We've ordered takeout from this little Syrian spot in Niles at least ten times now. And I don't say…read morethis lightly...there has never been an off day. Not once. The consistency alone is enough to keep us coming back, but the food itself? It's something special. Let me start with the hummus. I don't even know how to say this without sounding dramatic, but it's hands down the best hummus we've ever had. It's unbelievably smooth, rich, and somehow manages to go with everything. And yes...I'm going to say it...dip your fries in it. Trust me on that one. And order the large size hummus to take home with you. The rice deserves its own moment too. Perfectly cooked, just the right amount of richness. I'm not sure if it's butter or oil or some magic in between, but whatever they're doing, it works. It's the kind of rice you keep eating even when you're full. We usually go for the chicken over rice, which comes with peppers and onions, and it's always flavorful, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. This is not bland food. Everything has depth. We've also had the three-meat combo (lamb, chicken, and beef), and every single piece is tender and cooked just right. It all comes together with that incredible red sauce and the garlic sauce...which I always order extra because I refuse to run out halfway through the meal. Add in the pita for the hummus, and it's just one of those meals you look forward to the entire drive home. And speaking of the drive...we will happily go 35-40 minutes out of our way just to pick this up. That should tell you everything. On top of all that, it's a family-owned place, and you can feel it. Customer service is warm and thoughtful. You'll often see the husband and wife there, sometimes their kids, and I believe his mother is in the kitchen and honestly, it shows. There's something about the food that feels cared for, not just made. We've tried a few different things on the menu and everything has been great, but the dishes I mentioned are what keep calling us back. Highly, highly recommend!!

It's small but deserves more business, they were friendly and helpful. Our meals were delicious. I even order some for later since I was headed to work. Next time I'm going to try the baklava, was too full last time. If you like Mediterranean food, can't recommend enough. It's a small, cozy spot. It's across from acme so it's in a small plaza. I thought I took pics, sorry about that.

The hummus' texture was different than other versions I've tried from other middle eastern cuisines, but the flavor was fantastic. As for the platter, WOW, I didn't expect that depth of flavor.

The dessert case looked amazing and there's many other dishes I want to try. I'll be returning.

It was a lovely way to start the meal. The Grape leaves were rolled perfectly and they were hands down one of the best I have had in Youngstown.

We arrived at noon. And within minutes the lunch crowd was in and everyone enjoyed the meals ordered. Portions are plentiful. Waiter was exceptional. We went thursday (yesterday).
