I think sometimes restaurants have a different level of quality or care for to go orders and I want to call that out. However, the food is quite expensive, and VERY disappointing. Things I ordered Pita bread - was extremely dry, leathery, un-chewable. Must have been stale. Dip mezza - hummus not smooth, no flavor, Lebneh was ok, baba ghanoush almost tasted of artificial smoke flavoring. Shatta - absolutely not shatta. It was oil with chopped herbs that has definitely gone bad. Again absolutely no flavor. Paid $5 for a tiny to go condiment cup of it! What a rip off. Falafel - meh. Lamp gyro - fiance thought it was ok, but also, very bland. There are so many good middle Eastern restaurants I will definitely never order from this restaurant again. It's really sad when you can tell that an establishment simply does not care about the quality or the culinary technique that goes into their food. Especially when they charge so much!

It was piping hot and, well seasoned. I find eating with my hands quite satisfying when it's necessary. Service~Our waiter was very nice, attentive and, a straight shooter (we like that). Asking questions, talking, laughing, and joking was pretty pleasant. I wanted to substitute the green beans but, he advised me that it really helped balance the meal. My man loves greens beans but, he was willing to change it if I didn't like it once it came to the table. Ambiance~Open only Wed~Sun 5-8:00 it's located on a busy/residential street. It has very limited parking in front and, in general. You are going to have hit a few blocks (1-4 hr) because, it's a lot of 30 min parking signs on this particular street. It upstairs on the second floor of the red building. It's a very spacious, clean, and restrooms to the right of you! I would highly recommend this spot for date, family, or a chill night out (lighting is just right)!!!

He was very friendly and charismatic, joking like old friends from the get-go. He provided several recommendations for our group of five. The mixed sambusas were incredible. One friend remarked the lentil one didn't taste vegetarian (which is huge for him). Perfectly crispy with the right amount of spice. We ordered 2 veggie combos, 1 beef combo, a chicken special, and a lamb. It arrived on this giant plate to share. After making sure we all knew how to eat, we dug in! I've had injera before where it was too sour but this was perfect and the subtlest of flavours. The chickpea was my favourite! The salad in the middle was also a perfect cleanser.

Their menu seems simple but everything we have had has been great. A small indoor space but they also have outdoor seating. The staff is always kind and helpful it's like doing to a neighborhood deli you've been visiting your whole life. Nothing pretentious about it, just quality ingredients done right. Their sammys are made with house-baked bread...so good. I have heard the breakfast burritos is good but I can't tear myself away from that ham and cheese with egg on a perfectly fresh, pillowy bun. Give it a try if you're in the mood for something fresh and not too heavy. Also they have a great hot sauce selection.

I placed my order at the counter, and while I was waiting, I could see the food being prepared through the kitchen window. It immediately gave me that homemade, comforting feel, which made me even more excited to try it. I also loved that they have a variety of sauces available so you can adjust the spice level and customize the flavors to your liking. The bowl itself was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. One thing to keep in mind is that this is more of a grab and go spot than a sit down restaurant. They don't have seating, which is the only thing I wish they had because I would've loved to enjoy my bowl there instead of taking it to go.

It did seem like a busy day for them as the order took long, but the staff were really nice and apologetic. This is located in the back of PSU, near the field. There is street parking around the corner - the parking lot is for PSU use. The food was average for me. The beef had a good char and the sauce added some great flavor. I did feel like the beef and plate itself ate slightly sweet for me. Maybe it was sumac? I liked the onion slices, but feel like the side of pickled vegetables added too much to the plate for me.

There was a lottttt of sauce, quite overpowering. However being located on/near the college campus, I feel it could still be a hit. Especially on late nights. It's the only food joint that I saw in the area. No seating strictly for them since it's a food truck but there are nearby areas you could sit. Parking nearby, not sure how strictly enforced it is though as it's again, on/near campus.. The service was a little slow in my opinion while they did not seem busy. Not sure that I'd return but it was worth the try!

The portions were standard in size, and the food was less sweet than some Thai places, which were both plusses for us. We, overall though, were not so impressed with the seasoning and found the food a little bit bland--not talking about spice level here, just overall flavoring. The vegetables were also overcooked, with soggy broccoli appearing in two of the dishes. Some of that may be because of delivery, although other restaurants manage to get their vegetables right even with that. We probably won't order from here again, as it's completely adequate but not much more. We almost always order one Pad See Ew, and it serves as a reference point between different restaurants.
