OMG! How have I lived this long and never tasted Uygher cuisine? We had an amazing server who gave…read moresolid recommendations. We started with the lamb kavap and shared the ginormous chicken stew, and finished off with the honey cake. Every this was so flavorful. The lamb is served on skewers with 23 different spices. Definitely tasted cumin, paprika, peppercorns, garlic, and so many other spices! The chicken stew was so delicious. Be warned that it's big and spicy! Definitely a kick of peppercorns. I believe it's a full smashed whole chicken so each bite has bits of bones. But the chicken is stewed in a rich, spicy broth. The stew has hand made noodles, potatoes, and peppers. We finished off with honey cake which helped cooled down the spices we just ate. Lovely slice of cake with a scoop of coffee ice cream. This place gets busy but they have a digital waitlist.

I had been here a long time ago but wanted to expose my friend to something new and unique. It was…read morea Saturday evening and we luckily found street parking close by. We checked in with the host on the first floor, but she escorted us to the second floor to be seated. I always liked that this restaurant seems to be a small house converted into a restaurant since it literally makes me feel at [someone's] home. We were given QR codes to scan for the menu; not my favorite. I overheard another table ask for paper menus, so it appears there is that option. For a starter, we ordered handmade lamb dumplings and for entrees, original meefen and lamb on dry land with a side of white rice. It all ended up coming out around the same time and the tables are a little small so it felt like an overwhelming amount of food, but it was actually the perfect amount for two people. The lamb dumplings were flavorful, albeit, the wrappers were a tad too soft. The original meefen was very tasty, especially the minced meat. However, the uden noodles don't do a great job of absorbing sauces, so it felt like a lot of the oils and flavor were left behind. The lamb on dry land was good, but it was difficult to eat especially two people. We didn't realize it would be meat on a stick, similar to a turkey leg but less meaty. We ended up eating the easy parts, but took the bone home to finish out of the public eye. The crispy potatoes on top were my friend's favorite. The total was about $50 which was fair. Our waiter and other staff members did an excellent job of getting us all we needed and clearing plates as we finished. Their official website is one of the coolest I have seen since it includes audio and images, but I wish it had a description of what each item is, just like their in restaurant menu QR code.

Food: We ordered the following:…read more - falafel wrap: good texture and flavor. It's also huge! I couldn't finish the whole thing but was close lol - chicken shawarma wrap: very tender and flavorful chicken. This was also a very big wrap! My husband was able to finish it all and was stuffed. - falafel pieces: nice flavor and crispy - fries : these were super crispy and soft on the inside. The flavor was delish! Service: There was only one person working there and handling everything when we were there. He did a good job handling everything. Ambiance: It's a cute small spot. A couple of tables to sit down at but it's set up more for a takeout. There's some cool middle eastern decor in there as well. Overall, we would go back again.

I did go at 3pm and I was the only person in there, so I'm sure that had some effect on the quality of food. The rice was a little hard and cold, a majority of the toppings were fresh and crisp, but even the protein was a bit cold. The amount of sauce on top was drowning as well. The worker was very nice and walked me through the options which I appreciated.

Fries- were good but we took them to a nearby park and they didn't hold up. That's on us- but the flavor was good. This will definitely be a stop next time I'm in town.

I also love the fattoush salad- so flavorful! All of the meats (kaza maza mix), rice, hummus, mutabal, etc. were absolutely fantastic...this place was perfect for a feast. The interior is nice and cozy but I always got takeout- pro tip: order ahead and give ample time for your order. Parking is limited as well, but service was always friendly- highly recommend if you are in the area...or even if you are not!

I ordered a falafel platter and got a hummus platter. Okay, fine. I'll just eat that. They forgot literally every single thing my daughter had ordered--from the drink to the meal--essentially not even realizing she was there. Weird at best. And then the waitress tried to persuade me to pay her in cash. There was a screaming baby around the corner, surrounded by people smoking hookahs. The owner kept begging me to come join them, but it just didn't feel right at the time. He really, really wanted me to smoke. And I'm not sure why. I liked the Whitney Houston "I'm Your Baby Tonight" poster by the handwashing station. And the beef shawarma was okay, I guess.

I mainly came for the sweets, was able to get a tray of pistachio and walnut baklava, but they had a few other sweets like lady fingers and purses as well. Baklava was very good, very nice crispiness that held up for the week. I would've preferred it to have a bit more nuts and be a bit sweeter, but personal preference. Got the cheese fatayer which is just basically a cheesy bread with some herbs. So tasty, really enjoyed that! Also got a lamb kabob which came with some bread as well. The flavor here was good but didn't blow me away. Touch on the dry side too. Probably would get something else next time. They've also got coffee. I elected to get the Turkish coffee. It was thick and came in a pretty small cup, about a 3rd of that is the grounds. Fun to try, but very bitter, wouldn't recommend this either. Overall, really cool shop that seems very popular. Lots of interesting menu items to try. Definitely suggest checking it out!
