The meal comes with their uniquely flavored yellow rice. Delicious! I really like their homemade Baklava deserts, which come with or without pistachio nuts (your choice). I've always had great service and enjoyed my visits. The seating area is plenty large enough, cozy and charming, with lovely paintings to look at while dining. There is a restroom for guests. I've seen a lot of military personnel eat here. It's a popular place with great food. Adjacent to the restaurant they have a small grocery store if you'd like to buy Palestinian foods.

I ordered a pickup plate and I was blown away by the service. 1. They offer military discount! 2. They offered me some tea and a Turkish coffee complimentary during my wait! 3. They were kind enough to gift me a dessert! I was blown away by the generosity and the kindness of the associate. The inside is also very nice, lots of space for tables and lots of room for a family style meal. The food prices have increased a lot since the uploaded menu photos like on Google!!!! It's pretty pricey, but huge portions! I ordered a Shrimp Kabob Plate and subbed one of the kabobs for chicken. I also ordered an extra side of Tahini (not tzatziki) sauce. I will say the portion of the protein was not as much as I would like on first glance, but it was A LOT OF FOOD! The portion of the entire plate itself was huge. Two cups of rice, two salads, one huge pita, the meat proteins and one tzatziki sauce. I loved the pickled onions on the salad, so flavorful and delicious! Unfortunately, I was accidentally given two tzatziki sauces instead of an extra tahini, but accidents happen! No problem! I just LOVE garlic, so I felt like the flavors I was desiring was missing? Again, I love garlic lol. I think that the bread, when it came out was warm... got stale really fast? There were only 3 chicken pieces, but they were HUGE! I just think I need to explore more sauce options, because I felt like something was missing. But I still ate a TON and was satisfied after. I was really blown away by the customer service there. The associate, I'm not sure if he was the owner or not, but was extremely generous and kind! He was super friendly, had a smile on his face, and the small goodies really blew me away and made my day better. Thank you!

I shopped while I waited for my order. They had Galab Jamun in the store. I brought 4 home. I heated two in the microwave for 30 seconds which was perfect. They had an ever so slight hint of cardamom. I found some frozen Sri Lankan dish that I love. I ordered some curried eggplant which was delicious. Would definitely order again. Also had samosas. 3 for $5.99. They too were very good but small. I'd rather get two bigger ones for that price so I could get more filling, which was good. I bought quite a few things. They also had Persian groceries. I'm definitely going back on my way back to Tampa. I'll definitely bring some Galab Juman home.

The service was quick but can take longer if they are extremely busy. Go early!!! A line forms and continues thru the dinner hour. There are two places side by side one serves all steamed seafood and the other spot serves fried, baked/broiled/sauteed. All equally delicious. You order at the counter, and pick up at the steaming place and they bring it to your table at the other place. The indoor seating is limited. Run, don't walk! Go early! BYOB if that's your pleasure. We went there twice in 5 days and I am a food snob. For some reason I was more interested in diving in than taking pictures. Enjoy! This was my second year, we stay at the Beal House Hotel across the street. That's another great story! And.... You are welcome
