Reviews
New restaurant, so interior is fresh and clean. Has some limited outdoor seats as well. We had kabab items, tasted good and properly seasoned.
You pay at counter and buss your own table.
Restaurant location is in a easy to find, open, corner location in a strip mall with plenty of parking, great bright blue signage. The restaurant is quite small but very clean, cashier/hostess lady is beautiful, welcoming, friendly and very informative when you ask her about the menu.
Unfortunately the food tasted interestingly both heavily/overly spiced yet quite bland at the same time, sort of a mushy mess while being very fresh. We ordered the 1.Lamb Shawarma Plate, 2.Sampler Plate of Falafel, Hummus, Baba Ghanouj, Labaneh & Pickled Turnip w.Olives, 3.Armenian Sujuk without Cheese (soft fried bread filled with seasoned minced meat & vegetables served w.fries).
The Armenian Sujuk was the best dish out of the 3 and was tasty though it was heavily seasoned, didn’t mind it being so seasoned. The Sampler plate didn’t taste good at all, each sample tasted almost exactly of the same bland mushy mess. The lamb shawarma was just ok, we wouldn’t order nor recommend that dish to friends.
Some of the desserts looked and sounded interesting but due to the fact that the meals were so mediocre at best (our daughter tried her best to eat most of the healthier food option of the 3 plates so she didn’t have to eat dinner later on) we didn’t buy any dessert to bring home to try.
We really wanted to love this restaurant due to the reviews but it doesn’t compare even a little bit to Dish Dash. Do Middle Easterners really prefer this food over Dish Dash??? That’s really unbelievable.
Falafel wrap – Perfect tasting falafel with fillings! LOVED the tahini OMG! Tangy and addictive! Elevates the taste of the falafel tremendously! Good size too.
Ful/foul Jordanian style – Great taste and wonderful presentation! Can’t go wrong with the thin pita and pickles on the side with it. They have 2 other styles to try as well!
Za’atar Cheese Manakeesh – Wow! One half with copious amount of za’atar with the right salt level on soft bread! Other half with thick layer of tasty melted cheese!
Turkish coffee – Nice, strong, and flavorful.
Chocolate hazelnut Turkish delight – Is not hard, and feels fresh! Amazing taste! Will definitely try other flavors next time!
Regular finger baklava – Only item I did not enjoy. Felt too dry, and didn’t particularly like the taste.
Friendly staff, good interiors, and arabic music playing at the right volume. Ample parking in the parking lot too.
Thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and will be back to taste the other options very soon.
Overall, this is the best Mediterranean spot around in terms of taste, quality and options!
