Have never seen such care to what's on the walls of any restaurant. This location downtown has amazing historic Iraqi art on the walls. The one on Alberta in NW has awesome historical photos.

Then the other kabob with another onion and tomato for dinner. Tzatziki and hummus are amazing too. Lamb shank is literally fall off the bone. 10/10

I think they try and get…read moreaway with sending meals out on delivery that they know would be sent back and refused if ordered at the restaurant itself. Absolute RIP-OFF! Pictured is a "half pound of brisket" for $23.00 and 60%-70% of it is just inedible fat! What was edible (3.4 ounces), was honestly disgusting and looks nothing like the photos they show online, as you can see for yourself. $11.00 for a cup of sour smelling banana pudding that was immediately tossed in the trash. $4.00 for a "chicken breast" that was literally 2 bites... This is the second and last time we will ever order from them again. I have never been more disappointed in an order of food in my entire life. We spent over $70 for the brisket as shown, a small salad with 2 bites of chicken, soggy coleslaw and sour banana pudding. Beyond unacceptable! Never again and truly hope this saves someone else from the disappointment that Reverend's BBQ truly is. Complete waste of money! Edit: It has been about 45 minutes since I ate what little of the brisket that was actually meat and not just fat, and I am extremely nauseous. Not worth the money, disappointment or naseau. Just looking at the photo alone, I wonder why I even tried eating it. Absolutely disgusting.

Visited their brick-and-mortar store for the first time and had a really good time! Ambience was…read moreamazing, fun, friendly, and colorful. Inside is filled with plants and lights. The high ceiling made the space super open. Food was delicious too! We got the Wing Trio and the Goat Stew Jollof Meal to share with a side of Fufu. Everything went super well together. I particularly love the Suya Wings in Tamarind and Mango Sauce. The sauce of the Goat Stew was also flavorful but the meat itself was rather dry. Overall, not bad though with all the sides that it came with. Incredible staffs all around. You definitely get what you paid for. Come hungry cause their portions are huge!

It had a smoked/burnt flavor that I didn't like but it's just personal preference. The star of the show was def the jollof rice and the suya wings. Another thing to note was they had live music playing which I thought wasn't necessary considering how small the restaurant was and how loud the music was. My friends and I had to talk really loud to hear each other. We were also charged a live music fee at the end ?! Didn't like paying for something I didn't ask for nor did I enjoy having the live music there.

Reviewing the menu, there were lots of yummy things to choose from but ultimately we both could not resist the Lamb shank. I'm sad I didn't take a picture of it. It was so tender and delicious. It came with perfect Basmati rice and a side of eggplant stew that was exquisite! I've never had eggplant stew and it was luscious. I dream to about it all night long. It was quiet, comfortable, music was great; songs we all know but with native instruments and flare. We had house red wine - not a big selection of alcohol, which is fine the food is and should be the star. Our sever (Sorry my old lady brain forgot his name) but the good looking bald guy(LOL) was nice and personable. It was such a great low key dining experience that just made the day even better. I highly recommend this cute place and we will be back- there are a lot more wonderful food to try!

Small Pharoah's is one of…read morethe first food cart gems I found when I moved here ten years ago and after going for the first time in awhile, I'm happy to report it's still going strong. While the lamb gyro is no longer a you-had-to-see-it-to-believe-it $5, it's still good value for money (I think it is $8-10 now). The meat is incredibly tender and it's loaded down with mix of grilled, pickled and fresh veggies, and then thoroughly sauced. Plus it's a hefty size; if you're not a big eater you could easily make two meals out of it. Long live the Pharoah!

From the appetizers to the lamb shank to the multiple cheesecakes- beyond amazing. This is not "Mediterranean" or "Greek" food. This is not a "gyro place". This is authentic Saudi and words do not describe how amazing the food is prepared and served by the kindest family you could ever hope to meet. Spoke to a couple 20-something Saudi guys who had traveled from Seattle to eat food like their moms and grandmas made in their childhoods. They ordered a lot of food and cleaned their plates happily. I am going back next week to try the other half of the menu and cannot wait! This is a must- go restaurant as there is something for everyone, vegan, vegetarian or carnivore The cheesecakes? Home made and mind-bending. Oh, the saffron tea? OMG. Never tasted anything like it. GO!!!! You can thank me later.

The sauce they use with the chicken and rice is great and is worth buying to take home to make your own dishes better. There is a good amount of seating both inside and out. I also tried the pork which was good but I prefer the chicken so will stick to that on a future visit. I have tried a lot of places that do the same thai style chicken and rice and it's almost always a miss for me, something is always off, usually the chicken is touch, or too dry, or lacking flavor but here it just hits right.

Pork and rice are pretty tasty and I would recommend you getting it if you like pork. Pork and rice set also provides some veggies which added variety and flavors. We also got mango sticky rice. It tastes good but I won't say it's a must have. 2. Services: this is a half serf serving restaurant. They will bring foods to you. But you have to serve your own water/tea, chili sauce etc. But this is expected. You can enjoy a little bit of the street food vibe here. Overall, the cost is pretty reasonable if you want a quick bite and if you don't need many food options or if you want to try out this experience.

The babaganoush was smooth, smoky, and super flavorful without being too heavy. Portions were generous and everything came out fresh.

Nicholas Restaurant has a really cute, welcoming vibe, with outdoor tables and plenty of seating inside. They have a great selection of drinks, and I decided to try the house Arnold Palmer--made with fresh lemonade and cinnamon mint iced tea. It was unique and really refreshing. We started with a few appetizers for the table: hummus, tzatziki, and falafel balls. Everything came out quickly and was a hit. The hummus tasted incredibly fresh, the tzatziki had a nice tangy kick, and the falafel balls were perfectly crispy and flavorful. For my main, I ordered the chicken breast kabob plate, which came with two skewers, rice, tzatziki, and garlic sauce. The chicken was incredibly tender and cooked just right. Overall, a great meal with fresh, flavorful food and a relaxed atmosphere. I can definitely see why my family keeps coming back--this spot is well worth a visit.

The waiter was very nice and brought us cold water and utensils. I ordered a beer and my friend ordered a chai. He ordered the korma, and I ordered the Afghani Reshmi. His korma came out much quicker than mine, but that was okay. We also ordered garlic naan and roti. The garlic naan and the roti are truly amazing. They were tender and soft and had a great flavor. His korma was pretty good too! He says it's some of the best he can get locally. The star of the attraction was the Afghani Reshmi. I have never had this dish before or had even heard of it, but it was amazing! Flavorful and juicy chicken, onions and chilies....it was amazing. The only negative that I experienced at all was the music was incredibly loud at some points and at other times very quiet. Which wouldn't have been odd, but when I say loud, I mean you had to talk louder to the person across the table to hear them. I didn't ding the rating tho, because I imagine that was a fluke. Plus the food was really good. They did say their menu is in flux right now, so some of the things on it are changing... But overall I highly recommend this place.
