I tend to like trying a bunch of items my first time going somewhere, so I tried a mezze plate of things like: falafel, hummus, babaganoush, fries. It was all very tasty. My non-veg friend liked her food as well. The decor/vibe is charming. Staff was friendly but slow, as it seemed like one waitstaff was taking care of both floors that were open.

One of my favorite restaurants to go to. Excellent food, fantastic service. The bread is so soft and delicious. And Brian, who served us today, was such a gracious host. He was friendly, professional, and very welcoming. I highly recommend this place for those who want delicious Syrian food. Everything is yummy. The baba ganoush, falafel and Hummus are my favorite.
