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.

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!

This time I got the tandoori chicken over rice with extra garlic sauce and the veggie samosas. The chicken was good as always, topped with onions and cilantro, and the portion size is no joke. One order is easily enough for at least two meals. The samosas definitely have some spice to them, so if that's not your thing, be warned! They come with a sweet tamarind date chutney that adds the perfect balance and helps cut through the heat.
