Description

Meals center on house-made pita served fresh alongside dishes defined by their rich seasoning and generous portions. The kitchen turns out plates like tender beef shawarma, baba gannoush, and notably crispy falafel. For mid-day visits, lunch specials offer a main dish paired with two sides, such as lentil soup and hummus. Throughout the meal, the friendly and attentive staff helps explain the traditional dishes, adding a welcoming touch to the lively table.
