So, we went here after a long day so we were famished and quite looking forward to our meal. Now…read morethe appetizers were AMAZING, especially the kibbeh. It was steaming hot and freshly made. The falafel were good and authentic. We ordered a few appetizers and a few entrees. The general consensus at the table was that the food was decent. Personally, I ordered mjaddara (for those who don't know what that is, it's a vegetarian dish with rice, lentils, and onions). I have never tried it before but it's not my favorite. Now overall, the place is plain, but do not let that fool you. The food is really good. We were catered to that day by the owner and she was nice and hel

Everything was incredible. The chicken was juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The rice paired so well with it--every bite hit. The sambusa was just as good--crispy on the outside with a flavorful, well-seasoned filling inside. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food here. Definitely coming back for more.

I found the beehive pastries disappointing and not what I've come to expect from places like this I'd skip it. Prices were OK but added up quickly! I would stop by again for a treat but probably skip dinner. There's a parking lot across the street available for use.

Although we we the first people there at 1pm for dine-in, there was a steady stream of take-out orders getting picked up, as well as other (mostly men) coming to dine. The chairs are wide and overstuffed, and the tables are just the right height. It's a, "have another bite" atmosphere. There are long prayers coming from the speakers. Even a non-Arabic speaker like me knows that, "Bismillah" doesn't rhyme! The better half's take on his kebab? "This is the best lamb I've ever had!". I thought the shwarma and fries were great, but the hummus served with warm pita, some fruity, green olive oil, and a sprinkling of sumac/ za'atar really knocked it out of the park. I was dipping my fries in it! We ended the meal with a long slice of pistachio backlava. Oh, so good!

I was originally going to go to Amira's kitchen, but for some reason it was closed, so I did see…read moregood reviews on this place. I was sadly mistaken because the food was not at all to the level that it should have been at. I ordered the baba ganoush. which was fine, but seemed like it had been sitting out for a while. I also ordered the chicken tawook plate. First of all, I must say that this is not chicken breast, but it seemed like there were dark pieces as well as fat still on the chicken, which made for a worse taste. I made sure to ask before, but I don't know where the miscommunication happened. The chicken lacked flavor, but more importantly, it was not fully cooked and was squishy. I was able to take a photo because I was in a rush and the only parts of the chicken that I was able to eat were when I had to cut a piece off of cooked meat. I wish them nothing but the best, but the quality of food needs to get better for this to be edible because uncooked meat is very unsafe. That was very disappointed with my food and I wish I could've stayed back to speak to the owner, but he had left at the time. I have nothing more to say Also, this was not a cheap meal, so this makes for a worse experience, I hope the owner reaches out

The…read morematcha was a little disappointing as I was sipping chunks of matcha powder (and couldn't taste a cheesecake flavor either). The barista was very nice, but this place is beyond understaffed. There were two parties ahead of us when we walked in (4 drinks total but one person also has to warm and prepare all the food too) but we ended up waiting for a good 15-20 minutes before our order was even taken. With so much time, also did notice flies in their pastry display, so decided to stick with just a drink.

They also didn't have any Bee bites available so that was definitely sad news this morning because that was the main reason for my stop. I do prefer Socotra but this place wasn't bad by any means. They did have a lot of other good and pastries that look amazing but my heart is always set on the new bites! The service was good. It was early and I was the only person in the cafe. The tea was made quickly and felt good to hold in my hands especially with the cold weather.

While I was waiting I went over to the market to browse and saw some pretty unique Turkish items such as food, bread,candy household items,oils, pita. They also have meat store in the market. Anyway my meal was very delicious and was freshly made. I did wait awhile but I can't complain, the staff was very friendly and while I was browsing they took the time to translate for me, since I didn't understand the language written on most of the items. Plus I enjoyed watching the Turkish music videos, quite catchy. Lets just say I ended up leaving with way more items other than my lunch. I'll be back!

I know Almaza is known for their rotisserie chicken, but I chose to try their other dishes on this trip. Some may feel the prices are on the higher side, but honestly the prices are quite fair. Reason being is, there was enough food to feed two people. You can dine in or just order takeout, either choice you're going to have some good food. Kibbie- I liked these handheld Lebanese beef croquettes. The seasoning was good and it does come with some sauces, but I didn't need them. I was fine with how well the croquettes tasted alone Pastelillos- I loved these meat pies..I could eat these all day Mediterranean lamb plate- The bed of rice that comes with the dish, is totally different tasting that I have ever had. Manly because of the shaved almonds, and cinnamon. But by no means, do I have any complaints. The lamb pieces with this entree was a good compliment.

It's middle eastern food, and I've only had the beef one, and only when someone brought it to eat. So good. I pass by this place occasionally and recently planned to stop in but it was a day they are closed. It's not a bakery like you may think, with cupcakes and cookies. At least not what I've seen. It's middle eastern food, think shawarma type. But I've only had that beef thing and that's what I'll go back for today. I was surprised this isn't in yelp, I think it's been open for a while.

They were absolutely amazing!! Then we ordered food to go for later. We went with the chicken in the grass, the bourbon steak sandwhich and the buttermilk fried chicken. Everything was good.
