It looked like a mini event space! Our party of two visited for the first time on a week night, and so it was pretty quiet. Just a few other tables around. We were greeted warmly and seated at a large table for four. They were well-staffed this evening. Someone was cleaning the windows and dusting the decorations -- which was odd for operating hours, but not unexpected for a small business. The food was beautiful! Displayed dramatically with flair and fun. The flavours were great. The mixed grilled platter (for 2) was unlike any other restaurant I've tried -- each meat had it's own unique seasoning and flavour. It is a little smaller than other restaurant's grilled platter. We had to have other appetizers to be full. But we were pleased and would definitely return to try more from their menu!

Let me start with the ambiance - which for me is quite unique and makes me like the place even…read morebefore I've tasted anything Julia, who looked after us was great too We started with the Rayhoon Trio sampler - beautifully presented and equally delicious. I recommended upgrading to the Barbari bread We also started with the Shiraz salad - this was the only thing we ordered today that was ordinary The Koobideh Kebob and the Dahl Addas were delightful Please note that that we had loads of rice because both the Kebob and the Addas came with sumptuous quantities Overall a very nice experience It's been a few years since I came here last and I'm sure my next trip will not take as long

I went to Burlington for a week for leisure. We were walking around and looking for a restaurant…read morefor dinner. We passed by this cute restaurant. The outside of the restaurant was quaint. We peeked inside. It was busy and with quite a few Persians. We decided to try it. I am so glad that we tried it. Everything that we ordered was outstanding. We got the Rayhoon trio sampler, Addas Palo, and lamb shank. The trio sampler was basically 3 different dippings and came with a basket of bread. The owner was very nice. While we were enjoying the food, he walked up and greeted. He explained how we could use the trio sampler to enjoy the entrees which really made it even better. Following the suggestion, I put a little bit of lamb sauce over the rice and put a little bit of yogurt sauce over a small piece of lamb, then ate them all in one spoon.... It was amazing!

I had come here on a Friday afternoon at around 12:45 pm for lunch. I was told by a co-worker that…read morethis restaurant was delicious therefore, I had to give it a try. When I first walked-in, I was kindly greeted by the workers behind the till; they were friendly and welcoming as we chose the item that we wanted to eat. The restaurant itself was small however, it was perfect for a quick bite; the décor was simple yet stylish. There were other individuals at the restaurant as well, which made the setting feel cozy. I had settled on the twisted shawarma without the parsley and onions; I was told by the staff that this was going to be a delicious shawarma so, I was looking forward to it. I waited at the table, and within ten minutes, I was brought the shawarma directly to the table; such excellent customer service! I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the shawarma was; the pita was nicely toasted, and the ingredients inside of the shawarma were the perfect combination of meat, vegetables, and garlic sauce. Overall, this restaurant definitely has my vote for top food, excellent service, and a humble environment. I felt welcomed during my entire stay, and truly enjoyed the food, as it was one bite of deliciousness after another. This restaurant knows how to prepare authentic food, along with displaying kind gestures to all customers, while making a customer feel loved from entry to exit. Will definitely come back again, and will recommend to others!

I paid $14 after tax for a beef and cheese manakish with a side of garlic sauce, and inhaled it in less than 3 minutes, lmfao. It was so good. You can get it without cheese and it's very similar to Turkish Lahmachun. Get the garlic sauce! It's delicious and a great compliment to the bread. Everything for the most part is made fresh right in front of you and they use quality ingredients. Service was quick; I had a little difficulty ordering because the guy at the front doesn't speak english very well but that doesn't affect the rating. Interior is really cute, I love the colors and decorations. They have public bathrooms here. I'd like to say I'll be back, but because of the price it'll probably be an occasional treat for me.

But I wasn't asked what veggies or sauce I wanted in it but what was given to me was good. I wish there were some sauces available on the table for me to use as other shawarma places do but I also understand they were closing up. The wrap used is thin so a bit messy to eat if taken out of the wrapper. Overall it was a good late night meal.

I've had hookah all over the world, and this one wins. Hands down the best hookah I've ever had. Now... let's talk about the service. Not because the staff aren't trying they're basically training for a marathon . I have never seen people run this much in my life. They're carrying food, drinks, hookah, clearing tables... they're doing EVERYTHING. Whoever makes the schedule clearly believes five people can do the work of fifteen. Usually, I've had to wait quite a while for the food, but somehow last night the kitchen worked magic and our food came out pretty fast. The hookah? As always, it arrived almost instantly. The drinks, though... that's a completely different story. I honestly think they were waiting for the mangoes and strawberries to be picked from the nearest farm before making them. Then probably washing them, peeling them, thanking them for their service, and blending them. Yes, I'm being sarcastic... but wow, they took FOREVER to arrive. Then came my favorite moment of the night. I ordered a salad and asked if they could leave out the kale because I can't eat it. A busboy with a ponytail and glasses came over and very seriously said, "We can't just pick the kale out." I smiled and said, "No worries, I'll order a different salad." He looked at me and repeated, "We can't remove the kale." I said, "I know... that's why I'm ordering a different salad." He said it AGAIN. At that point I looked at him and said, "Hey... I'm not asking you to pick the kale from the salad. I just want a different one." The poor guy seemed totally confused I wasn't sure if he thought I was still negotiating with the kale or something else, but eventually we got it sorted out. A huge shoutout to our server I think her name was Narden, if I remember correctly. She was an absolute sweetheart and took my food allergies very seriously, which I really appreciated. She never stopped moving and still managed to smile. She deserves a raise. I heard they're changing the menu soon, and I'm honestly praying they don't mess with the food because it's already amazing. Keep the chefs exactly where they are and just hire more staff. One last piece of advice... if you're trying to avoid someone, this is NOT the place to go. Apparently everyone in the city hangs out here. I literally walked right past a table of people I know and didn't even notice them (thankfully), because that would've turned into the most awkward "Oh hiiii!" of my life. Overall, the food is incredible, the hookah is the best I've ever had, the atmosphere is beautiful, and the staff work incredibly hard. Just come with a full phone battery, good company, and a little patience... especially if you order a drink.
