Description

The setup pairs an indoor space with a patio cooled by large fans. Dining here has a familial feel, marked by mismatched utensils and varying cup sizes. Alongside platters served with hummus, grilled vegetables, and pita, the kitchen serves highly rated lamb sliders. While the service is attentive with quick hookah coal refills, feedback on the tobacco strength is mixed, and the soundtrack leans toward explicit American tracks.
