This is some of the best middle eastern food we've had in a long time. Great food, plenty of pita bread included and it had the whole car smelling so good my boyfriend had to call and tell me how good it smelled.

Excellent meal- everything was so fresh and you can taste the homemade flavors and quality. The restaurant was very clean- the staff so friendly. We had an absolute feast- enough for another meal with our leftovers! We will definitely be back.
