Great meal for Sunday brunch. Service was fast, staff was very friendly. Great little spot. Foul and Fatteh and Grandmas board were the highlights of the meal. Will be back soon! Thank you!!
Not only is the food beyond delicious but everyone is so so nice and welcoming. We go quite often and introduce it to friends snd family. We definitely recommend trying it out!
Great service and delicious food!
