Tolga

Appetizers (hummus ,babaganoush etc) and salad were quiet good. Ayran (yogurt drink) is really good for USA.Kebap was ok but they should use more fat in meat.Friendly owner and reasonable price! 7,9/10

Hannah Corriveau

Their falafels are fantastic, as is their zataar with cheese . And their hummus . Also, they just expanded so there is plenty of room to sit large or small parties. The owners are sweethearts!

Bruce Duncan

This restaurant is an amazing gem in the college area. Every time we come here, we try a different appetizer and we have loved every one. The best dish on the menu is the Shish Borak, hands down.

Assaf Al-Awaji

Chicken shaworma and lahma bel'ajeen are really tasty and don't miss ayash alsaraya because it's really magnificent dessert
