    Zatar, Falafel Bowl

    Falafel Bowl is so good my fav. So yummy. The Zatar is perfection. 10/10. Yummy! :) the Falafel Bowl is my go to. It has everything I need to get me going. The Zatar is delicious the spices are so good and fresh and the olive oil is really flavorful and quality. The Falafel bowl has a variety of flavors and textures and blends perfectly together in a bowl. The Falafels are the topping on the cake. So good.

    Steak Shawarma Meal

    The steak shawarma was very underwhelming on the website it promises a flavorful steak/Perfectly seasoned and it was neither of those things it literally tasted like noting to me.

    We dine here to celebrate our classmate & friend birthday. The food was excellent. Everyone had a different meal and Amina and her staff were absolutely great. If you are in the area stop in to enjoy some delicious Mediterranean food.

    Sunday, I had the pleasure of eating a late lunch here. The outdoor patio scene was perfect for catching up with old friends. The right kind of intimate but open airy setting. The waterfall in the background made the scene so picturesque. The food was okay, nothing above average. It was a bit lukewarm, not hot like I prefer it. I also wish they had more drink options like diet or zero sugar. The staff was welcoming, but one waitress in particular was a little too obsessive. She kept interrupting our quality time, trying to provide samples of some kind of lemonade. After about the third visit to our table, I became annoyed. I also wish they provided table servicing for guest dining in. The overall beauty of the restaurant was astonishing. I just loved the indoor piano and how all the staff were wearing either Hijab or Taqiyah. I will certainly dine here again.

    Solid food, fair pricing

    We dined on a Sunday night around 8 PM and were seated right away, which was a great start. We…read moreordered the mixed grill plate, a Nutella shake, and I asked for water. The salad and hummus came out within a few minutes and the food itself was actually very good. No water given at this time. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. We waited almost an hour for our main entrée, had to ask for the water again, and the Nutella shake we ordered was never served at all. Our server was not attentive throughout the night. One more thing to watch out for -- a 15% tip was automatically added to the bill, so make sure to check before paying. The food was enjoyable, but the poor service really affected the overall experience.

    Dined in yesterday. I wasn't greeted. I ordered the mixed grill plate and appetizer of chicken…read morewings. The soups, salad and baba ghanouj were all excellent. Pot of Arabian coffee was fresh. The meat in the mixed grill was alright. The waitress was ditzy and not too attentive. When the waitress wasn't anywhere to be found I asked the bus boy for two to go boxes, he gave me a mean look and didn't speak. The waitress didn't serve water for my guest and I. Also she didn't ask if we wanted any dessert. I found better restaurants with much better service in the area that's where I will dine at in the future. Also the waitress didn't offer my guest and I any water or asked us if we'd like any dessert.
