It's a BYO, so be sure to bring whatever adult beverage you like and they will serve it to you. The mixed appetizer platter had something for everyone. Their hummus is fresh and delicious. Also comes with babaghanoush (smoked eggplant w/tahini, garlic, lemon and olive oil), lebni (strained yogurt w/ walnuts, garlic and dill), & stuffed grape leaves. It comes with plenty of pita bread to spread or dip with. I absolutely loved the zucchini pancakes because they were not at all greasy! We also ordered the Turkish tea and coffee to enjoy there but were too full for dessert. They have something for everyone. Stop in and enjoy delicious food in a calm and peaceful setting. They also give you delightfully scented hand wipes before sending you back into the real world.

I was really in the mood for a gyro; really in the mood. On Friday afternoon 9/5/25 at 2pm I went…read morein hungry, and I came out disappointed. Easy parking in an adjacent lot. Friendly staff. I was served water and warm pita wedges; ordered a gyro. Nice ambiance. First I was given an ample serving of a delicious shepherd salad, and I was psyched for my gyro. Served with a portion of warm pilaf (delicious) and a couple of limp lettuce leaves and a wedge of tomato, the gyro meat was mediocre, at best: obviously not freshly sliced, it was dry and tough. As usual, the tzatziki sauce served wasn't enough. Plus the lunch special I ordered was supposed to include a soda, and I chose iced tea instead (which I was charged for). All in all, quite disappointing. Forgettable. Not for me. Once is enough.

We had no idea there would be a buffet until we arrived. We decided to try both the buffet and…read moreorder entrées so we could really compare and rate the food. The buffet started about 30 minutes later than what we later found was listed on their Facebook page, and the staff didn't seem to know what would be served, so we could just move forward with our entrée. The drinks were fresh, and the food was clearly made fresh too, but having eaten Middle Eastern food in Iraq and Turkey, I was hoping for a bit more spice and depth. The service could definitely improve -- especially communication and friendliness. The young lady serving us came off standoffish, while the younger gentleman who seated us was kind and welcoming but seemed out of the loop. We live about 30 minutes away up on Mt. Bethel and had lost power earlier that day, so we were dressed more for warmth after trick-or-treating -- maybe that's why we felt like we weren't being fully "trusted" customers. We spent almost $200.00 with tip for 4 people. Prices are great! That was 2 buffets, 2 kids meals, a starter and two entrées and 6 drinks. Cool vibe overall, live DJ, and lots of potential.

Everything was fresh and the dips paired perfectly with the baked pita. The only item I didn't care for was the tabouli. It's not because it wasn't good, it's because I don't like parsley like that. 8.1/10 Fried Calamary - solid, but I didn't like that it was served with cold marinara. 7.4/10 Traditional Barbecue Wings - heavily breaded, with the sauce poured over them instead of tossed, leaving some parts of the wing dry and others drenched. 7.2/10 Daddy's Mixed Grill - a combination of grilled beef, chicken, kafta, and lamb kabob. All entrées come with two sides, and I chose the rice topped with almonds, which was amazing, and the soup of the day, Italian wedding, served nice and hot with plenty of meatballs. The meats were good, but I've had them more tender and flavorful elsewhere. 7.7/10 Overall, the food was good, as was the service. I didn't love it, though, and for me, it didn't quite live up to the hype.

I arrived just before their three o'clock lunch break and was accommodated by their daughter (who was really friendly and kind). I ordered a chicken shawerma Haifa sandwich, and I watched my pita being toasted over a charcoal fire (she used a fan to literally fan the coal fire). I needed to use two hands, and from my first bite I was in nirvana. I asked and was given a fork and extra sauce. Remarkably good falafel, delicious chicken, and oh, that secret sauce. It's right on Speedwell (a busy street) near a funky intersection that gets tied up quickly. Do yourself a favor and park on a side street a block away: you'll whet your appetite on the walk there, and float in bliss on your way back. Superb. Great value. Just a gem. I will most definitely return and highly recommend it.

The ground lamb didn't overpower the already expertly executed hummus and added fantastic depth and richness. We also sprung for the grilled calamari tubes and the chef did a great job of not overcooking while achieving an excellent char. We shared the baked cod and the spice was delicate and perfect. Using cured lemon was a very clever idea as the sauce was not too strong but still had depth; the saffron and turmeric were well balanced. The fish itself was NOT overcooked and flaked perfectly. The vegetables were also executed well and cooked so they could be eaten with the same bite. The star of the show was still the cook on the fish with the wonderful sauce. The sever gave us some Moroccan mint tea which was also wonderful. We will be making the drive from the Maine Line to just to dine here again.

We were seated after the people who walked in after us. Some tables received water and no complimentary bread/olives while others received no water but complimentary bread/olives. Our bread was also sitting out for some time as the baker was not present to make it fresh at the time. It appeared very stale. The restaurant was half empty but it took over an hour (in addition to the understood 25 minute maklouba prep) for our main entree to come out. When it did, there was no apology and we had to ask if the accompanying labneh was on its way for the maklouba. The maklouba itself had rice grains not fully cooked. The server was avoiding eye contact as we tried to ask for more napkins, water and an update on our order. It then took another thirty minutes for us to get the check and pay, which was only possible because we got up. We watched as people waited so long to not only be seated but to also check out. The menu has a lot to offer of the Palestinian culture but the lack of service, lack of freshness and lack of efficiency won't have us coming back.

I love finding places with good food at great prices! The only small disappointment was that we asked for all flats on the wings and were willing to pay the upcharge, but they wouldn't accommodate the request for some reason. We decided to dine in, and the restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly and welcoming. They offer both dine-in and takeout and accept cash and all major credit cards. My biggest regret? Not trying one of the desserts! They had a great selection on display, and they looked amazing. I've been in this area many times and somehow never noticed this place. I'm so glad I was finally introduced to it. The menu is huge, so there's truly something for everyone. You really can't go wrong here. Absolutely delicious--I will definitely be back!
