We were looking forward to a traditional mansaf and we were not disappointed. It was succulent and brought back many warm memories of family feasts. Service was attentive and friendly. We will be back again and again.

I truly loved the meal here. The food hit all the right notes! Flavorful and tasty, a variety of textures (softness, crunch, caramelization), warm full belly feel. Truly satisfying. The service was perfectly nice. I thought the lighting was kinda harsh (bright, white) tho hence only the 3 stars there. But I already went back after the first meal and I know I’ll be back, so overall 5 for the strength of the food alone. Great job all around!!!

Staff were very friendly and welcoming, I recommend getting reservations as they get very busy especially on weekends. The food is soo delicious, big portions, service is quick. Would absolutely come here again.
