I was in town and looking for a place for lunch close to my meeting location, this popped up so I…read morethought , why not? I'm so glad I did. It's a charming small restaurant, with 14 tables (mostly 4 seaters, I think). The seats along the outside wall are a continuous bench with beautiful pillows. The host was very attentive and took my order quickly. I had falafel served on a bed of hummus with pickles neatled in the hummus and drizzled with molasses, with a pita. It was some of the best falafel I've had in a while. I'd never had hummus with pickles and molasses, but it was a surprisingly tasty combination. I also had the hot tea, which was a delicious citrusy, gingery concoction sweetened with honey. There are a lot of kebab options that sounded tempting as well - will have to try those another time!

Pros: The interior is cute and cozy. Tradition vibes. The roasted lamb was amazing. The main reason…read moreI am giving this place a 4 out of 5. Also it's halal so that's a win! Cons: Don't get the soup there wasn't much in it and didn't really have any flavor probably a 2 out of 5. The service was so so but that is probably expected with 4 people running the kitchen and tables so getting food out was a little slow.

My husband has been been reading about this newer restaurant that has hit the Madison area. We…read morehappened to be close by around the lunch hour so took the opportunity to try it out. I didn't know what to expect as I didn't take the time to check it out. When we walked into the restaurant I reality is a fast food chain. This particular restaurant is in what use to be a Hardies. It had a cool decor and we were welcomed upon entry. As we were looking o er the order board the cashier asked us if this was our first time and replied yes. He explained the spice levels and what we could substitute for sides etc. We both ordered the #3 with cheesy fries and a drink. Our meal included a chicken slider that had coleslaw and a sauce. It was more of a sandwich than slider, and another large piece of chicken that was like a half of a breast that laid on top of a piece of white bread. Dill pickle slices, a side of sauce and the cheesy fries rounded out the meal. The sandwich was delicious with the combo of coleslaw and sauce. The larger piece of chicken was surprisingly very tender and moist. The French fries were ok. If I were to go back I would skip the cheese topping. We both jumped in the ice tea as they had unsweetened, sweet, raspberry and peach. We got the sweet tea and it was pretty weak. We head south every winter and usually if I get sweet tea I will mix a little unsweetened tea into it. This sweet tea was ok with the sweetness for me but it seemed really watered down. I'm not one for fast food but I would stop back here for a piece of chicken or take out a bucket. I'm not sure how they make their chicken but it had a dry rub over a light texture, thinking the chicken may be deep fried and then Tossed in the dry rub. Our rub was medium heat. It was borderline spicy enough but next time we may try the next step in the hot spice.

I ordered the Chicken Kebab Plate with a Greek salad, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, the rice was delicious, and the salad was crisp with a generous amount of feta. To top it off, I grabbed some baklava for dessert, and it was amazing. My only complaint? I wish I had gotten more pieces! The staff was friendly, the food came out quickly, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. Easily a 10/10. No notes. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu.

Great food, attentive service, lively place. worth a short detour…read more Stopped here on our way from IL to MN and it was a great way to break up the trip. Food was tasty and served like they were plating it for photos - looked good not just mashed together. It's a take a number and we'll bring your food kind of place yet the service was excellent. The server was attentive and helpful - suggesting with a baby we may want to sit outside since inside was a bit loud and crowded. Had baklava too but forgot to take a photo. $35 or so for the two menu items and baklava which felt like a little too much. Had a small handful of fries been included I would have been happier.

I went there and got the mixed entree for two, and somehow all three meats were so delicious. They cook it on an authentic turkish grill, which really gives it a different flavor.

It is a vagetarian dish with rice, noodles, pasta sauce and topped with fried onion. It was good. There was no choice to add meat to this dish. Lamb, chicken and beef kabob was my other item.

Also samosa was completely flavorless & papad was dry and burnt. however the matter paneer was decent even if the portion size was ridiculously small & mango lassi was good. Overall, however, would not recommend!
