Amazing food and experience. The cauliflower salad was outstanding, the lamb and falafel were also delicious! Will definitely come back with more friends. The owner was friendly and has a beautiful spirit! 10/10

Every aspect of dining here contained unexpected quality. The dishes showcase quality. Their food combines tradition with new ideas. Their service personnel's quick responses were noticeable. I appreciate the quality here and tell people.

They perfect what they know. You get proper portions for what you pay. This restaurant exceeds typical excellence measures. These employees are quick-thinking yet never condescending. We're planning another visit.

Truly special. This place (and its sister restaurant Mombar) are basically as close as you can get to being invited into someone's home to share a delicious meal with them, while still being a restaurant you pay money (not that much) for. Ali is a character from a movie. Just eat whatever he tells you to, especially if it's the lamb cheeks or chicken livers.

Definitely the worst experience I’ve had in my life, the chef/cook is so rude in a way you can’t imagine. Never recommend it to anyone

Incredible food cooked by Ali who was a great host. Will definitely be dining in again.
If I were fortunate enough to choose where I die, I’d like to die at Ali’s table, next to his glorious kitchen. To say this restaurant means something to me is like saying life itself means something to me. This is a sacred place. Ali is an international treasure.

The owner requested a cash deposit of $1000 for a friend's bachelor party and, after mutually agreeing to shift the intended date, later freaked out over the phone when I called to check in on the new date and refused to return the deposit.Instead, he demanded that we arrange for the dinner to take place in the middle of the week when it was convenient for him. I would not send my worst enemy to this restaurant.

Ali has a beautiful soul and it is reflected in his restaurant. My wife and I were not boisterous enough and he encouraged us jokingly "be louder I need to hear you as I am very insecure about my cooking". Would recommend getting a fish of some sort and vegetables.
