This place is exceptional! The food. The service. The people. The hookah. The owner. Literally a fantastic experience!!!
We show up and I didn't have high expectations, given there's only 2 reviews and it's not fancy looking from the outside. And yet...
We walk in and there's a group of men playing cards around a table. Then go to the back coffee shop area and meet a group of young men and they immediately welcome us and talk to us like old friends. I told them I had never had hookah before, but always wanted it. So they immediately started telling me all about it and asking me questions on what I like. During the education, not one, but two different guys offered up their hookahs for me to taste as they made recommendations and helped me decide on my flavor.
I then went to the counter to order some food and noticed they had Turkish coffee. I LOVE Turkish coffee and they did not disappoint. They then mentioned and recommended Moroccan tea, which was exceptional. I was going to order a giro, which I love, but because it was Friday, they had some off menu items and highly recommended them. The men sitting around the tables said "order it! Im a foodie and you can only get that if you travel to Morocco." I ordered the chicken dish and HOLY COW it was incredible!!!! Seriously, some of the best tasting chicken I've EVER eaten. It came in a sauce made in heaven along with thinly sliced potatoes cooked to perfection and a bunch of green olives that had the best flavor ever (just be aware the pit is still in them).
Everyone in the group ordered something different and all thought it was exceptional and everyone raved about the staff and experience.
The staff was exceptional! Very pleasant, welcoming, professional, polite, always serving without bothering, making you feel like family and guest of honor.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The owner was present, welcoming, made time for us to speak to each of us individually, made room for us at the last minute, and everyone in the building followed suit. read more
