I got the beef shawarma and a side of dolma and it is some of the best I have ever had. It was a lot of food for a good price! I will definitely be back when I am on this side of town again. Absolutely recommend.

The quality and flavors are out of this world. The inside is very cute. it is clean and welcoming. We enjoy lunch dates and dinner here as a family. The owners are very friendly. Definitely recommend the lunch for 2. FYI it feeds 4 people easily. Dinner for 3 feeds 6-7. Large portions. The hummus is soooooooo good. Pro tip: ask for extra olive oil. Give this place a try!

Haven't been here in years, decided to take a trip to El Cajon to have lunch at this mom and pop…read moremiddle eastern restaurant with my mom and pop. They definitely invest their time on the taste of their food and serving large portion sizes instead of fancy tables and decor. It's not upscale fine dining... the interioir looks the exact same for past decade. Although a little dated the place is very clean and fits large or small groups. Not a date night spot -- more a friends and family stuff your face kind of place. They have a dedicated parking lot with plenty of spots. We ordered a ton of food to share. Half roasted chicken with side of fatoush salad, beef kabob plate with side of rice, lamb tikka with side of fries, a large plate of hummus, and an order of falafel (Best Falafel in SoCal). EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! I personally didn't like the lamb tikka but everyone else destroyed that plate. We ordered a pot of black tea (mint flavored) and they brought our large pieces of steaming hot fresh bread. Service was very friendly and fast. They modified any order to your liking. They also thanked us for coming and meant it when they said it -- Mom and Pop shops are The Best! Highly Recommend if you're looking for good quality middle eastern food with large portions.

There is not much atmosphere, no fake smiling service employees but they'll be efficient and attentive if you get their attention. All meals come with a warm creamy yellow lentil soup...delightful! $16 Chicken Schwarma plate...HUGE! A humongous generous portion of juicy, succulent, tender, seasoned chicken on top of seasoned rice. Some lovely, garlickly, fluffy bread is served along as a carb buddy, alongside some tomatoes and pickled cabbage(Iraqi Kim Chee Saurkraut?). $16 Roasted Chicken Plate...half chicken, crispy skin, moist and succulent meat, yum! Came with a tomato bean soup. Food came out extremely fast, yet seemed very fresh and prepared expertly! Great place to eat before a show at the Magnolia, so long as you don't need ambience and Applebees/Chili's/TGI Fridays style service.

The hosts don't even know if you are dining in or if your order is takeout. Food was terrible. Undercooked pieces, missing order, and saltiest fries you will ever have. The BEST part is they have items on the menu that they haven't served in over two months and hostess stated pricing is off by $2.00. So make sure to ask what the pricing is before they give you a total. The restaurant, at best, is mainly just for takeout...And but wait there's more. Don't use the bathroom...if you want to remember what it's like to go to a bathroom in the Middle East...you found your spot! Really needs a revamp...from service etiquette to cooking food properly.

And what can I tell you, the place was soooo dusty and there was some garbage on the floor and it could fly away to the table every time there is a wind. I have to clean the dusty table by myself as well!!! In the quite restaurant like this and we are the only customer, come on, even attentive service we didn't get at all. Menu also doesn't include price and contains very minimum info. So fast forward we ordered sucuk (turkish sausage) w/ egg and some turkish breakfast assortment (note that they only serve breakfast menu despite the restaurant mention 'Grill') and the menu was SO pricey. Each of the simple menu, it costs roughly $25, where you may get around $5-$10 cheaper. Will I come back! Big NO
