It is possible that the ambiance will cause you to halt when you first come in because it is somewhat humble and bare-bones, but you should not let this discourage you. The service is always attentive and courteous, and there is plenty of space available, particularly to accommodate families near the front of the establishment. Despite the fact that it took some time to make, the chicken mandi that I ordered was served scorching hot, fresh, and well worth the wait. The chicken mandi is made with halal meat. I added some heat to it by using the sauces and spicy sauce that were provided, which really brought out the true tastes of the dish. Do not pass up the opportunity to indulge in genuine Middle Eastern cuisine in Worcester; this restaurant is not to be missed!

Also it was my birthday and they sang 2 different Lebanese style birthday songs for me, and the belly dancer pulled me up to dance with her. The food was a fixed menu of family style eating with constant amazing food coming out throughout the night. The food was fresh and tasted amazing! I was with a group of 10, the tables are round so it was perfect for conversation before the entertainment started. Cons- It was on the pricier side, for 10 people, a few only had one drink, one didn't drink, and several had a few drinks and the bill was over $1200. The place had 75% empty tables. It seemed to take a while for the show to start. Before the show, it was bright, with no background music and with all the empty tables it just felt odd. Once the show came on though the whole vibe changed.

I remembered previously ordering a Chicken Shawarma Plate. That is now in the "Specialties" section of the menu and that's what I ordered expecting to get the same plate of delicious chicken, rice, salad and hummus. I was shocked that this $20 "Specialty" consisted of a dry chicken wrap, french fries, some sort of yogurt dip and AWFUL, salty pickled vegetables. The fries were good but you don't go to a specialty Mediterranean place to get fries with a meal described as a plate. Apparently, you can no longer get a true plate of chicken shawarma with rice here. I do plan to return again some day and try the Kofta Kebab or Mixed Grill Plate from the "Entree" section since these still come with rice but everyone should be avoiding the "Specialties" plates as these are poorly executed and severely overpriced. Regardless of what you are ordering, I would highly recommend calling in your order to confirm exactly what you are going to get with your order since the online menus have no details whatsoever.

Spicy chicken they offered sold me. The food did the talking. I did not hesitate to go in and order a good bowl. Ordered spicy chicken Buddha bowl and it was so tasty. If you like spicy curry, this is the bowl to try. Chicken was moist and the flavors were all sorts of wizardry tasting. Bursts of flavor. Bowl consist of mixt greens, basmati rice, spicy chicken, corn, bell Peppers, onion, sour cream, parmesan. They have some other items on menu that also seem appealing--something on the healthier side if that's what you're looking for. Vibe in the restaurant was really chill. Tough to tell you're in the market itself. Also have coffee offerings. Bowl was a bit pricey but sadly... what food isn't these days? Parking is a bit tough since it's street parking or parking lot.
