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 found it weird that they don't serve you on real plates. We were given a sealed box of the treats and styrofoam containers as plates. I asked another friend about that and they said the same thing. The cafe closes at 8:30pm and at 8:25pm they start shutting off lights. We were finished with our food, they could have just politely said we are closing in 5 minutes. Apparently they do that often. For such a cute and cozy cafe, they definitely didn't act like they wanted people to stay and eat there.

They tried to serve my 15-year-old son a huge glass of Corona rimmed with about three ounces of…read moresalt, and then insisted that was what he had ordered. Okay, fine. No big deal. 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.

First time visiting this deli, and I'm so glad I stopped in! I actually asked ChatGPT what their…read moremost popular sandwich was, and the Atomic was recommended, so that's what I went with. Let me just say... what a great choice! I was also told that their bread comes from LaSalle Bakery, which immediately had me excited because I LOVE LaSalle Bakery. And the bread definitely did not disappoint. It was fresh, delicious, and made the entire sandwich even better. This is NOT your average deli. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and you could tell there was a lot of care put into the sandwich. I normally have a pretty good stopping point and would probably only eat half of a sandwich like this, but it was so good that I literally couldn't stop myself. I ate the entire thing! I am officially stuffed now, lol, but it was 100% worth it. The Atomic was absolutely delicious, the bread was amazing, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations for my first visit. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu. Five stars all the way!

The art on the walls are also a great touch as well as the sitting area with backgammon available to play. I also love the food and drinks they have in the grocery section. I do wish they had more selections to choose from though. In terms of more options of Russian/Armenian food like deli meat, dairy products, smoked fish, fruits/veggies, candy, cookies, juice... The prices here are steep, it's a big reason as to why I don't shop here often. It's a shame because I would love to support an Armenian business.

Awesome lunch spot. Incredible flavors and exceptional service…read more Got the 3 way combo wrap , hummus and fries. Wrap- I could eat that every day. Huge portions with all the right flavors. I didnt make any substitutions and I'm glad I didn't. Hummus- so good- recommendation is to get double the bread. We had so much left over and nothing to dip it with. 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 ordered tea for my college-bound daughter who wasn't feeling well. When I explained that she was very sick and had requested tea, the owner not only brought out her drink but also made her a second one special, just for her saying he hoped she would feel better.

Respectfully sharing an unpleasant experience from our recent visit…read more We've been loyal patrons of this restaurant for a long time, usually visiting every other Sunday with a group of 9-10 friends to enjoy good food and time together. The ambiance and general quality of the food have always been excellent, and we've genuinely appreciated that. However, during our most recent visit, we had a rather disappointing experience that I feel compelled to share--constructively and respectfully--so it can hopefully be improved going forward. We ordered a spicy fish dish that unfortunately was not up to the restaurant's usual standards. It appeared to be a frozen tilapia, not fully cooked, with a strong raw fish smell that made it quite unappetizing. I returned it and politely explained I wasn't satisfied with the quality. I even mentioned I didn't mind paying for the meal if it met basic expectations--but I was met with a dismissive smirk rather than any understanding or acknowledgment. Later, when we went to pay, we were surprised to see an unexpected charge for tea! This was especially disappointing since tea had always been served complimentary during our previous visits. There was no signage or prior communication indicating a change in this policy. When I politely asked for clarification, the lady at the counter responded very rudely and was not willing to listen. Wanting to resolve the matter calmly, I spoke with a gentleman who appeared to be closely affiliated with the owner--possibly his son. He respectfully listened to my concerns and communicated them to the owner, who ultimately agreed to deduct the charges for the fish and the tea. While I appreciate that decision, the attitude of the front staff, especially the lady at the counter, remained rude and unprofessional! There was no apology--only resistance and continued arguing. As returning customers, we didn't expect perfection--but we did expect respect and consistency. I hope this feedback is taken in the spirit of improvement, because we've enjoyed this place many times in the past and would like to continue doing so in the future. Good service is just as important as good food--and I truly hope future guests are treated with a bit more courtesy and care!! !!!A long-time customer!!!!!!!

Please note that this is NOT a fast food restaurant as advertised. This is actually a small mom &…read morepop shop with a few basic items used to cook Middle Eastern foods, serving a few prepared items, such as kibbeh, tabouleh, spinach pies, flat bread topped with zaatar, and milk pudding dessert. I was hoping to find a complete renovation from the previous business it replaced but, alas, the only thing that changed is the name and a few added items in their prepared food section. The new owners have recently immigrated to the US, so the woman who assisted me had challenges communicating with me in English. Luckily, she had a translator on her phone that translated the list of food on my text message into Arabic writing . I think these people are VERY BRAVE for starting over in a far away land. In the grocery section I bought a jar of pickled turnips for the chicken pita wraps I make at home. (Trader Joe's now sells toum, or garlic sauce, traditionally used as a condiment in Lebanon similar to garlicky mayonnaise. You can use meat from rotisserie chicken available at most local grocery stores). They also have fresh lebneh, or strained yogurt. From the prepared foods section, I highly recommend their kibbeh (if you like lamb; my hubby thought it was good) and their slow cooked chicken with Syrian rice pilaf, which is an authentic Syrian regional home cooked meal. This was delicious and the portion was perfect for the price. I also liked their milk pudding cups, though I wish the portion was larger. If you decide to try the cheese or spinach pies, you might need to baked it in the oven a while longer as they were undercooked. My four stars is for the slow-cooked chicken with rice pilaf and the milk pudding, which I will come back for. Hopefully, we will see some renovations in the future since it still looks shabby as it did before this business took over
