Malooga - Old City Reviews
The kids were so excited to start eating they didn’t take any pictures first! Great night and fantastic food! Service was exceptional!!
Some of the best middle eastern food I’ve had. The service was friendly and efficient. The cost was very reasonable considering the care that went into preparing the food. Recommend the Umm Ali for dessert. It is worth the wait.
Absolutely delicious. Such a welcoming and friendly staff as well. I got the fuul and a hummus appetizer and have enough for lunch tomorrow! Nice portion sizes. The food was great, and the waitress was so nice!
