Pretty cool spot to get some Jordanian/Palestinian food. The mixed grill was flavorful and the fish was flaky and not dry and the rice was really flavorful. Samosa was okay but not my favorite kind of samosa. Salad was fresh and refreshing and I really liked the pomegranate molasses they drizzled on top.
Inside is very well put together and you’re somewhat partitioned off from other tables which gave the illusion of privacy while also being somewhat closing to other tables. Very pretty on the inside with lots of mood lighting. Service was okay and they bring out the food pretty quick after ordering.

Absolutely loved this place! We were recommended by multiple friends. The food was incredibly flavorful and clearly made with care everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and authentic. The meats were tender, the portions generous, and the sides were just as memorable as the mains. The refreshing mint lemonade needs a special shout out!!!! The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and happy to explain dishes or make recommendations. You can really feel the pride they take in their food and hospitality. This is the kind of spot you come back to again and again—highly recommend for anyone craving comforting, delicious Middle Eastern cuisine.
Edit: I woke up missing the food I ate last night. Even the water there is good. They have crunchy ice. 10/10, do yourself a favor and go.

Shukran Jazeelan!! What a pleasant experience we had dining at this location. The food was very authentic and savory. The detailed presentation of the dishes and drinks did not go unnoticed. We will definitely return.

We got the Mixed Platter and the Beef Shawarma, and honestly? Fire. The mixed platter had a bit of everything — chicken, lamb, beef — all grilled perfectly. The meat was juicy, smoky, and seasoned just right, like someone’s uncle has been manning that grill for 20 years. The rice was buttery, the hummus was smooth and fresh, and the bread? Warm, fluffy, and made for scooping up every last bit.
The beef shawarma deserves its own shoutout. It’s not the dry, over-spiced kind you get at random spots — this one’s tender, flavorful, and loaded with that perfect tangy-garlic kick. Every bite hit different.
The staff were super chill and welcoming, the portions were huge (you’re definitely leaving with leftovers), and the place just gives that homey, family-owned energy.
If you want real Palestinian flavor ,not watered-down “Mediterranean” this is the spot.

Beautifully cooked dishes, beautiful decor, and stellar service – what’s not to love? We were a group of 7 people there for a birthday dinner and we were all amazed not only by the delicious food, but also by the amazing service. We shared an appetizer sampler and an order of kibbeh, all of which tasted amazing and signaled that our main dishes were going to be a treat! We got the large kebab platter, intended for 6 people, and we were amazed by the generous amount of food, which included hummus, babaganoush, muthawama, salad, and a variety of meats. The meats were seasoned perfectly and cooked absolutely beautifully, a truly impressive feat! Of course, we couldn’t skip the mint lemonades, a sweet and refreshing touch to our delectable meal. For dessert, we split a large, ultra crispy kenafa with a sparkler and birthday song for the birthday person – super delicious and a sweet touch! Parking was hard to come by, but it was worth every effort just to eat at this restaurant. I absolutely can’t wait to come back!

Once you step into this wonderful Middle Eastern restaurant you will fall in love with ever food item on their menu starting with hummus to Muthawama all the way to chicken Tikka and then you can not forget about the dessert leading to the finest ever We had tasted. You can not leave until you try Kenafa sprinkle with pistachios cook in a sweet light syrup sauce with a layer of cheese. I was told one order was well enough for two people. We ended up having another order of Kenafa cooked for us as we savor ever bite.

I’m going to be what I think is fair by giving 3 stars. As long time customers, my family has eaten here with 5 star experiences many times. I’ve never had a problem with any servers or staff. They’ve always been very hospitable and welcoming. The food is usually very good and without error, even with delivery orders in the past.
The past 2 times have not been so great though in terms of food. First we went for a birthday dinner and we’re pretty grossed out to discover the shrimp had not been deveined meaning we had been served and ate poop.
The second time we ordered delivery and much of our $80 order was missing or wrong. At first we thought the driver might have taken some out and reported it, but ubereats did nothing despite having photos. The restaurant also did nothing. After reading reviews of similar situations I don’t know if it was the restaurant or the driver. They responded to another review saying the hummus with the mixed grill is both hummus and baba ganouj but we received hummus that was missing a large portion from container to be able to see the bottom of it. There was no baba ganouj. The mixed grill only had a few pieces of one meat instead of the 3 it was supposed to have. We were given the wrong soup and were missing 2 sides. There’s was more bread than food to eat with the bread. Very disappointing experiences. With money being so tight right now, when we spend to eat out we want it to be a good experience.

Very fast service and the food fresh and delicious! We had the plate with mix grill and we share it and was more than enough. I ordered the chicken wrap as well but ended up taking it to go. For desert we had Kanafa and was the best I ever had!
