🌈Best Food in Staten Island , hands down ✨️ never had Palestinian cuisine before, now I'm a believer !! The great portions, price, and magical atmosphere is simply amazing !! Will be a regular when looking for great Middle Eastern food.
Also, the staff was so coo, patient, l and considerate.. unlike some establishments within the area where you feel a pompous, arrogance and unease when trying to decide your order.
Made us feel like Family 💓🙌

Simply amazing! Salads are spectacular, dishes made with attention to every detail.
Just found it and already been back 2 more times. Excited to try the next dish. Chicken dishes done to perfection. No one serves a more tender chicken.
Decor is original and very beautiful. Service was excellent. Hope they stay and linger in Staten Islands culinary future.
