a few blocks from Mayo but this was top notch legit middle eastern food. I flew in from NYC and this was as good as anything in NY. super smooth creamy hummus, nice shawarma sando crisped on the grill and delicious tahini sauce. all for about $11. I would eat here every day if I was staying longer. much better than the basic fare immediately around mayo. friendly family staff too.
I am here visiting the Mayo Clinic and wanted to get out in the area a bit. I’m in a wheelchair and took the short roll from the skyway to the restaurant. I noticed the step up and thought we would have to find another restaurant— then I saw the homemade ramp. I can’t express how grateful I am to the owners for making the restaurant accessible! The food was excellent and the service , including setting up the ramp for me to enter and exit, was great. The food was reasonably priced and delicious. Thank you for being so welcoming and making your restaurant accessible for all.

Forgot I even ate here, not memorable at all. Just wanted to leave a review to make sure people know that it’s a modest eat, but nothing special at all. Too long of a wait time for food, and the delicacy of originality of culture is far from unique or special.
Our dish tasted like it was cooked from the same u washed cooking pan, we don’t order lamb, but our meats had a strong lamb taste to it, and that was very unsatisfying and mostly disgusting, flavors of previously cooked meals for other guests, very cringe of their poor choice for overlapping unnecessary flavors for new guests. Less than average food and so so atmosphere. Would NOT return or even reconsider eating here. We waited over an hour for our food. … and it was very overpriced.
Recommendation is to go elsewhere.
Most reviews for this restaurant are seriously overhyped, but listen very closely to the one star reviews, because those are the ones that highlight the major detractors of this place.

Standard menu items order placed & paid at 3:17pm to pair with wine at home for a special occasion, then I receive message at 6:20pm that they cancelled my order due to out of menu items. Unable to fulfill a simple order - very poor business practice.
Excellent everything from food, service, and ambiance. We loved it and will visit every time we are Rochester.

Parking: Had lunch with family and friends today while back home from mystery cave state park. Food is amazing and it is an Iraqi restaurant and everything is halaal. Found Masjied next to this shop which helped us finishing our Duhr. There is enough parking and Masjied parking also available.

The food quality is good, but there should be more meat. The rice served with the combo is white, not yellow. Overall, it was a decent experience.
