We have been here so many times with the group of 8–10 people each time. This might be our last time there. Thursday night service was not good. -Food did not come out hot -they brought out the essence cocktails with no bubble, just as is -berrylicous cocktails tasted like pure sugar -shortly after the food was served the waitress and an older man wearing an apron started collecting our plates while we were still eating without asking us a single question -when we were about to place an order, we were notified that their oven is not working and items from the menu are not available or cannot be served the way they are always served. This might be our last time there.

I visited this restaurant yesterday, and while the food was generally good, the service and organization were not at the level I expected. There were several items on the menu that were unavailable or sold out, which was disappointing. More importantly, the service did not feel very professional or well coordinated. Normally, when ordering cold appetizers and hot appetizers, the cold appetizers should arrive first, followed by the hot appetizers, and then the main course. However, at our table, the dishes arrived in a very disorganized order—hot appetizers came first, followed by cold appetizers, then more hot dishes. The appetizers were also not served together; instead, they arrived one plate at a time. I mentioned this to the staff and asked if they could coordinate the service better. I was told that they would correct the issue, but unfortunately, the same pattern continued. Overall, it is a good restaurant with good potential, but I believe it needs someone in the dining room who can better manage and coordinate the service. With better organization and attention to timing, the overall dining experience could be much better.

Love this place! Been coming here for years and food/ service is always impeccable! Staff here are traditionally welcoming and hospitable. Ambiance of live music and belly dancing is top notch! They also brought back hookah which is another plus. I will continue to come here for their amazing filets and amazing acoustic guitar music.

We had the appetizer trio, chicken shawarma and chicken Lula, and everything was well prepared and delicious. The service was attentive but not rushed. They have music and a belly dancer around 8:00 which is fun.

A vegetarian and a carnivore walk into a restaurant…and it’s perfect. We went early, right at opening, which meant it was quiet, a d service was attentive. Some of the best hummus we’ve ever had (order the baked pita for $5 extra. Well worth it.) I had the fattoush, which was delicious! My husband had a chicken plate of some sort. He said it was great. We will absolutely be back!

The place itself was very nice and had a great atmosphere. The food was okay, but for the quality and portion sizes, I felt it was a bit overpriced. Overall, a nice experience, but I expected a little more from the food for the price.

Seating outside between the Olive tree planters all around, and the green hedge on the perimeter give the customers a unique mediterranean vibe. The food is great, the live music is pleasant, and the workers are very nice. All the food is amazing, especially the Fattoush salad. It comes inside a crusted pita bowl with pomegrante molasses.
