    We have been going to this restaurant for years and it never disappoints us. The pita was hot and fresh, we love the zatar and olive oil dip. The camel wings were hot and delicious the salads crisp and not over dressed. The lentil soup is flavorful and filling. One of my kids enjoyed the chicken curry and the other the tabouleh salad and taverna salad with chicken, my husbands lamb kabob was cooked just right. There were no leftovers! The service was attentive and not intrusive . We will continue to enjoy meals there for as long as they remain in woodley park

    The food is excellent and the ambience is perfect. If I had to point one thing it would be that the service is really fast which might sound counter intuitive since you want the food to come soon - what I mean is that with a dining experience you want to spend a bit more time and our dinner for 2 was over in 1 hour and so I felt our time at the restaurant ended soon. There is no criticism for the staff they were excellent

    The food was excellent and the portions are sizable enough to take home. We were there for lunch and we didn’t have to strain to have a conversation.
