I forgot to get my receipt and the owner was kind enough to just send it over to me next day after a phone call. Really top notch customer service in that aspect.

Rating: 4.5 Came to…read morestop by for dinner on the way back from Vermont. The place has good reviews so decided to try it. It's a middle eastern restaurant primarily serves shawarma and other middle eastern cuisines. It's located next to a college building. Parkings are street only. Once we parked on the street we walked over to the restaurant. Inside is spacious pretty clean and there are quite a bit of tables and chairs. We went up to the counter to place orders. I got mixed shawarma plate and baklava. I wanted to try their mango lassi but they were out. The shawarma plate came with choice of rice or mujadara which is a lentil mixed with other vegetables. I got rice with it and it comes with chicken and beef shawarma, rice, salad, pita bread, hummus, garlic sauce and baba ghanoush. The salad, rice, pita bread, and shawarma were ok. Shawarma may have been better if it was earlier during the day as they would be fresher. The stars of the show were the sauces. Hummus, baba ghanoush and garlic sauce were all excellent. Mixing the sauce elevated the shawarma to the next level. Baklava was delicious as well. Not too sweet and that nutty flavor comes out strong. Service was good and staffs were friendly. The dish came out within about 10 minutes or so Overall it's a pretty good shawarma spot. If i were to come back i would see if they would allow substitution with salad for more rice and sauces on top instead of side so that i can have more rice and meat. I've had better quality shawarma but sauces were excellent.

It is possible that the ambiance will cause you to halt when you first come in because it is somewhat humble and bare-bones, but you should not let this discourage you. The service is always attentive and courteous, and there is plenty of space available, particularly to accommodate families near the front of the establishment. Despite the fact that it took some time to make, the chicken mandi that I ordered was served scorching hot, fresh, and well worth the wait. The chicken mandi is made with halal meat. I added some heat to it by using the sauces and spicy sauce that were provided, which really brought out the true tastes of the dish. Do not pass up the opportunity to indulge in genuine Middle Eastern cuisine in Worcester; this restaurant is not to be missed!

The food was a fixed menu of family style eating with constant amazing food coming out throughout the night. The food was fresh and tasted amazing! I was with a group of 10, the tables are round so it was perfect for conversation before the entertainment started. Cons- It was on the pricier side, for 10 people, a few only had one drink, one didn't drink, and several had a few drinks and the bill was over $1200. The place had 75% empty tables. It seemed to take a while for the show to start. Before the show, it was bright, with no background music and with all the empty tables it just felt odd. Once the show came on though the whole vibe changed.

I'd recommend giving yourself a little extra time during busy hours. Our server was wonderful. She offered thoughtful recommendations, was attentive throughout the meal, and even wrapped up our leftovers for us. Everything we ordered was delicious and served in generous portions. If you're a fan of beef tartare, I highly recommend the Kibbee Nayye. It's beautifully prepared and served with olive oil, raw onion, fresh mint, and pita. The Family Platter #2 is also a fantastic option if you want to sample a bit of everything. Our favorites were the baba ghannouj, layered kibbee, and the super refreshing tabouli. We ended the meal with the Katayef Ashta, a pancake filled with sweet cream that reminded me of ricotta, and it was the perfect finish. We can't wait to come back!

Was not expecting to have such a horrible meal…read more I dine frequently at various Lebanese restaurants and this one was on my list to taste. The food looked appealing to the naked eye but the taste was lackluster, cold and not cooked properly. I ordered the stuffed grape leaves. They were definitely not made in house. Tasted like the kind you buy in the aluminum can. Ice cold!! The rice was not cooked all the way through. The rice inside of the grape leaves were parcooked and hard. So cold I had to ask the man to warm them up. If I would have known the man was going to microwaved them I would've just said forget about it. When you are dining out that is the last thing I want is my food microwaved. Chicken soup was bland and lukewarm warm. As you walk up to the front door everything was so well kept, nice and shiny. Lesson learned, all that glitters is not gold.

I'd never really had Syrian food before, and I was blown away by the flavors and portion sizes. I…read moreordered both the whole chicken plate and a muhmmara pie, and I had enough food for probably 3 meals! Keep in mind that if you order the whole chicken plate, you need to place your order at least 45 minutes in advance for them to prepare it, but it's 1000% worth it. Whole Chicken Plate - I think this is actually a Cornish game hen rather than a really small chicken, and it was so perfectly juicy and fresh tasting. Ordering takeout chicken is especially risky of being dry, but this was juicy and cooked to perfection. The spices on the chicken had just the right amount of kick, and the nuts and the rice were seasoned perfectly. I'd eat just the rice without the meat too - it was that good! Side of Mutabal - I had never had this before, but it was so so so so good! It had a sort of creamy texture to it (maybe yogurt?) and it was so rich and satisfying. I'm also a fan of baba ganoush but this takes eggplant to another level - I'm going to have to order this again and again and even look up a recipe to make at home. Absolutely recommend this gem of a side! Muhmmara pie - This was the one dish that was just okay - the pepper paste was good, but I was expecting a different kind of carb wrapping - the photos I'd seen look a bit different - this was more of a pita with the pepper spread on it and folded in half. I'd like to try again to see if it's the same thing as the other pictures on yelp or if perhaps the "pie" part of this was just different this particular day. All in all though, this was a solid 5/5. The whole chicken plate was perfect and I'd get it again with the mutabal any day!

I remembered previously ordering a Chicken Shawarma Plate. That is now in the "Specialties" section of the menu and that's what I ordered expecting to get the same plate of delicious chicken, rice, salad and hummus. I was shocked that this $20 "Specialty" consisted of a dry chicken wrap, french fries, some sort of yogurt dip and AWFUL, salty pickled vegetables. The fries were good but you don't go to a specialty Mediterranean place to get fries with a meal described as a plate. Apparently, you can no longer get a true plate of chicken shawarma with rice here. I do plan to return again some day and try the Kofta Kebab or Mixed Grill Plate from the "Entree" section since these still come with rice but everyone should be avoiding the "Specialties" plates as these are poorly executed and severely overpriced. Regardless of what you are ordering, I would highly recommend calling in your order to confirm exactly what you are going to get with your order since the online menus have no details whatsoever.
