You can really tell the staff care about creating a great experience. The food? Incredible. If you go, you have to try the hawawshi it's perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor. And the mixed meat platter? Unreal. Everything was grilled to perfection and served hot and fresh. The atmosphere is chill but lively great music, smooth hookah, and a comfortable vibe whether you're there with friends or just relaxing solo. Definitely my new go-to lounge. Highly recommend!

I've been coming here every few weeks for almost three years to buy shisha because they sell everything needed for personal hookah use, which is a godsend because they are the only place in Harrisburg that sells Al Fakher and Starbuzz which are the two best shisha brands. I don't know if Dan is the owner, but he is the super friendly and professional, and has even given me samples of shisha and different types of coals to try before buying the whole pack. Their food is awesome and their sound system lets you plug your phone in to play your own music, which no other lounge lets you do. And they also accept Apple Pay and Samsung Pay. Keep up the great work guys! You're setting the standard for Harrisburg.

We settled on some hummus with fried meat on top and a Sambousek for appetizer. The hummus was lemony and very light and served with pita. The fried meat on top of it added nothing, however. The chicken sambousek was hot and very nice and would have benefitted from some sort of sauce to dip it in. The fatoush salad was ok. I had the msakaah which was a stewy eggplant served next to some dark rice served with a lentil soup. The soup was light and mild and matched the msakaah which was not going to over-spice anyone's palate. The other entree of shish tawook arrived as a ring of grilled chicken kabob chunks surrounding a bed of rice that was topped with zesty summer vegetables. It was a great presentation and was very ample in its portions and the winner of the evening. We were both very full at the end of the meal but life is short and so I ordered some namoura for dessert which was a dense cake, saturated with a honey sauce and topped with a pistachio glaze. It was a great dessert - solid and sweet but not too sweet. The ownership of the restaurant had recently changed hands which accounted for the barebones menu and hopefully that will change with some descriptions and pictures because if one is going to venture into a new cuisine, why not give future diners a 'heads up'? Worth going back when some of the new start-up kinks are worked out.

The owner was kind with a very thick Turkish accent. I didn't understand everything thing he said, but I immediately knew that he aimed to please and I knew I would be back. On My first visit to place an order I was met by George, who was working while the owner was out grocery shopping. I ordered lamb kabobs on brown rice and eggplant salad, and a side order of grilled asparagus. all were items on the menu. George apologized and asked if white rice was ok. I said that was fine. (Actually I was trying to look healthy,anyway) I asked that it be ready in two hours. On my return, George told me the owner wasn't back from shopping and that he didn't know what the recipe for eggplant salad was. So he improvised. I said fine, since I love eggplant. He also informed me that he was out of asparagus, and offered broccoli instead. I was disappointed, but I wanted some veggies, so I said "Fine!" I was hungry and walked a short distance to my apartment. Finally. the food review: The broccoli was hot and steaming and perfectly aldente. The lamb was the typical Slovaki. The white rice was hot and plentiful with an amazing sauce featuring figs, fava beans, Grilled jalapeño, tomatoes, and onions. Fabulous! The improvised eggplant salad was unbelievably delicious! Lightly breaded medallions of fried eggplant tossed with Parmesan, lettuce, tomatoes and a vinaigrette to die for! Sorry, not on the menu! Just my luck of the draw! Okay, so I didn't get everything as ordered. What I did get was a delicious dinner for a more than reasonable price. I will be back!
