★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1We stopped here for a quick Sunday brunch. Food was great, tasty, and spot on. Cost for 2 meals were relatively expensive but doable. I would recommend getting here at a decent time because the space is very limited and lacks private seating.Restaurant did not offer a baby chair, but lucky our young child wasn't hungry. Staff was friendly and the food served to us came out pretty fast. For 2 people, prepare to pay about $40.00. Overall, we enjoyed our time, food was delicious.
August 17 · ML SMITHFood & service was great and cashier Kennedy was friendly ! I had lamb sandwich on 🥙 pita bread with potato chips ( very oily) .I enjoyed my dinner and would recommend to try their food !
September 18 · Aika OrmanbetovaThis is such a great little spot. There is community style seating and it isn’t super spacious so I wouldn’t recommend for large groups. But the menu has many wonderful options both vegetarian and non, and the prices and portions make sense. Staff is friendly and the taste is so authentic and delicious
April 27 · DanielleDelicious "slow food fast" spot. The pulled pork with yellow rice is incredibly stuffy, tender and flavorful. Feels clean and healthy too. Staff was friendly and nice. Good value. Solid spot all around
April 15 · Juan GutierrezCame in for the shakshuka since other places were too busy. Their attempt at shakshuka is a more accurate description. Instead of eggs cooked in matbiucha (=traditional tomato stew) I received friend eggs served on a bed of tomato pizza/ pasta sauce. That is not a shakshuka. Chat gpt could have told them that.
