Description

Behind the traditional visual style, the menu focuses on classic plates and grilled dishes. Patrons highlight the expertly cooked mixed grill and a thin-crust garlic bread heavy on heat and fresh garlic. The selection of traditional Middle Eastern appetizers features crispy, seasoned kebeh alongside eggplant and cabbage dishes. While the dining room offers wine and a welcoming atmosphere run by an efficient, lighthearted staff, some customers note that ordering out can come with delivery delays.
