“The food here is amazing, delicious, and healthy. The service is excellent. They really take the time to make you feel at ease and they give you the friendliest service. One particular staff member, a tall gentleman was very kind and asked how I liked the food, took the time to tell me my options when I was ordering, and offered to put my tray away when I was done eating. Now that’s service! Service in most places have not been satisfactory lately as the food service industry slowly picks back up from a type of recession. But the customer care and service here is above and beyond.“

“Absolutely amazing! Super kind people too. Everything was so fresh, and it’s the best “Mediterranean” food I’ve ever had. The garlic sauce is perfect, the chicken was cut fresh into my bowl, and it’s jam packed full with
so many options to add like tabouli, hummus, corn salsa, feta, onions, pickles, jalapeños- I mean I can’t even begin to name them all everything was AMAZING! Found my new spot!
**Edited months later to add photos of the menu- and say I have been coming here 3 times a week since this review, and it’s only gotten better. Chicken bowl is 2 full meals for me (it weighs like 5lbs) and it actually holds really well; and reheats well- tastes fresh again. I crave it and am driving there as we speak. Fresh food, great kind people; huge portions- TRY IT!!!“

“Honestly i love this places, great family atmosphere and really great employees. There food is usually 5☆ but it was pretty disappointing today. We bought a buck of baklava and sweets and the neurs were mushy and soft. Everything that was supposed to be crispy was soggy and just not good, even the pistachios were soft and mushy. I've bought these same things in the past and they've been delicious so idk why today it was so bad. I probably won't buy the sweets that are pretty pricey again because of how bad they were.“

He was extremely patient with my son and went the extra mile with his food recommendations and making it kid-friendly. He also noticed which sauces I seemed to like the most and brought one that did not originally come with my meal. The food and atmosphere as wonderful in itself, but Sebastian made our first time here one to be remembered! Thank you to him!!“

This is a must visit if you value taste over fancy decorations. One warning, this is authentic Indian food. You might want to have them tone it down for your American taste buds.“

I said we needed to go get some of our own. So the next day we went to the market and found Jacob’s and got two different types and they were delicious as well. Shout out to the dill pickle hummus.

“Didn't stay at the hotel but enjoyed the buffet breakfast here! I think the price is reasonable and much lower than many other 4-star hotels (and considering that the same price might give you just one plate of food at many other places), and the quality/selection was definitely better than limited service brands such as Fairfield, Residence Inn, Hampton Inn, etc. Lots of frush fruits, which was a plus. Plus, the interior architecture just outside of the restaurant is amazing and well worth a stop.“
