The best among the grilled protein, the chicken kabab is the best. Service is good. The wait may take 25 minutes to grilled. Overall they are good food.

We ordered the Petra Mixed Grill, which came with rice and a side of baba ganoush. The chicken,…read morebeef, and kebab were all flavorful. They were big, hearty chunks of meat that stayed juicy and tender, never dry. My top favorite was the babaganoush. This eggplant dip wasn't too sour, wasn't too salty, and that smoky undertone made it absolutely irresistible. We also ordered the Maklubk, a traditional dish featuring a fried half chicken served over a generous mound of rice. The chicken had beautifully crispy skin and well-seasoned. The rice was impressive-soft and aromatic, layered with eggplant, cauliflower, onion and potato. Truly unique. Portions were generous. We walked out with two boxes of leftovers. The service was good and the dining area was clean and comfortable. The dishes took about 25 minutes to arrive. But once the food hit the table, it was clear the kitchen wasn't cutting corners. The chef took his/her time, and it showed in every bite. We had a genuinely enjoyable experience here.

Came here last night for dinner and I'm currently having my leftovers as I am writing this review…read more The food was so good. It wasn't busy on a Wednesday night and we were seated right away. We ordered the lentil soup (big enough to share) and the Sampler Appetizer to start. As my entree I ordered the grilled chicken kabab with my two sides as salad and hummus. The server advised it would take about 30 minutes for our food to come out but idk why he said that because it really didn't. Shortly after our appetizers arrived and once we finished the apps, the entrees arrived. It felt no longer than any other dining experience that is on time. There was complimentary pita and a dip brought to our table and WOW. So good. The pita was so hot and fresh and fluffy while the olive oil in the dip..... you can just taste how it's not the olive oil you get at the grocery store. The red paste in the dip was a little spicy but very enjoyable. The lentil soup tasted homemade and the sampler appetizer plate had the best grape leaves I've ever had. The hummus was delicious but really, the baba ghanoush was my favorite I think. The eggplant tasted like smokey/ charred before being mixed up and wow. It was next level!! By the time my entree came I was practically full. But I had a little of my kababs and they were cooked and seasoned so, so well. I am enjoying my plate today and it still tastes just as great as last night. I will definitely be back here soon!!!

Sometimes I get salad instead of fries, but today was that kind of day. The falafel is fresh perfectly fried extremely tasty. The hummus is their usual high-quality homemade version. Lamberger came out piping hot, juicy on a fresh bun and the fries are delicious. I also ordered an unsweetened iced tea and that came out just fine exactly the way I like it ice cold. Even though I sat outside and it's a bit noisy here and a bit hot. I really don't care because I do love this place. If something goes wrong here, make sure to tell them right away and they'll fix it. They're very good. Finally, let me just say how much I appreciate the consistency on your Quality as well as the freshness of their ingredients at all times. As usual, highly recommended!

You can taste the difference immediately -- the meat is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor, and the bread comes out warm and fresh. The portions are generous, everything tasted fresh, and the garlic sauce is absolutely addictive. Every bite has that authentic Syrian flavor that's honestly hard to find. The staff were welcoming and friendly, the place was clean, and the food came out fresh and hot. You can tell they actually care about the quality of what they serve. If you're craving real Middle Eastern/Syrian food, GO HERE. Get the shawarma, load it up with garlic sauce, and thank me later. Definitely one of those places you try once and immediately start thinking about when you're coming back. 10/10 -- I'll absolutely be back!

You grab a tray and a pair of tongs and make your way through the bakery, with separate glass display cases for the sweet and savory pastries. You just pick whatever looks good -- which is dangerous because everything looks good! First of all, the prices are fantastic. Most of the buns are under $4. My absolute favorite was the ham and cheese bun. The bun is slightly sweet and the ham and cheese are savory, and the combination is SO good. The blueberry bun was another favorite -- it almost had a blueberry cheesecake flavor. We also tried the curry bun, which was delicious. We ordered several of the hot items too. The har gow (shrimp dumplings) were outstanding. They have a delicate steamed wrapper filled with plump, juicy shrimp, and these were honestly some of the best I've ever had. I've eaten in multiple restaurants in Chinatown in both Los Angeles and San Francisco, so that's saying a lot! The Shanghai dumplings, which are little soup dumplings filled with meat and broth, were also delicious. We also tried the steamed pork ribs. The flavor was very good, but steamed pork has a different appearance and there were some fatty pieces. I'm glad we tried them, but they're probably the one thing I wouldn't order again. Another huge plus was the pricing on the hot food -- every hot entrée we looked at was under $10. Between the two of us, we ordered seven different things, couldn't even finish everything, and our entire check was only $46. Great quality, great variety, and an incredible value. I will definitely be back. I was going to say I wish there were one closer to us...but maybe it's a good thing there isn't, because I would probably eat those ham and cheese buns every day! Five stars!

Extremely disappointing customer service, especially from the manager…read more I placed an order for two milk tea drinks at 1:24 PM. While waiting, I watched another customer receive her drinks even though I was already ahead of her by approximately four customers in line. At 1:32 PM, I approached the gentleman at the counter to ask about my order. He did not greet me or acknowledge me. He looked at my receipt, looked at his watch, and dismissively said, "It's not even 10 minutes." He then asked me, "What do you want to do?" When I asked what he meant, he told me I could either wait or get my money back. He checked in the back and came back telling me it would be another five minutes. I agreed to wait. Five minutes later, instead of simply addressing the delay or apologizing, he told me I could grab a bun while I waited. I explained that I already had a bun and that, considering the inconvenience and the way the situation was handled, I felt a discount would have been an appropriate gesture. Instead, he offered to refund my money and gave me another receipt without the drinks. The most disappointing part was Norman, the manager. At no point did he apologize, acknowledge the inconvenience, or make any genuine effort to resolve the situation professionally. As a manager, I expected him to step in, listen to the customer, and demonstrate some level of courtesy and accountability. Instead, his attitude left me with the very clear impression that he simply did not care whether he had my business or not. I completely understand that a bakery can get busy and that orders can sometimes take longer than expected. The issue wasn't simply the wait--it was the attitude and the complete lack of customer service. A simple apology and a professional response could have completely changed the experience. Unfortunately, I left feeling dismissed and unappreciated as a customer. Management should understand that customers remember how they are treated, especially when something goes wrong. I will not be returning, and I hope the owners take this feedback seriously and address how customers are being treated by management.
