I recently went here with a friend and had an extremely mixed experience. The restaurant's ambiance is as bare-bones as you can get-a hole-in-the-wall located in a strip mall, with no decorations other than mirrors on the wall. To get attention for service, we had to ring a bell at the front desk three times and we had to ask multiple times about our soup. However, our other two dishes came out extremely quickly and the restaurant made it up to us by giving us an extra soup, which I appreciated.
My friend and I shared the samsas, pilav, and the laghman soup. The samsas were extremely disappointing-the meat was tough and needed more flavor. The pilav was the best dish we had-the rice was cooked perfectly and seasoned well, although the meat could have used more flavor and there could have been a better rice-to-meat ratio (the pilav was about 90 percent rice). The laghman soup was OK, although nothing special-the noodles did not look hand-pulled or made as is traditional with this soup.
The medley of foods on the menu was interesting, especially for a kosher restaurant, but ultimately fell short. read more
