Aspasia

My husband and I just had a wonderful meal! It was our first visit to Aspasia and we can’t wait to return so we can try other items on the menu. We ordered the meat pies (Lahem Baajin) and falafel for appetizers. Both were delicious but I have to say the falafel was the best I’ve ever tasted. My husband ordered the lamb shank and I ordered the Lamb kabobs. Everything was full of flavor and delicious including the rice and homemade sauces. The portions are large and reasonably priced. Between the beautiful presentation and quality of food it is very apparent that Ahmad and his family take pride in their family recipes and everything they serve. Well done Aspasia!

Our original caterer had to cancel at the last minute, so we took a chance on Aspasia and hired them with very little notice to cater a large (50+ person) party. We ordered a broad assortment of appetizers and main dishes, all of which were excellent. Amar bent over backwards to provide the best food and experience he could for us, and he and his wife succeeded, going beyond our expectations. They went above and beyond to make sure we had enough food for everyone, all of which was high quality and some of the best middle eastern food I've ever had. Everyone at the party was raving about how good the food was. I can't recommend Aspasia highly enough!

Wonderful food and tremendously kind staff. Went here with friends for a quick dinner, it was so good, I returned and asked the owner to help me throw a large gathering for work. Success! Everyone had fun and said the food and the presentation was amazing!

Never had a meal that I couldn't wait for the next bite. This is now officially our favorite place to eat. The food was amazing. So amazing that other middle easterners are eating there. By the way, I read the reviews about the service and let me delve into that a tad - it's a family restaurant, so he's not going to spend a lot on staff that may not always be necessary. And yes, he is flying solo but anything anyone needed he made it happen with a smile. If you need anything just ask just like any other restaurant.

I recently had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday by dining at Aspasia, and I can confidently say it's one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants I've ever visited. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality that made us feel like part of the family. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making our dining experience memorable, especially Ahmed. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with traditional decor that adds to the authentic feel of the place. The menu offers a wide range of Middle Eastern classics, and every dish we tried was a hit. The hummus was silky smooth, with just the right balance of garlic and lemon. The falafel was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with fresh herbs. The highlight of the meal was the mixed grill platter—succulent kebabs, perfectly seasoned, and grilled to perfection. Each bite was a burst of flavors, and the accompanying sides of rice, tabbouleh, and garlic sauce were the perfect complements. We also enjoyed the freshly baked pita bread, the one that isn’t even on the menu, soft, warm and straight from the oven. To top it all off, we ended our meal with a mint black tea, and traditional Iraqi dance — Chobi. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable for the quality of the food. Whether you're a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine or trying it for the first time, Aspasia is a must-visit. The combination of excellent food, welcoming atmosphere, and exceptional service makes it a standout dining experience. I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu! Ahmed is the best!
