We were a group of 9, including a baby. We sat on the second floor which gave us a lot of privacy and quiet. The food was delicious and ample. We had two mezzo platter and two grill platters and there was more than enough food. Everything tasted great. The kibbeh was excellent. The chef got the stuffed cabbage and squash just right. Not an easy feat. The grilled meats were juicy and tender, especially the lamb. Our servers, Daniel and Olga were attentive and very reliable. The price was just right. We will be returning here often.

The food was delicious and everyone was so generous! I got two appetizers and I got very full and we even received free dessert in the end! Delicious, I highly recommend! And the garlic sauce is top tier

Very good food, vibe, and staff. My friend and I shared some amazing lamb kebab and beitenjan. The eggplant in the beitenjan was a bit softer than I prefer, and the dish was very sweet. Even still, it was delicious! The lamb was amazing, too. The limonana was perfect. We dined on the deck upstairs under some charming string lights which created a very cute and intimate atmosphere. The staff was so friendly, too! I look forward to coming back to try more dishes.

Got the chicken shawarma platter, which was really good. Enjoyed the sauces with it, and the pita!! Also got the lamb kebab sandwich but it was very chewy :( However, the Arnold palmer was sooo goood❤️Would go here again but wish the staff were more attentive.

Incredible food & lovely people!❤️🖤🤍💚I met some friends here for lunch a few months ago & we had a wonderful time. Our server was so friendly & helpful with great suggestions & answering all of our menu questions. We ordered many different dishes & shared everything which is a good way to go so you can try as many items as possible. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was lovely & it was so nice to support a Palestinian restaurant at the same time! Highly recommend!
