2 months agoIncredible experience. Service is very friendly. The food is fresh and absolutely delicious. The special was hummus with roasted cauliflower and fried halloumi, both of which exceeded expectations. The bread is also great. Overall highly recommended, and a great addition to the neighborhood.

3 months agoAmazing Arabic food! One of the best Dolmeh dishes I have ever had and I had plenty! Kufta was exceptionally delicious! Everything we ordered was perfect. The tiramisu was my favorite dessert. Plus the service was great. It made us wish we lived in New Orleans to eat there more often!

5 months agoThe place was nicely decorated. It was slow when we went in, but it was after 2:00 p.m. So late lunch. William greeted us and sat us right down. Once we ordered, the food came out quickly. I've never had Saj before. That's the bread. It was fantastic. We dipped the Saj into the roasted red pepper stuff. It had just the right amount of k kick. We also got a grilled vegetable plate and a chicken kabob plate. They both came with rice, hummus, and a salad. We shared everything and couldn't finish it. We had one more piece of saj, so I put everything into the saj and made a wrap, which was just as delicious the next day. Definitely WILL go back. The only thing I didn't like was that they charge more for credit card, but didn't have any cash on hand to make change..... not good business practice. js

10 months agoThe food is INSANELY good. We had the lamb chops and the Middle eastern paella, best cooked lamb I have had in a while, crispy and charred on the outside and perfectly soft and seasoned on the inside. The paella with the saffron rice was so flavorful. I don't know what spice combinations were included but it was very balanced. The rice that was added to our order came out a little slow but besides that our orders came out quite quickly and staff was attentive. Be aware,the menu options are limited but probably a sign that every dish is made with care and attention. Will be coming back.

8 months agoHereโs the thing. Nothing bad about this place. At all. The dishes are well presented. The flavors are great! But the portionsโฆit looks like a lot but itโs hard to fill up on Greek food (though itโs harder if you canโt eat flour/tortillas like me.) Both me and my family member wished they gave us more. The chicken kebab is essentially two lines of chicken that was on a kebab but is now on a plate. Dang that chicken tastes good. As far as Greek flavor goes, that was the best tasting Greek food Iโve had yet in the city. Vegetables were also all very fresh. In terms of the price, it can add up quick since the service is very effortless. When asking for something it doesnโt require any effort. They are open and receptive. Which means, if you need something, they wonโt hesitate. Great service.
