GOOD Based on 420 reviews Posted on Paola HerbasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was our first time here (my husband and I) and we absolutely loved this small restaurant. The food was perfectly cooked. I love the service too they gave us a complimentary appetizer of their house made bread and 2 spread which were both outstanding. I had the chicken schwarma bowl and my husband had their lamb chops. Best lamb chops I’ve had in a while. Perfectly cooked and the taste was amazing (not gamey)!Posted on billel djehicheTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best food in Town ❤️❤️Posted on Laura BeilerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Food was amazing. The chef/owner was very friendly, and gave us free hummus, baba ganoush, and homemade bread. He also offered us free dessert and coffee. He convinced my daughter that his wings were better than the plain ones she insisted on ordering! My FIL left his sunglasses in the restaurant and the owner came out to the parking lot to find us. We felt so welcomed and loved the food. We are not local but definitely will be back if we are ever in the neighborhood!Posted on Sam BeilerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Dropped in by chance. I was in the area with my son ,after dropping him off,I decided to grab a bite to eat. Google maps led he here. I ordered the vegetarian platter and it was great. Friendly staff. May not make it in again because I live in Bowie. Still it was a good experience.Posted on Jasdeep KalekaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
