It's never been crowded whenever I go, but I notice that most of their patrons are groups of men, probably coming in for a bite after prayers. There are a few families now & then too.

There's so many options (vegetarian, meat) - something for everyone on the menu. Our hostess was also very nice as she also provided some recommendations since this was my first time being here.

The menu here is so extensive and may be overwhelming, I do recommend everything we ordered: falafel, grilled halloumi, tabouli salad, hummus beiruty, fatayer sbanek w jabne (spinach pies), frozen jellab, frozen mint lemonade, lahme bi ajin (flatbread), shish tawook platter. We split all of this amongst four people and we were stuffed. Our bill was around $260 without tip so I think it was well worth it. If you enjoy Lebanese food, this is a MUST try!

The chicken was sliced from the shawarma machine and while I know this is the authentic way, it just made for a very dry meat. The seasoning on the chicken itself was somehow not enough and yet too much at the same time. The seasoning on the chicken had this distinct flavor I did not enjoy. I did appreciate them adding the white sauce and then giving me some on the side which was much needed (without asking). As I said in my previous reviews I am searching for a good halal spot closer to home but sometimes you have to make a sacrifice for what you like!

I got up to ask if they have any hot tea, he said yes and recommended the cardamom tea . The tea was perfect beautiful delicious! Never had cardamom tea before.

I recently made a return, and it's still the same good food i I tasted before. The food is really good. I got the jerk chicken salad the first time I came, and it was delicious. This time around, I got the jerk chicken and rice plate. It was pricey, but the quality was there. So I wasn't mad. There are no tables to dine in. Have to buy and go, but im fine with that. The fact that I could get halal food inside of a restaurant that's clean and not a truck with a little Caribbean spin on it was a great idea to have. I will always make a return when I'm in the area. I would recommend this place percent. Two thumbs up, and Happy Yelping!

For dessert, we had the Albanian Tres Leches, which was good but didn't blow me away. The servers are very friendly, and I really like the atmosphere. It feels very authentically Albanian.

Our group of six ended up having a little bit of everything from sausage dip and pepper dip to Albanian dumplings to the Mix Grill Platter, and everything that we ordered was delicious. I don't think that we were able to finish everything, and we ended up taking some stuff home. However, it truly felt authentic and It felt real. We also paired that with some Albanian wine, which was delicious as well. it was a very homey location for people to come try some new food and have a hilarious and great time. I'd also be remiss if I don't call out that the bread that they gave was delicious, so light, so airy and that we were begging for more after the first round. They pair so well with the dips that we got and trust that I'll be back for more of that alongside the entire menu.

In all…read morefairness, it was my first time trying Palestinian food, and after my evening here, I guess it's not my preferred palette. Whe we arrived, I mentioned I had a reservation. The "host" didn't look us up in a system but just grabbed two menus and walked us to a table. Had he looked at our reservation, he would've seen we requested heated outside table and my son's nut allergies, but we got an indoor table. It winded up being very cold that day so we didn't correct him. I used the bathroom upon arrival and it was not clean. Smelled badly and garbage bin so overflowing that paper towel was accumulating on the floor around it. I believe if you want an idea of how clean the kitchen is, assess how clean the bathroom is. The server women are sweet, but their English wasn't fluent and communication took longer than usual. Sorting out my son's nut allergy (only allergic to cashews and pistachios but all other nuts are ok) became complicated. For example, she kept saying, "but there are no almonds" to which I replied, "yes, but almonds are ok." I had leftover pizza and asked for to-go containers but she didn't bring a pizza box. I started packing the slices in one of their round aluminum containers when I quickly ran out of room. I flagged her down and asked if they had a pizza box instead; to which she replied, "of course we do" (wonder why she didn't bring that in the first place seeing we had leftover pizza? Again, they were nice, tho. The taste of the dishes were so-so. I didn't wind up eating much, but again, this may just be preference. I have a pretty wide palette and I guess this is one of my limits. Their BK Heights location is more highly-rated and wonder if their cleanliness and service is better.
