The food was pretty great. I got the tilapia plate, shawarma sandwich, and 3 beef tacos. The price did not seem to match on the menu but this was in my favor. I expected to pay $60-70 for the three meals and drinks but we ended up at $47. The food was really good, but the fish and shawarma did lack some salt however that can often be to taste. My 12-yr old brother really approved of both the tacos and the shawarma sandwich. The tacos were on par with some very good Mexican street stands I've tried. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Unlike other reviews, I did not see 20% gratuity added automatically. I look forward to visiting again!Kid-friendliness: I would definitely check ingredients for picky eaters but for kids who are more open, the shawarma sandwich is bound to be a hit!
Prices went skyrocketing. They add 20 % service and wait for you to add tips in a silly way too. So paying $ 110 for what was $55 or 60. The food isn't good, the Kabab is not taste like beef. Grape leaf was harsh. Something is wrong. Also atmosphere was better before they close everything.

This place was great. We went on a late night and the music was a little loud but that's to be expected when the hookah lounge is attached to the restaurant dining area. I'd go back more for the hookah lounge than the food to be honest.

Shady business. Food was just ok, way over priced with service fees added on! Rip off would never recommend or go back there! Any one giving good reviews must be family members or friends leaving fake reviews.

We tried to call, the menu looked great and we were very excited about trying it. Unfortunately the phone rang and rang and rang and rang. No answer. Tried three times. Hard to try the food when you can't order. Maybe next time.

Had the hummus and Kofta sandwich. Both were delicious. Had an authentic taste to them. The garlic sauce was spot on as well. Will be back.
I have eaten here many times but I feel that the quality and flavors of the food went up a notch or two the last year.I had the dolma - deliciousThe appetizers are all so yummy.The street tacos and salsa are so flavorful and authentic.And Friday night I had the cheese quesadilla and I was not disappointed.Will be eating here again soon.It’s next to Cairo (same owner) hookah lounge in Richardson.You can have amazing food and hookah at the same place.

I was so excited to find delicious knafeh in Austin! This perfect knafeh did not disappoint. The server, Farah, was helpful and attentive. Perfect service and excellent cuisine! Can’t wait to visit again!

What a waste. I ordered a chicken shawarma sandwich. But I barely could find any chicken in the sandwich. Just lettuce with mayo. The environment was dirty. I could see flies flying around. What a waste of money and time.
