A neighborhood favorite for Middle Eastern cuisine. The restaurant has plenty of seating with indoor and outdoor dining... available, but that doesn?t mean you won?t have to wait to be seated. I would advise to come early on the weekends to beat therush but if you find yourself waiting to be seated, at least the food will be worth it. The hummus, lamb segar, any of thekabob meals, and manquoosh flatbread are all amazing. I almost always go with the lamb segar or the chicken kabob meal. Theportions will definitely satisfy your appetite (add the harissa sauce for a kick). The only downside to this spot is the lackof staff and ownership when they are at fault. Despite the amount of popularity this place has gotten over the months, theamount of time for the cooks to turn out food is disappointing. I?ve waited over 30-45 minutes for my order on more than ahandful of occasions. My order has even gotten ?lost? when I dined-in once. With having never been checked on by my originalwaiter or even seeing him since placing my order, I asked another wait staff about it. The waitress apologized for him andplaced my order again?and there goes an additional 30 minutes of waiting? Majority of the times this place is a solid, but I?dgo elsewhere if you?re on any time constraints. Read more

I?ve been here TOO many times and each time the service and the food have been amazing! Have never been let down by this... restaurant, the food is ALWAYS fresh! I have had issue ordering over the phone before but that was just miscommunication. So ifanyone has a bad experience with them while ordering online, I would definitely recommend going inside and eating. Love how it?sso close to prospect park, taking your food there and have a picnic would be so perfect. Only negative thing is, they?ve changedtheir rice so it doesn?t taste the same anymore. I hope they go back to their original rice it was so unmatched! Read more

Shwarma meal was phenomenal. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, not dry, not mushy. Rice was also super fluffy and delicious!... Super underrated spot! Super well priced with generous portions too! Read more

Saw this restaurant while visiting the area and decided to try it out. I had the ?Eggs Benzatar? from the brunch menu; two... poached eggs with smoked salmon, on top of fresh pita bread, served with potato hash and a salad. The food was very good, youcould tell the ingredients were fresh and everything was made in house. If you sit by the window, you also get a good view ofoutside. Read more

Flawless. Fresh ingredients used to perfection. A menu that is at the same time traditional and creative. The kebabs and lamb... chops are perfect, as are the vegetarian options - wonderful falafel. Friendly staff, attentive and efficient. Recommended! Read more

My wife and I were impressed with the quality of the food, atmosphere, and prices here! As you can see we got the French toast,... Shawarma, and Eggs Benzatar. Would definitely like to go again to try other items on their menu. Read more

Love this place. Food was delicious for all our dishes. The Zatar fries was freshly made and it was so crispy and absolutely... delicious (you have to wait for the best). The chicken kebab was moist and flavorful. The salmon kebab and white rice wascooked just right. Lamb chop was moist and delicious. My friend can't stop talking about it as she takes every bite. Falafel wascrispy and pairs nicely with sauce. Strawberry lemonade is my go to. Prices was reasonable. Service was good. I usually callahead to check if they have tables available before going.
