"Wow, this restaurant was absolutely fantastic! From the warm and inviting ambiance to the delicious and beautifully presented food, every aspect of my dining experience was top-notch. The staff was friendly, I think her name was Bahia. She was attentive, and she went above and beyond to ensure that I had an unforgettable meal. If you're looking for a restaurant that combines exceptional service with mouth-watering dishes, this is the place to be! Highly recommended!"

I have placed ordered on the website and spoke to the owner Mr. Tariq for confirmation if they received the order. I had ordered family tray of mixed BBQ and family tray of lamb Maqluba. Initially he was so nice confirming our order and upon asking their promoted online offer for free dessert he mentioned BAKLAVA or HARISSA and since I ordered family trays he would give us six pieces of desserts for family which really impressed us that he being so generous. My husband went to pick the order and found he was the only person running the restaurant. Owner let my husband choose the sides which go with the order. My husband picked the order and the special dessert and bring after 45 minutes of drive…When we opened the trays to enjoy the food it was so disappointed to see the money you spent on the food was burnt and chewy with no grilled vegetables. Literally even the rice was burnt with smell in it…the lamb Maqluba got mushy rice and you can’t see proper layers of vegetables and lamb as what MAQLUBA should be served and that complimentary dessert was fruits just banana and grapes in the tray. I was really disappointed in front of my guest coz it wasn’t at all tempting to try so I ordered pizza for kids. Just to confirm it wasn’t a foul play I called the store and spoke to owner Mr. Tarek and he didn’t take the review well and replied to me that his food was exactly how the previous management make and I shouldn’t complain about dessert coz it was free anyways and I should be thankful for fruits I got instead like the audacity to blame me for failing his own promotion and words on the phone. He was so rude that he didn’t apologize to make it right next in fact asking me that if I wanted percentage off on my order and started asking me to give him exact number like 10%, 20%, 30% off the reason I called where I stopped him right away to not shame us like we are beggar and want free food but take accountability to ruining our order and show us some empathy who spent over $190 dollars for food which people didn’t enjoy eating. I asked him that if you had a bad day please calm down and then call me when you feel right to talk. NO follow up after that!…EXOTIC fruits of large tray is a joke he is making to prove himself right…I didn’t ask for fruits just the online promotion of dessert HE mentioned to give me for family since I ordered the large tray??? Pictures with the post speaks thousand truth about food…enough prove for the Owner’s continues lies about his incompetency to make things right for customers…I can see the owner doesn’t take negative review well and blame customers for choosing this restaurant which previous owner established with their best customer service and tasty food. BEWARE don’t give your business to restaurant have no respect for their customers!

Disappointing and Disgusting 🤮 I have been to many Mediterranean restaurants, but this one is worse than the worst. One star is too much for the experience we had tonight! This place used to be a good place, but something has happened. We paid $100 for a Mixed Kabab for eight, shown on the menu; what we got was nothing like the picture! Waste of money!
