Authentic. Delicious. Savory. Best chicken shawarma and garlic sauce, middle eastern BBQ, hummus, and fatoosh in the state! And lastly, don’t forget to try the home made, extra crunchy chicken tenders 🤤🤤 …

Delicious food and friendly staff. Good vegetarian and meat options alike. We ordered more we usually do while dining out because everything looked so good. And we were not disappointed. This was our first time eating here, but we will definitely be back.

Albina was great!!! She was SO nice. She recommended food options… and the chicken wings were fried to perfection. The Pineapple hookah was so good and pretty too. Will definitely come back to try more food and hookah.

Been coming here since they opened and I was nerve disappointed with anything. Food is amazing, drinks are perfect, and the hookah just hits different and they just added Arabic sweets and it’s very delicious. Love it here I recommend this place to everyone.
