moved from Texas and wanted to try some authentic middle-eastern food. We were certainly not disappointed. The person who we assume to be the owner is very polite and personable and made sure we were taken care of. The food was superb! We ordered falafel for an appetizer and had gyros for lunch. Was very good. I was pleasantly surprised with how good the herbal tea was!Overall we loved the attention to detail and would recommend to anybody in the area who want to try something new!
I don't understand the positive reviews. The food was terrible, completely inedible and waaaay over priced. I should have taken a hint by the fact the place was totally empty at prime lunch time.

Another 5 star gem. Delicious, authentic cuisine and the atmosphere is like stepping into another world. Vibrant and so tasty! Come and try it for yourself. And now I know what Turkish delight (the thing Edmund asks for in Chron. of Narnia) tastes like!Kid-friendliness: Has a kids' menu with french fries and can adjust the spice for the kids.

Loved the food and the owner was super nice in explaining the selections. She gave us a 10% military discount, so we had a very nice meal! Be sure to try the hot tea, it was very nice!
