    The shish taouck and the lamb chops were both so tender and delicious! The sampler was excellent. Would definitely order the same again next time we go back.

    My group of 10 birthday celebrants felt very cared for with great service. Simply the best lamb chops I ever ate. Server was amazing and all the dishes were beautiful.

    The food was incredible; it tasted like mom was cooking in the kitchen! Service and ambiance were great, and the portion sizes were perfect.

    The restaurant is not really enticing from outside because of the graffiti but once you’re inside , the place is very clean. Food and service are both excellent . I will come back there again . I just wish they will update the facade of the restaurant .

    The chicken kabob was good. The steak kabob was really well done and dry. The service was good. The ambiance was okay but the smoke from the patio could be smelt. I liked it okay but I’m unsure if I’d return.

    Delicious and plentiful food, served by a gracious and attentive staff, in a tall ceiling, attractive space. Bring your own wine if you want some - no corkage fee charged. Excellent value and experience- we will be back.

    Amazing food, and place! I will be back! I just hate the location because of too many people and homelessness on the street.
