Description
This family-owned eatery serves up comforting plates that make visitors feel like they are dining at a relative's home. The standout order is the five-appetizer platter, which pairs hummus, labna, and babaganoush with mains like Lahmbajin pizza. However, the kitchen gets mixed reviews on specific dishes; guests warn of dry basbousa, salads with bottled lemon dressing, and burnt, gritty Turkish coffee. The dining area extends outdoors to feature an outdoor Bedouin tent.
