Great service, definitely recommended

What a treasure. I almost started crying when I left because of how lovely and kind the owner is - you really feel like you’re visiting a relative’s home rather than a restaurant. Also the falafel wrap, mint tea, and baklava were delicious (and super affordable). I feel lucky to have found this place!

Lovely owner serving up a blend of Lebanese, Turkish, and Syrian foods and desserts. Only open sparingly but a nice local spot to try if you are in the area.

This place is so homey and the owner is such a wonderful human being! It felt like I was home and eating a meal cooked by my dad. The mint tea was the best mint tea I’ve had in the world and the wraps were so hearty and lovely, it was an amazing experience. Definitely a spot I’ll be visiting many many times.

The best thing about this place is the incredibly friendly owner. Loved this charming unpretentious neighborhood spot. The chicken kebab was good, and the beef pie too.

Great little shop with really good value for their wraps which were very tasty.

Hard to find a lunch at those prices in this economy

This is my favourite cafe in the city. You cannot beat the falafel and tea at this price and certainly not the welcoming and cozy atmosphere. Mr. Hakim is just the best ♥️

Came here yesterday with several friends and we had the best time! The service, food and atmosphere were all amazing. The price point is good and the portions are BIG! To start, the meat maeesha had a really nice flatbread and the meat was nicely seasoned with a bit of a cinnamon flavour to it - this was unexpected but a delicious surprise for me. Next I had the mixed kebab, which I highly recommend. The meat, sauces, rice and pita were perfection. The hummus though… SO GOOD!! I got to try the Jerusalem salad vs the Fatoush salad and while both were great, I preferred the latter.

Hakim is an amazing person and very personable. The food is tasty and affordable and the Arabic coffee was hands down the best I've ever had.
