And the pita bread was top-notch, probably some of the best we've had. We all loved it! My husband and I shared the lamb shish kebab, but unfortunately, it wasn't our favorite. The meat was a bit tough and not cooked quite the way we like it, which made it hard to chew. That said, the wait staff were incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere was so cute and cozy, making the whole experience still enjoyable. I would definitely come back to try a different dish next time. There's a lot on the menu that looked amazing!

I had to keep trying to get my server's attention to order. I asked her is she has samosa here, she said she will find out, never came back. What seemed like an a life time, she popped up by the bar area when she did, I had to keep trying to get her attention, and she took the slowest catwalk walk to my table, like I was bothering her or something. I felt bad for giving this place 3 starts, because the food is really taste and fully of flavors!! But the severe and the hostess was indifferent and bothered by my presences.

I was curious and ordered their lamb lunch box with rice, hummus, and salad. The box looked exactly as good as in the menu picture. While I did not love the salad, the rice, lamb, and hummus were delicious. For dessert, a strong coffee and baklava! The service was just okay.

Our waitress was very attentive to our older guests and patient! The traditional humus is outstanding. And don't get me started on the lamb chops. WOW!!! What an amazing delightful meal!!! Next time I would pass on the eggplant humus, the regular humus was way too delicious. They only have baklava for dessert and my family loved it. It was fresh and tasteful. Don't miss out on their Turkish coffee. It was yummy!!! The restaurant is clean, ambiance is more like a traditional old world place. Don't miss out! And save space for the ribs. You'll want to have seconds.

We came back on Sunday and were promptly greeted and seated right away. The staff was very friendly, and the inside was cozy with decor styled in Mediterranean. The drinks were delicious and refreshing. As for the food, we had the hummus, salad, and kebabs, all of which were very delicious. I wish we had more time to enjoy, but they were wrapping up for the night, and we didn't want to keep them. I recommend going early and not too late since they seem to stick to the closing time. Overall, I had a great time and would definitely go back for the belly dancing show. Mediterranean food in PR--who knew!

Limited parking spaces in front and no street parking. It seems like a chill spot to have a meal or just enjoy some tea. We started off with some baba Gus push and falafels. I love falafels and these didn't disappoint. Satisfaction in every bite. The baba ghanoush was also superb. I can only imagine the hummus must be off the chain too. The pita bread was warm and delicious. For main course I was between the sharearma plate or the kofta plate. I went with the beef kofta. It came with rice and salad. The sides were really good but the kofta was a bit dry. I thought it was well seasoned, though. Next time I'll try the shawarma. They also have shawarma sandwiches and falafel sandwiches. My wife got the lamb shush kebab plate and loved it. The meat was tender and juicy and well seasoned. The baklava was disappointing. Overall, the meal was very good. It did take a while to arrive and we were the only ones in the restaurant. In their defense, the food is fresh and prepared to order so that can take some time to make. Our server was friendly. I would recommend checking this place out and giving it a try.

Nothing stands out. But don't let that fool you, the inside is nice. It was early so we were most likely the first customers of the day. We started off with falafels. Very fresh, perfect taste. I'm sure it helped that the oil was also fresh because we'd arrived early, but I'm sure they're always fire. We also ordered the Labneh. This was also good. For the main course I went with the mix platter. It was a good way to try the different meats: chicken, lamb, and beef. It came with rice, salad, and hummus. Perfect for one person. Very tasty. Loved the rice and salad. Overall, great spot not far from San Juan. Worth the trip.
