Deserving of the name !! Akhmed was the kindest man with such a jubilant smile and energy! You can tell they really care about the food and customer experience. Their hummus is one of the smoothest, creamiest hummus I have ever had. I am coming back Monday just to eat the hummus!!! The kibbeh was delicious. And the entrees were generously portioned and the meats were incredibly juicy and tender. I had the kofta and my friend had the marinated chicken, both so tender and flavorful....

This is absolutely amazing! So fresh and tasty. Everyone is simply the nicest people. We went back the second night we were in town. Definitely coming back anytime we're in Cincinnati.

Was excited to try this restaurant based on such a high rating and great reviews. The falafel appetizer was tasty. The gyro was alright, you can get much better in the city though. The beef shawarma had a lot of gristle in it. The fries were good. Portions were large and the veggies seemed fresh. Service was alright, some employees were friendlier than others. Overall a decent place for lunch or takeout, but not somewhere I would end up frequenting.
