The fish platter is delicious. The best place to get lunch on campus if you want something both tasty and nutritious.

The place doesn't serve "HALAL". Talked with the owner and he mentioned, he bought meats from the local groceries like Meijer, Walmart, Costco, Sam's Club, which are not halal.
Hearing that, I changed my Lunch platter from Chicken to Fish. The amount of food was reasonably good. The quality is average.

I had a daily lunch platter here. The taste was meh, nothing special. However, the owner is extremely rude, so be prepared for this. What I want to mention is the place is so dirty (see the photos), so was the food. The salad was not well washed, and I had hair in my rice. It literally decreased my appetite completely, and I do not recommend this place. There are definitely better options.

Absolutely awesome food you can find around here. It's like homemade cuisine—fresh, well-seasoned, juicy, tender, and served with delicious sides and stews. Words can't describe how good the hummus is: creamy, fresh, and of high quality. You have to try this place. You may have to stand in a long queue between 10:30 am and 2 pm since only one unique man does all the work. His face is serious, but he is kind and generously offers extra food and fruit on the side. The portions are even enough for two people, and the sandwiches are a specialty here. I've never had such amazing sandwiches anywhere else. Give it a try, and you will be addicted to food.

Ordered a vegetarian lunch plate and it was delicious! Came with several different hot dishes with beans, chickpeas and veggies, salad, hummus, a falafel, and several pieces of fruits on the side. Everything was tasty. Salad was very fresh. Will come again if I am in the area. Highly recommend!

Delicious enough for special occasions. Healthy enough to eat daily. The waiting time can be high during peak hours, though.

Healthy AND delicious. Lunch special is amazing back for buck; not only do you get protein choice, 2 types of stewed lentils over rice, you get arabic salif and hummus pita, fresh fruit, tea.
