    Amethyst G.

    First and foremost, I'd like to start with the fact that the food was great. I don't have any real complaints about it at all, and I enjoyed all of it. The aesthetic is simple, but very clean and minimally decorated. Intended for casual settings and family friendly. I went with my friend, and we were greeted nicely upon walking in and allowed to sit where we pleased. The owner was also very polite and was sure to make certain that we had everything we needed. Unfortunately, this is where it gets bad. Upon exiting the owner gave me a top for my very refreshing, frozen mint lemonade. As soon as I walked out the door, I slipped on about 2 cups of rice that had been sprinkled right in the center of the walkway to the establishment. Why you ask? Well the waitress thought it was kind to feed the birds directly outside of the restaurant and where patrons walk into the restaurant. I screamed in pain to the point where neighboring businesses came out to check on me as well as the waitress who seated us. My frozen lemonade splattered all over the floor. I took some time to walk around and walk off the pain and burning sensation from my freshly skinned kneecap. I returned back to the establishment, and it was my hope that due to the unfortunate matter of my circumstance, I would be compensated with a new drink. I went to the bathroom to clean my kneecap while my friend requested a new drink for me, as I was walking out the door, I was asked by the waitress was I going to pay for the drink?! I couldn't be more stunned as my knee was throbbing, and I was looking dead in the face of the cause of my problems, the waitress that decided throwing rice out for the birds was better than the safety of the customers was asking me to pay for a THIRD, six dollar frozen mint lemonade. I shook my head and made my way to the counter to pay for essentially her mess up. I promised the owner I'd leave a review and I did just that, but I am highly upset that when she knew she made a mistake she couldn't think at the very least to compensate me for an absolutely preventable situation. If management would like to reach out to make things right, I would happily come back and leave an updated review.

    Chicken tikka family style

    My nephew ordered takeout and we ATE! This food is very very good! I had the beef tikka plate and the chicken as well and it did not disappoint! I hope to make it to the restaurant so I can grade the service and vibes of the place.

    Chicken Shwarma
    Winfred S.

    A friend recommended this place to us. We had tried some of the neighboring Middle Eastern restaurants in the area so we thought we would give it a try. It is officially Egyptian food. It is a hole in the wall located next to a grocery store. It was well decorated and very clean. I had the Chicken Shawarma and my friend had the Lamb Kebab. He it was the tastiest lamb he had had in a while. The Lentil Soup was also delicious. The service was prompt and the owner came out to greet us. He gave as a side of rice to try. It was tasty as well. Give this place a try if you are in the neighborhood.

    Absolutely love the combo for 2 people. Generous portions with 6 skewers. Unfortunately they ran out of beef skewers so we got 4 ground beef and 2 chicken. I love the ground beef. For our sides, we got lentil soup and rice. Even with three people, we had leftovers. Great place for the budget and the food amount.

    Great find! Food was delicious. Tried a little bit of everything. Didn't get the chance to take pics of all. Salad was to die for! Hummus was very tasty. You must try today. Even if you aren't hungry, stop in for mint lemonade, you won't regret on a hot day. Plenty of seating, bring the whole family. Service was very friendly & helpful if you don't know what to order.

    This place is absolutely amazing. The customer service is incredible and the staff will answer questions for you about various foods if you had questions like we did, there were answers so educationally and compassionately. The salad they are know for is phenomenal. The fish and chicken were seasoned to perfection.

    Family Feast for 3 with rice, chicken, and beef tikka

    This is genuinely one of the best Mediterranean spots I've ever been! If you're going for the first time definitely get the family feast! The flavors were amazing, the staff were super welcoming and helpful! Everything was Top Tier!

    Food never disappoints and neither do the prices. Best Falafel in town, and the chicken shawarma is excellent.

He walked us through the choices telling which had garlic and which were garlic free. The portions were very generous and the food was delicious. The bread is baked on the premises.

It was so good. The restaurant was hosting a 2026 Graduation Party in an adjoining room to the main restaurant, so the noise level was a bit high, but it was happy noise.

The varied menu and the price point were just right. You pick up a cafeteria tray and point to what you'd like. I opted for the 6 item veggie plate. Portions were very filling! I tried a rocket salad, pita bread, beet salad, lentil soup, hummus and chickpea salad. In other words, a feast!! The food was very good. I also opted for a Diet Pepsi and a baklava. The salads were crispy and delicious - I loved the vinaigrette dressing which was perfectly tart. I wish I'd tried the coffee with my dessert - the baklava was a bit dry. I wish they'd opened a private side room for our party. Our table felt a bit cramped and it was a challenge to scoot into the very long booth seat which was closed off where they pushed tables together. On the whole, a really nice place and I'd definitely return!

Their food is always so pretty and fresh, whether you eat in the restaurant or get delivery/takeout. The restaurant is very cozy and cute inside, not big, but you could fit a good sized group in here (I'd call ahead). Order anything and you'll love it. Their hummus and baba ganoush are both beyond delicious every time, and their grilled meats (any of them) have so much flavor and never seem to by dry. The lentil soup is super velvety and well seasoned. The falafel is so herbaceous. Y'all know I can't eat pita but my husband and child are obsessed with it. We are big big fans of Fattoush and it continues to be a good regular dinner option for us!

For dessert, we tried the Baklava Sundae; chef's kiss. I'm not sure what kind of ice cream flavor it was (did not taste like pistachio), but it was amazing. It was very light, semi sweet and had pieces of pistachio inside. Definitely 1 of 1. Our server was amazing, and knowledgeable about the menu. She didn't steer us wrong on any of the recommendations.
