  I have been here numerous times and I always forget to take a picture of my food because I'm too excited to eat it. This is authentic as one can get with middle eastern food. It feels like I've been invited over to eat at one's house instead of an actual restaurant, due to the attention to flavor and detail. For those looking for an intro dish, I'd recommend the Chicken Kabab Plate. The chicken has a great lemon seasoning, and the rice is a great balance to it. Please order the tabbouleh as your side option over the greek salad, for a full flavor of middle eastern greens. Avoid the soda (not that theirs anything wrong with them) and opt for the lemonade, which is made with rose water. The best lemonade you will have if you appreciate flavor over just tons of sugar (but theirs a good balance of both in their lemonade). If you want dessert, the coffee is strong and unique, which should be paired with baklava. The bitterness of the coffee and the sweetness of the baklava balance each other out perfectly. The only downside to this place is that it closes at 7 pm, but its the perfect spot for lunch or an early dinner.

  This place is amazing. There are vegan options, and everyone who works here is super nice. I try to make it here once a week! I usually get the falafel sandwich.

  The proprietor of this little grocery and restaurant is incredibly warm and welcoming. He's what distinguishes the place from any other strip mall restaurant. The food is reliably solid, like mom would make if she were Middle Eastern, Lebanese or Syrian. The baklava is heavenly. Their pita is also wonderful. Go try it.

  I love this place. Advise to management, speed it up a little bit. I've ordered take out, shown up when they said to show up and still waited 10 minutes. That happens every time. However, it's so tasty that it's worth it

  Another favorite, I love how sweet and kind the owners are. The food is good, fresh, they have wonderful desserts, like baklava, and fresh baked pita bread! 😍 The lemonade is soo delicious, best lemonade! Made with honey not sugar, rose water, and orange blossom water 😋💞 And a cute little grocery store well stocked with spices, olives, coffee, rose, orange blossom and other waters for cooking, frozen pita breads, deserts. Lots of goodies!
