Food is very good with decent price. Service is excellent. Atmosphere is nice; it will be great if you like hookah. All food is specialized seasoned with Mediterranean style. Even it is different ways of cook from Asian style (I am Chinese), I still enjoy the food very much. 5 star for this one n I will bring my friends to there.

I recently visited this Middle Eastern restaurant, and it was an impressive experience on multiple fronts. The service was warm and welcoming, with staff who were attentive and eager to explain the menu. They offered helpful recommendations that made the meal more enjoyable. The food was genuinely flavorful and authentic, with each dish showcasing the richness of Middle Eastern spices and fresh ingredients. From the creamy hummus to the tender kebabs, every bite was delicious and well-prepared. The balance of spices was perfect, bringing out the traditional taste without overwhelming the palate. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, with beautiful decor that captured the essence of Middle Eastern culture. The lighting and seating made it comfortable for dining, adding to the overall relaxing experience. It felt like a small getaway to the Middle East. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to enjoy authentic Middle Eastern flavors in a welcoming environment. By the way Lola is so beautiful and sweet and kind ! By the way Lola is super gorgeous!

I'm a big fan of this place. The coal jockey is constantly refreshing coals, the service is all around good, and they keep the drinks coming. Shout out to the server and coal guy we had last time. The coal guy was a guy with long hair and a beard and the server was a really chill young guy, possibly Asian, who chatted with us about the dessert... can't remember the name of it, but it's a milk-based dish with bananas and rose water oil. The spot also has great ventilation with windows all the way around it which were almost all open. Last but not least: the food is insanely good. I love the chicken kebab and the steak kebab.

I had an amazing time and experience at this absolutely lovely place. The place is clean and there is plenty of parking. The service is spot on and they have some amazing advice and suggestion on dishes. The hummus stold the show! It was one of the best I have had I'm California. I really enjoyed my time here. Will be going back!

We ordered our food to go but the dinning area looked really cool. We definitely want to come back looks like a nice place to have a drink and smoke some hookah while eating some good food.

I absolutely love the food here, and it was even better thanks to the exceptional service. The waitresses treated us like family, making us feel welcome and at ease. If you’re a shisha enthusiast, this place is a must-visit. I don’t smoke, so I couldn’t comment on the shisha experience, but the food was simply delicious. I highly recommend it!

Generous portions of food. Smash the tomatoes in the rice for a phenomenal flavor medley! Hookah is always good with coals coming around periodically. Avoid Tangiers if ur new to smoking, it kicks like a mule even for a seasoned hookah smoker

I love the food and they are very friendly, I will say you must be able to handle the smoke from the hooka pipes. It smells pleasant but it bothers some people. It is very strong on Friday and Saturday nights. The food is worth it. There are weekday chicken kabob specials. Good deal. Very healthy salads. Nice decorations / lighting.

Placed a big order over the weekend. Service was perfected. My order was correct & I didn't have to repeat myself multiple times. Staff was very friendly. Also, my order was ready by the time I got there to pick it up. My girls & their teammate didn't leave a rice grain nor skewer in the pan 😁They loved every bite. Highly recommendable establishment.

the food was delicious we got the chicken shawarma plate and it was all delicious and so much food we couldn't even finish half of our plates. will definitely be going back as regulars, the service could have been better it was pretty busy for a Friday night and hookahs everywhere not much walking space to get around especially for the disabled like my husband. which is why I only gave it 4 stars.

This restaurant was highly recommend to me by my brother recently. So this was our first time ordering here and the food was phenomenal. We ordered takeout because I was not in the mood to cook and we wanted to treat ourselves. We are all vegan and it is normally a headache the first time but I prepared ahead of time, and ordered 3 falafel plates. Each comes with enough food and the price is warranted. It is 5 crispy falafels with tahini, yummy salad, ridiculously delicious pilaf rice, pita bread, and choice of 2 sides. We all did grilled vegetables (tomato & pepper/chili), 2- hummus and 1- baba ganoush. The best way I can describe the food is "home cooking", it does not have that impersonal taste that most restaurants have even if their food is delicious. All the staff was courteous and gracious, in particular Rosie chatted with me and gave me some recommendations for future orders. The ordering process was seamless, the wait was minimal, and the food came out piping hot; really a great culinary experience. I highly recommend this establishment. Let us support local small businesses, especially in these times of the COVID pandemic.

Ambiance is beautiful, I wasn't expecting it to have such a wonderful vibe inside and the food was delicious and service super attentive and polite. This is a rare gem. Restaurant is also very clean and inviting.

The food was edible, I had the kabob plate, it was overpriced and certainly nothing special. The servers were attentive and hard-working. Everybody except for me was smoking some substance out of of hot coal thing at every table. The smoke was all around me, not noxious, per se, but certainly irritating to me. I understand it is some middle eastern thing they do. This place is definitely not for me.
