The food here was delicious! The location was a bit of a dive, but the quality of the food more than made up for it. We had the lamb and the chicken kabob, and both had a lot of flavor. The seating was a bit tight...Read More

I have never been to a restaurant quite like this! Once arriving you wait in line, place your order, and receive a number for your meal. We receive our food quickly and usually eat at the restaurant (which is a total dive) as the bread...Read More

Ordered ahead, food was ready when I got there. Got the lamb and the combo. Rice and chickpeas with spinach was very flavorful. Got this at 1am because our flight got canceled and it happened to be across the street from the hotel.

Authentic and just the right spice. I had to try this place. Don't expect waiters and white linen tablecloths. Booths, eclectic bumper stickers, and smokey incense. I rated it 5 stars for the atmosphere and service because they nailed what they...Read More
