This was a really nice experience. We ordered the combo platter in the picture. It included grilled lamb and chicken, lamb chops, shish kafta (grilled ground lamb with spices), lamb and chicken Shawarma (marinated and grilled meat), seasoned rice, grilled vegetables, and soup or salad. The salads were fresh with a mild oil and vinegar dressing. We also tried the lamb chill and lentil soup. Both soups were really good, and I particularly liked the lentil soup, which was creamy with unique spices. Lamb chops were the best I have ever had - very tender. My favorite meat was the shish kafta. The meal comes with pita bread and a wonderful garlic spread (think garlic butter). The hummus was also very good. The menu said the combo serves 4-6, but four of us ate at the restaurant and a second meal for 6 from our leftovers. I have been disappointed with some Mediterranean food in other restaurants, but this meal was awesome.Parking: Easy parking in a large strip mall lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible.
Waitress was really nice, I think her name was Emma. She was able to help me with choosing something I'd like. Thank you.

Waited in the parking lot for 40 minutes for them to open at 10:00 as the hours of operation were listed on their website. After 10 still not open so I called. She was rude, said “I’m not opening”. I told her you’re supposed to open at 10. She said, “well im not opening and I’m the only one here”. Will never return to this rude place good food or not because customer service is key.

AMAZING FOOD!! Wow. Very friendly staff/ownership. This place really adds to our community good people and great food at a fair price. ?
This is the best Mediterranean Restaurant & one of the absolute best restaurants in the Hattiesburg area. Everything was incredibly delicious. I don’t normally like hummus, but theirs is to die for! And the lamb was exquisite!

The food was amazing, one of the guys said they didnt have anymore lamb chops, but they let us know, and offered us other choices, the food didnt take long, and it was amazing, fries, rice, meat, vegetables and drinks, service was good, checking up on us. It has an interesting atmosphere, it was kind of lonely, but certainly good. Would try again.

I've gotten two dishes and I've enjoyed both! If you enjoy Mediterranean food or want to try something new you gotta try this place! The hummus was delicious and they gave me 2 different things I could add to change the flavor if I wanted. My gyro was with a slightly different bread than pita and I loved it. This restaurant is not the same as Petra it has its own flavors and better prices. The other fish I got has as amazing garlic sauce! I just forgot the name. Oh the fried were actually really tasty, like they weren't an afterthought. I tried 3 different soups my favorite being the lamb and vegetable soup, so comforting and rich.
Our first experience here was incredible. The owner was super kind and very obviously passionate about his food. He made us all kinds of different foods to try. We left STUFFED, and with leftovers. The flavors are so vibrant and not a single thing we tried was bad. I'm in love.
This seems to be a one man operation. He’s super friendly Don’t be in a hurry. Enjoy! The food is great. The garlic dip and the hummus have wonderful flavors. The lentil soup is the best. So hearty and warming. The pita is fresh and thin, perfect for dipping. We drove 75 miles to eat here and it was well worth it!!!!

Oooo this is a great place if you want a family friendly service, great food and delicious middle eastern food!!! The menu is huge and everyone will find something to eat! They have fries but order the Tabbouleh if you like parsley And tomato, bulgur, onion, olive oil, lemon juice, salt!! It's so refreshing and delicious! I love baklava that is made with pistachios too. I had the lentil soup, David Babsah , a lamb stew. My husband had the lamb chops both were super! I'll be back!
