2 weeks agoEman was the best waitress I've encountered in a while! She deserves a raise! We went there for our anniversary, and she treated us like family. Now let's talk about the food - THE PAELLA. The paella was incredible! The sauce and seafood combination was just the right amount of spicy, and it was enough for at least 3 people. Even though we needed someone to stack us on a dolly and roll us out to the car from being so full, we still tried two desserts! Oh man, never skip those! The Nutella crepes were to die for! They also have hookah with nicotine free shisha, so we enjoyed a little of that also. Don't think about it, just go! We'll be back very soon... maybe tonight.

6 months agoNever disappointed with the food! New outdoor terrace. Attended a private event in the special room. Paella was phenomenal but also roasted lamb and the eggplant side dish. Will definitely be back. Valet available but parking is also open.

2 weeks agoGreat Hummus, baba ghanosh, and grape leaves. Good lemon and meat and rice flavor and we'll stuffed. Would skip the chicken Shawarma and ipt for chicken kabobs or other items. Good kibbee too!

2 months agoLow quality of service very slow waitress, after 25 minutes wait waitress came, anyway, we ordered two plates food with side food, bread, and tea, After 45 minutes, they brought one plate of food, which was wrong and very cold, as it was look like leftover food. I told the waitress that we had ordered two plates foods with fries and salad, but he brought rice. He said they didn't have fries at the moment, hahaha. I asked where is the sauce and bread? and he said he'd well bring it, so after 15 minutes wait he brought the tea, and we were still waiting for the sauce and bread. He left again, for 15 minutes, and finally, we decided to cancel the rest of food order. We said we would talk to the manager. After 40 minutes, the manager came. We told him all the stories, The manager said that they were very busy and couldn't attend or keep up, what kind of excuse is this Mr. Manager? so if you can't handle it, why do you take on clients, or customers sir? the food they had brought earlier got completely cold. When we told everything to manager, he said he would replace it the food for us. Ten minutes later, the waiter brought the same food which was completely burned nasty face ahahahh oh no. I donโt where to complain
