Reviews
I tried this Jordanian–Iraqi restaurant today, and wow… absolutely outstanding. The lady working there is incredibly kind and treats you with genuine hospitality. I ordered green bean stew and okra stew, and the flavors instantly took me back home — it tasted exactly like something my mother would make.
The food is clean, the portions are generous, and the prices are very competitive. Everything felt authentic, warm, and made with love.
If you’re looking for real Middle Eastern comfort food, this place is a must-try. Highly, highly recommended!
Nice attention to detail in preparation: for instance, even the “white rice” served with entrees isn’t just plain rice, but delicately seasoned with cloves and possibly something like nutmeg (?), giving it a nice and fairly “unique” (vs. other cuisine styles) taste and flavor. The complementary “hot black tea” isn’t just plain tea, but also flavored with spices – and served in beautiful little tea glasses toward the end of the meal, almost like a digestif. Every dish we tried, tasted great and left at least an impression of some kind of authenticity; so for our party who weren’t familiar with Yemeni-style quisine going in, this was also a nice (and enjoyable) learning experience. Food presentation generally isn’t particularly fancy, but above-average I’d say.
Atmosphere-wise, the place has artful Arabic-themed (but fictional), expansive landscape painting “decals” spanning the full width of the walls, and floor-to-ceiling. This gives the room an interesting vibe, and almost makes it feel larger on the inside than it really is (it also makes staring at the walls quite a bit more enjoyable than usual… ). Tables and chairs and floor/ceiling are fairly basic, as are the menu format and eating utensils. Ambient sound is unobtrusive and not unwelcome.
Service is friendly and welcoming, though again as other reviewers had mentioned, the person taking orders isn’t always at the counter (keeping busy in the kitchen, presumably) – and in that case needs to either be actively called on or waited for, and food orders must be made at the counter as well – as there is no dedicated person to go around taking orders at the tables, or regularly checking up on how the patrons are doing or if they’d like to order anything else (such as dessert…)
Note: if I didnt see the lamb shank on the menu I would have never ended up trying the place 🙂
Saw on maps as a new spot and have struggled to find a spot close by I really like, but this is it. Chicken Shawarma wrap was of the highest grade you could hope for, made fresh with generous amount of nicely seasoned chicken and came with fries. Hot sauce at table. Price of $14 very fair for amount and goodness of the product. Nice seating inside, brought water without me asking. Not super quick but I will take that over speed and having stuff prepared in advance and sitting in a heated bin. Def will return to try a plate for dinner sometime.
