    Beef Kabob (2 Skewers) and Spinach Sumbusak (Empanadas)
    Stevie P.

    Been going to this place for years now but am just now posting a review. I love this little hole in the wall place, best Mediterranean food in town imo, others are good, but this is the best. The food is always fresh and cooked to perfection, every dish is so flavorful. I always get the vegetarian combo with a small side of rice. The only thing I'd say about the dining experience is that sometimes it takes a while but you can also see them preparing the food fresh in the kitchen so I don't mind. This place always scratches my itch for Mediterranean. If you don't love it I don't know what to tell you. I could also eat their dolma in bulk.

    I would recommend everyone to eat there. It's delicious. The food is fresh and very friendly bakery are delicious

    Nothing impressive about the food but service was nice. The gyro had the same consistency as a microwaved sausage patty. Not worth $17 for the gyro plate. The pita was not fresh, and was rather dry and bland. The rice was fine. They played very loud music. Sometimes I write a review solely to inform future me not to return, which is the case here.

We each ordered the chicken kabobs (called something else on the menu). It came with 2 sides and we each ordered the tabouli and rice. I also ordered tzatziki and they served us 2 good sized pieces of freshly made pita. The chicken was marinated and grilled perfectly. I usually eat 1/2 and take home the rest. I ate every bite. We both enjoyed our choices. I'm not a big garlic sauce person, but my friend loved it and cleaned her serving cup. Our waitress gave each of us a baklava finger, for dessert. No charge. We received excellent service, from the hostess to the waitress. They also have 2 bakery counters so my friend ordered some baklava fingers to go and plans on returning to try some more goodies. Overall, we had a 2 hour catch up lunch and a really tasty meal, without being rushed. I will be back.

I particularly love their hot appetizer plate that includes the cheese rolls and kibbeh. Unfortunately their service and dining experience recently has made me question if I'll be back again. Their space is very small so a table for 6 people is really uncomfortable. On top of that, their serving dishes are massive and the service staff is unaware how to put the dishes on the table because the table is so small. There were only 2 people waiting tables which caused for a lot of frustration from the staff. They also rarely stopped by our table to clear out plates which again we needed some plates gone because tables were so small. Recommendation, more people need to work at the front and y'all need bigger tables. A $330 meal (which included $50 service charge) where the service was rough was not worth.

    Dear Owner, Your…read moreresponse to my review says considerably more about your business than my review ever could. After 19 years, apparently you've decided that the solution to customers not wanting onions is to remove them from everyone's food, leave them listed on the menu, and then insult the first customer who notices. That's certainly one way to run a restaurant. And your comment that I "lowered myself as a Middle Eastern man" because I complained about onions is honestly the most absurd part of your response. I didn't lower myself. I simply expected the food I ordered to contain the ingredients your own menu says it contains. You say that everyone has asked you to remove onions for 19 years. Fine. Then update your menu. This isn't complicated. If onions have supposedly been gone for years, why are they still being advertised as an ingredient? Customers aren't mind readers. And let's address your claim that the chicken was "very moist and delicious." How exactly would you know? You weren't there when I ordered it. You weren't there when I opened the sandwich. You weren't there when I ate it. You weren't even the person working that day. Yet somehow you have enough confidence to tell me what my own food tasted like. That is an impressive level of certainty for someone who wasn't even present. What I actually experienced was dry chicken, lettuce, no onions, a menu that apparently doesn't reflect what your restaurant serves, and an employee who argued with me rather than simply acknowledging the discrepancy. Then, instead of apologizing or explaining why your menu is inaccurate, you came into the comments and attacked the customer. That tells me everything I need to know. And as for the "Middle Eastern" aspect of your response, I find it especially disappointing. Onions aren't some obscure garnish that I'm demanding out of nowhere. They are a foundational ingredient in Middle Eastern cooking. If you've spent 19 years serving Lebanese or Middle Eastern food, you should know that. If your restaurant has evolved into a watered-down, Americanized version of Lebanese food to accommodate customers who don't like traditional ingredients, that's your choice. But own it. Don't pretend the menu says one thing while serving another, and don't insult someone for noticing. You could have simply said, "We no longer include onions, and we apologize that our menu hasn't been updated." Instead, you chose to attack my character, question my identity, and insist that food you didn't taste was delicious. That was a spectacularly poor business decision. So yes, I stand by my review. The missing onion wasn't the real problem. The problem was the dry food, the inaccurate menu, the poor customer service, and an owner who apparently thinks insulting customers is an acceptable substitute for accountability. After reading your response, I'm even more confident that I won't be returning. Nineteen years in business should have taught you how to handle a dissatisfied customer. Apparently, it didn't

Their dishes are now served on actual plates, complete with beautiful gold-colored silverware. It may seem like a small detail, but it really elevates the dining experience compared to having everything served in paper wrappers. Great decision!

This was very unusual and not professional. More concerning, my wife and I ordered a salad, and shortly after eating, both of us developed stomach pain and diarrhea within a few hours. Based on the timing and symptoms, we strongly suspect the food may have been the cause. I contacted the restaurant the next day and spoke with a staff member (name starting with "A"). She took my number and said management would call me back. No one followed up. I called again a few days later, and was told the same thing -- still no response. It has now been about a month with no communication or resolution. Very disappointed with both the food quality and the lack of customer service. I would not recommend.
