Description

This hybrid grocery and informal dining spot pairs its menu with a patient staff willing to guide newcomers through the options. Beyond standard halal lamb over rice and gyros, the kitchen prepares Sri Lankan specialties like seafood kottu. The counter also features a rotating selection of baked goods, including spiced chicken pastries with exceptionally flaky crusts. The business is run by a new chef-owner known for serving generous portions with a humble, professional attitude.
