We started with the Jarra de Café Arabe which was made just right. It reminded me of Lebanon and gave me that midday caffeine kick I needed. The Pan con Queso y Zaatar was surprisingly not authentic. It was essentially just cheese with dry zaatar on the side. I was expecting it to be baked with half Cheese and half Zaatar. They essentially gave us the zaatar to sprinkle on our own. The Pastel de Dátil was rich, naturally sweet from the dates, and a bit dense. I picked up on other spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom which gave it some warmth while the crust was more crunchy and nutty. Good try, overall!

Not the best for a large group as there is limited seating. Not an issue as I was dining solo. They only have falafel sandwiches either a wrap, pita or salad . Ingredients are fresh, I thought falafel could have been fried just a bit more to have more crispy texture. The inside was tad dense also. I wish I could have had a side of sauce to add a little kick. as flavors were monotone. No pickles or anything salty or acidic inside the pita to balance flavors, that's what I am used to. It seemed there was only one bottle which he gave to another table. One suggestion is to have a little bowl so one take some sauce to the table without taking entire bottle. Language is a barrier as I am not fluent and felt shy to grab the bottle, I am sure that lady would have been ok with it lol but was feeling self conscious about coming off as rude and getting us American a bad rap. Overall an ok meal, it wasn't bad but not did it blow my mind.

Service was prompt and friendly at the beginning. I specifically enjoyed the opportunity to observe the arrival of elite Mexican society at this restaurant. I liked that the restrooms were very clean. I recommend visiting this restaurant at dinner time to enjoy the theater of being around elite Mexican society. The warm grape leaves and dips were a special treat. I liked the kabobs because the meat was very tender. If these two very minor issues can be promptly addressed, I think this restaurant has the potential to return to its four-star or possibly climb to a five-star rating. I think hygiene of the restaurant can continue to be enhanced with more integrated pest management in the form of glue-based traps as a small black insect crawled across our table--no surprise as I pointed this out to the staff. Also service can be enhanced toward the end, specifically, two of the left-over dishes we requested for take-out were not included when we got home. Since the price was world-class, I did feel obligated to calibrate this restaurant to a three-star rating to take these issues into account as one expects details like these to be handled. Overall, the food is world-class, ambiance can be further enhanced, opening service is world-class, end-service can also be further enhanced.
