Coming from out of the area; this restaurant has THE BEST tabbouleh and hummus! Food was delicious and fresh. Staff was excellent, friendly and attentive, even the other patrons were nice! Highly recommend! If I was in the area again I would definitely make a point to return to this establishment. Took some baklava home for dessert, so good!
