    Chicken Shawarma Kabsa Rice Plate

    The rice plate was amazing and portion size was good. It was very flavorful! I ordered to-go so I didn't care for how the inside looked. The service was fast and efficient. I would definitely order again.

    We were visiting for the weekend and looking for a place to try in the area. This restaurant came recommended a few times on Reddit, and I'm so glad we gave it a shot! The place might look a bit outdated and informal, but the food was excellent and reasonably priced. The older man running the restaurant was kind, warm, greeted us with a smile, and his service was pretty quick. We ordered the beef kebab plate and the beef kabsa plate - both were generously portioned, and the flavors were spot on! Tastes just like how we remembered it when we went to Turkey. The hummus plate was also really good. I bought a baklava to go and excited to eat it! I wish more people would discover this place, you can tell the recipes are family-owned and made with care. We'll definitely stop by again the next time we're in Salem :)

    Grape leaves and falafel!

    I can't believe I hadn't been here before! The food was so delicious, the service was very kind, and a nice clean environment. Grapes leaves were incredible-- my favorite. I also had the lamb hummus plate which was so good. Will definitely come back!

    The food here always delivers the wonderful Arabic taste with their touch of perfect spices. They're very personable. Check them out sometime soon!

    Ordered a to go order and was 5 minutes away, the food was hot and ready when I got there, the inside was empty, the establishment is a little dated, but, the lady was very friendly and the food is very good! I'll be back for sure!!!!

    When I'm traveling my 1st choice for lunch or dinner is mediterranean/Middle Eastern food. I was really in the mood for kabobs. Chicken, beef and lamb, whatever! A good salad is important too. When I checked out the Yelp map I saw this restaurant and knew I'd be stopping in--especially after seeing the pics from fellow yelpers. The owners are a husband and wife team. Very hospitable and amazing in the kitchen! From my table I could hear the sound of my kebabs sizzling. When the meal came out I was happy to see that my salad had no raw onions in it. At first I thought my chicken kebabs were overdone but I was mistaken. They were so soft and juicy with just enough crisp on the outside. And the flavor, wow! Both of my cheeks were full of a combination of chicken, rice, salad with tahini. Yum! I did the best I could and then I needed to get a to-go container. One more reason to come to Salem, Oregon, thank you!

    I work down the street and eat lunch here often. My favorites are the lentil soup, hummus plate, and falafel sandwich.

    Hospitality is A+. Good for groups, lunchtime, or dinner. Try the French fries with garlic sauce!

    This place has excellent Middle Eastern cuisine, and it is resonably pieced. The owners are very sweet people
