Would 100% recommend it to anyone interested in mediterranean food. Their food is really good, and the employees are so nice. The mansaf was amazing. Had a problem with one plate. This isn't a filet mignon, and that was so disappointing. Plate is filling, but if I'm paying for a certain plate, I would hope to receive it. Filet mignons are pan seared, not grilled. This is not the right cut either, and it's very disappointing. You cannot convince me this filet mignon, it's nowhere near tender & doesn't even look anything near it. Name it a steak plate or something of that sort, honesty will bring you more customers.

SCAAAAMERS, when you order online any app you pick the order according to what can you pay, then they raise the price suddenly while you didn’t have any extra additions ordered. When you call them they claim that the price went up but they haven’t updated the prices on the menu.
Great food and service. It’s nice to see family owned restaurants still have this much quality.

This place takes you to your hometown. Nostalgic memories. Our server (his name was Arab) was very kind & welcoming.
The food portions are huge! Variety of options on the menu. Personally, I believe they could do more with seasoning/ more salt on the food as it was a tad bit bland .

This Middle Eastern restaurant is a flavor powerhouse, serving up silky hummus drizzled with golden olive oil, smoky grilled meats that fall off the bone, and falafel with the perfect crispy soft crunch all wrapped in warm, pillowy bread that makes every bite pure comfort. The vibrant spices, generous portions, we will definitely be returning.

They do a great job cooking their meats, morning was dried out which is often the case at Middle Eastern restaurants.
The hummus, kibbe and falafel are a must! The grape leaves looked great, however we forgot to order them.
Excellent overall value, I will go back when I'm in the area!

This place is hidden in a strip mall. I brought my sister here and she loved it. She said this is way better than that other place north of where Al Basha is. No doubt about it, this place is my go to from now on. From the appetizer to the main course. Everything was delicious. Hats off to the chef.

Authentic Arabic breakfast done right!
My friend and I stopped by for a classic Arabic breakfast—falafel, hummus, and fool—and it was really good. Everything tasted authentic, just like back home. The falafel was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, without any odd flavor twists that some places add. Just high-quality, well-cooked falafel done right.
The hummus and fool were both flavorful and fresh. We paired our meal with hot tea, and the entire spread came with a side plate of pickles, olives, tomatoes, and cucumbers—everything neatly presented and clean. The bread was warm, fluffy, and fresh.
Honestly, this is the only place I’d go to for a real Arabic breakfast. I’ve tried other popular spots in the area and left disappointed—this one truly delivers. Prices are also very reasonable.
Our server was friendly, attentive, and easy to talk to. She made us feel welcome and comfortable, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend and definitely want to try their lunch and dinner experience!
