Reviews
The food was delicious. I always recommend starting with the eggplant Napolitano appetizer and the mini shawarmas. The Figtini cocktail and the Harissa dessert were amazing The place feels very warm and cozy, with soft Arabic music playing in the background. The service from everyone was exceptional. I 100% recommend it

Unfortunately the food was generally bland and overly acidic (others have also mentioned this). It was hard to enjoy as a result. Though the kibbie was the best I’ve ever had and the lamb chops were good but ultimately a very small amount of meat (1/3 of them was extra tiny and there was a decent amount of fat for that cut) for more than $40. I would’ve preferred a cheaper cut and more of it.
The waiter raved about the hummus and babba, but they were honestly mediocre and a bit sour. The Brussels sprouts could have been good if not for the excessive amount of acid. The eggplant and lamb lasagna was pretty bland. The eggplant seemed boiled though it looked a bit browned. The falafel were bland. The rice/noodle mixture was okay but I’ve had better. The potatoes were just okay though unseasoned. The tea seemed to be watered down.
The service was generally good, but there were some mishaps.
I was not told that I had to order dessert with the kitchen closing, so I did not get to try the kanafe that I was looking forward to trying.
I took the leftovers home to my husband and he agreed with my assessments (before I said anything). He had even more trouble with the high level of acid. I’ve been to Ayat/Albadawi (same owners/similar menu) several times and that was drastically better. There are people who like acidic food, so this could work for them. I might get the kibbie again, but that’s about it.
The food was shockingly poor. My husband ordered the lamb shank, which was completely tasteless and lacked even basic seasoning. I ordered the fetti with lamb, which was described as one of the most popular dishes, and it was drowning in yogurt sauce, lazily executed, and utterly devoid of flavor. It was genuinely unpleasant to eat. The date rolls we ordered for dessert were equally bad.
We didn’t come close to finishing our dishes despite how expensive they were, which says everything about the execution.
I’m generously giving two stars for two reasons only: our waiter was kind, and the cocktails were good (the pistachio martini and fig cocktail). Beyond that, I truly don’t understand why this place is so highly rated, and I won’t be returning. I don’t recommend anyone come here and waste their money on bad food.
To the chef and management: something is seriously off here. At these prices, the food should at least be well-seasoned and thoughtfully prepared. Charging this much for dishes that simply don’t taste good is unacceptable.
Don’t make my mistake and order a bunch of appetizers. The entree portions are very generous!
