I went in expecting a solid, classic Middle Eastern meal, but overall it was not so good and I left disappointed.
The menu has all the staples (hummus, falafel, baba ghanouj, fattoush, kofta/skewers, etc.), but the execution felt inconsistent. The dips were okay but not memorable, and several items tasted bland or like they’d been sitting too long. The grilled meats were the biggest letdown: not very tender, and the seasoning didn’t come through the way it should in a place known for this kind of food.
Service also wasn’t great. It felt rushed and not very attentive, and it was hard to get simple things handled smoothly. The overall atmosphere is more old and dated than “cozy,” and at the prices they charge, I expected a cleaner, more polished experience.
Bottom line: there are better Middle Eastern options in the city. I might try again only if someone else insisted, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to return.

Best food place in the world. Recommend the Shish Tawoo but switch something out with fries. Those are THE BEST. The rice is phenomenal too, recommend it a lot. Prices are a bit, but worth it. Service is really nice take out or dine in. You have to at least come here once in your life. The falafels are good too. Please try them for the sake of the restaurant.
Excellent service!
