The strawberry cups were not ripe enough and did not taste like fresh. The kataifeh was not crunchy, but soggy. The rest of the meals we ordered were just sub par and did not look like the pictures that were depicted on their Facebook page. Definitely not worth the $40 we spent on dessert and an appetizer. I called to discuss how dissatisfied we were, we were told they had just bought the fruit today and made the pistachio cream fresh. Whoever I spoke with was not able to help me and did not give out the owner's information to discuss further as to how to rectify the situation.

Jannat Restaurant is truly a hidden gem when it comes to Eurasian cuisine -- bringing together rich…read moreflavors from Central Asia, Turkey, and Europe all under one roof. It's halal, super clean, and the staff? Genuinely some of the kindest and warmest people you'll meet. You can tell they really care about their space and their food -- gloves, masks, and great hospitality all around. The vibe inside is lowkey but elegant, great for a quiet night out or a new food experience with friends or family. The menu reflects a wide variety of authentic dishes -- some comforting, others bold and new depending on your palate. Pelmeni (dumplings): Very strong in flavor, not what I'm typically used to. The texture might take some getting used to -- I wasn't the biggest fan, but my friend loved it. Plov: So flavorful and hearty -- slightly on the greasy side but still really satisfying. Manty: If you're into juicy, steamed dumplings, this is the move. The spices are deep and warming. Honey Cake: Hands down one of my favorites. Soft, lightly sweet, and melts in your mouth -- definitely a must-try. If you're into exploring lesser-known cuisines or just want a meal that feels like a journey across cultures, Jannat is a beautiful stop. It's an experience more than just a dinner, and you can feel the passion behind the dishes.

Overall service was wonderful and the staff was very helpful with the menu and recommending apps, dishes, and drinks for first timers. Their menu offers food Europe, Central Asia, Turkey. You're offered complimentary Pita Bread as a starter. We ordered the Pelmeni, Chicken Kabob, Plov, Fruit Tea, Zavarnye, and Honey Cake. Everything was yummy! Portions are decent so definitely explore, order a few items and do it Family Style. They also offer lunch specials for $20. We will be back to other menu items!

The boneless wings are the best I've ever had by a mile (and then some) and the garlic parm sauce is other worldly. The Margherita pizza is soooooooo good. Extremely light (feels like nothing is in the box, in a good way) and flavorful. They have incredible Turkish street food now and every thing we have tried has been seriously fantastic. We are ordering it again today (second day in a row) which prompted me to leave this review. Took some photos of our meal yesterday with my awesome little Ricoh GR camera. Check them out.

I have been here a couple of times and both the times I have had good service and food. In my two visits, the following is what I have ordered: 'What The Flame' burger Thai + Coconut milk tea with lychee & coconut jelly Cheeseburger Spicy BBQ wings Chicken Rice Bowl w/o their red sauce Hot Chick sandwich All the food was good. I liked all the dishes I tried. The What The Flame burger, Chicken Rice Bowl, and the Hot Chick sandwich were my favorites. The spicy bbq wings were well cooked, saucy, and had a good flavor but they weren't quite spicy. The Thai Coconut milk tea was decent. I like this place and will be going back again. If you haven't been here before, then definitely check it out.

Every time we've ordered from here we've come away with happy bellies and tastebuds!…read more What we get: Jerk Chicken - So good! The sauce is bright and tangy--obviously spicy, but so, so good. And there's really no place similar in this area. Paired with the rice and beans and cabbage helps tone down the spice. Goat Curry - So spicy but so flavorful! The meat is tender and it's addictive. Beef patty - This is different than others, and it seems deep fried where I'm used to baked. Always love a beef patty and our kids enjoyed it. Plantains - Our kids love plantains in whatever form. Plus, these aren't spicy so they eat them all. Mac and Cheese - I'm usually wary of getting mac and cheese for kids because it's bland and watery (my child's words not mine), but THIS mac and cheese was SO good! So much flavor and gooey cheese sauce. Both our kids loved it and said it was delicious. Easy win! Candied Yams - Of all the tasty things, this is probably my least favorite. Everything on the menu is packed with deep, rich flavor. But candied yams are just too sweet for me. I think people who like sweet things will love this, but my preference tends to lean less sweet and more savory. So if you're not huge on sweets either, maybe skip this and go for the other items. The staff here are so nice--we ordered with the high hopes of ox tail (one of the non-spicy items) but they were all sold out! My husband was so disappointed that she took pity on him and just gave him the sauce and bits and bones that were left because they couldn't sell it anyway. It was SO good. Almost better than the first time I remembered it. I could be entirely too full and still want a taste of these ox tails! Please never go out of business or change hands--this place is a gem.

A Thousand Tales is a wonderful dining experience. The space is much larger than I expected, with a…read moremain dining room, an attached bakery cafe and what looks like a banquet room in back. Located in a strip mall, there is ample free parking. Staff is unassuming, professional and helpful, willing to help with any menu questions. We came for lunch to celebrate a birthday and it was an excellent choice. The menu has a lot of clean eating options, including vegetarian and keto. We opted to share a lamb pizza, a tomato and cucumber salad and a meat tray. All were excellent, plenty of food. The pita was excellent. The tea at the end was lovely. Prices reasonable, good food good portions. Absolutely worth checking out and adding into the rotation of where to go.

I had a very disappointing experience ordering from Thousand Tales Bakery through their app…read more When I placed my order, the estimated delivery time was about one hour. After waiting more than 1.5 hours, I called to check the status and found out that my order had not even been prepared. I don't know who I spoke with on the phone, but instead of helping resolve the issue, I was told that I could simply cancel my order. What frustrated me most was the explanation I received: "Sorry, this app doesn't work well." The representative showed little interest in solving the problem. Apparently, the app worked perfectly when it charged my credit card, but when it came to processing and delivering my order, suddenly the app was the issue. Delays can happen, but customers should be informed instead of being left waiting with no updates. I still didn't receive my order after two hours. The customer service was awful, and the lack of communication made the situation even more frustrating. This used to be one of my favorite places, but unfortunately, the quality of service seems to be getting worse.

What a hidden gem in an unassuming strip mall! We'd been wanting to visit here for a while, and…read morefinally made the trip after a long Saturday out and about. It was empty when it arrived, but filled up on our way out, telling me it's a popular place for the younger crowd. Either way, you know you're in for a good meal when you see the huge doner rotisserie spinning. The owner (at least I'm pretty sure he was the owner) helpfully walked us through their sauce selection and even offered my MIL some sauce samples. She ended up getting the hot dog with veggies, while my wife and I got sandwich combos (17 for the sandwich + 3.50 for fries and a drink). I was going to share my combo with my preschooler since they don't have a kids meal, but the owner thoughtfully offered some fries with chicken for him. We definitely had to tip well for such nice service. So this is no ordinary sandwich, and the pictures don't do it justice. In pics it looks kind of like a pita pocket, but this thing has some HEFT. Filled with veggies, meat, and sauce, it got a little messy but was really tasty. The veggies were fresh, and it's hard to top meat sliced right off the log. My MIL said her unique hot dog was good as well. To me it looked like a Chicago dog from another dimension, but I also want to give it a try next time. Protip: Ask for your sauces on the side. They're almost too generous with it on the sandwich so it's nice to have a little more control with it. This will definitely enter the rotation and will be letting our friends know as well. Great stuff!
