This place did not disappoint! Extremely friendly and attentive service. Our server’s recommendations and descriptions were excellent.
We had the volcanoes for the app, I had the chicken shawarma plate and my husband had the ribeye. Everything was so flavorful. I recommend the garlic sauce option when ordering.

My husband, text me about this place and decided to go. Parking you have to park far away there’s hardly any parking in front of the building.
We were greeted at the door and they open it for us as well. Nice touch!! The staff were very friendly and polite a big plus!! Our waiter was very nice, he took our order and was attentive to our needs!! The food was good but it was warm not hot!! Very disappointed it being a new restaurant, everything should be on point. Otherwise everything was nice!! I see there’s a lot of team work there. When customers were finished with their meals everyone chipped in to help clear everything off the table!! Never seen such team work in a restaurant!! Good Job everyone!

I was really excited to try this place with my family since we have almost no options for food of other ethnicities except American, Mexican, and Asian around odessa. We love Mediterranean/ Indian/ Arabic style food, so we went with the intention of eating that side of the menu since it is half Mexican food and half Arabic inspired(?). My wife ordered a margarita, it was really bitter, not really any flavor. I tried ordering their espresso martini and I was told they couldn’t make it, tried ordering an Irish coffee and was told they didn’t have a coffee machine. Settled for an old fashioned, except I’m almost 100% it was just a splash of bourbon in water with an orange wedge(see photo).
Food:
Tried ordering the kibbeh and one other appetizer, waiter said they didn’t have either. So my daughter ordered the chicken shwarma wrap, she was told the sauce was on the side. It definitely was not, but she ate it anyway. My wife ordered the chicken shwarma plate, and we emphasized and pointed at the ‘plate’ not the wrap and the waiter confirmed the plate, but still brought her a wrap anyway. I ordered the beef shwarma plate with rice and baba ghanoush. Mine was ok, but the beef and rice needed some salt. All the food was only luke warm. The kids did say the fries were some of their favorite ones they’ve had.
Hopefully this was just some new restaurant kinks and they will improve. Like I said we love trying other ethnicities foods that we only get to try when we go out of town, so we were a little disappointed on how everything turned out, especially for the price we paid.

Soooooo great! Everything is fresh and such great flavors. All my food came out hot and fast. You could tell it was freshly made. My chicken shawarma had amazing flavors, my fries were hot out of the fryer, and even the pita bread with my hummus was nice and warm. I always really appreciate this attention to the details that separate the rate from the good. The staff is really nice, and all of this was at 11 PM. I’m so glad they’re open until midnight!

My first time eating middle eastern food and wow. So so good! We ate literally EVERYTHING on the plate. My waitress was so sweet and attentive with everything. I’m coming back to try everything they have on the menu!

Guys if you’re looking for something different it has finally arrived!!! The food is amazing. The service was just as great. In the pic you can see a shot glass. It’s their special mezcal. None of that nasty patron or 1972. You sip it and taste the aging and smoke. It came recommended from our server Chino. Here is a man that knows and loves what he does. I recommend it highly.

I got the sampler delivered and almost a 5/5 except there was this one sauce that tasted bad. But the food itself has a good taste.

Absolutely great food! Eating outside was nice and calming, staff was attentive and music was a good volume for conversation. Prices were low and the types of drinks they serve are incredible! Definitely going to be a regular!

The chicken and rice for both orders were medium warm temp. It would have been nice if it was hot. The flavor was good. Mediterranean food was good. Baklava, not so sweet if you are used to that. Service was not exceptional. You may need to speak Spanish or use a translator app. The bar drinks have a nice menu and the water and ice were filtered and tasting good!

Cool bar atmosphere. All the Mediterranean food was great. Best and only falafel, shawarma and stuffed grape leaves in town. . Haven’t tried the Mexican menu yet, but definitely will be back.
