Samir was a gracious host and whipped us up a fresh, delicious feast. The hummus, babaganoush, and fava bean were fresh and lemony. The eggplant was perfectly grilled w/ an tangy pomegranate reduction, which was also on the salad. The falafel was freshly made and crunchy. And the chicken kebabs were surprisingly moist (for kebabs) and flavorful. It's more expensive that you might be used to coming from middle eastern places in NY, but in line with other tourist restaurants in the area. Don't be thrown by the small tables downstairs. There's an upstairs that can fit another 12-15 people. My kids are vegetarian and were in heaven after 2 weeks of just pizza, pasta, bread and cheese.

Okay! So... The beef and chicken kebab were both quite tasty - though the beef was a bit tough. The felafel was interesting. My wife's favorite was some spicy peppers that the owner brought out just for her. They looked like green string beans but had the heat of a jalapeño. I had ordered an appetizer but it never did show up. Due to the language barrier it could have been one of the things that wasn't available today. Oh well. Overall good experience.

Accompanied by fellow yelpers, we head for this "posh" kebab joint, distinguished by three spit-roast doner options - beef, chicken and vegetarian. The interior is swankier than your average kebab shop, with a room on the side featuring table-clothed tables, charming prints and a collection of fezes (can't resist a fez). We start with a plate of falafel to share, 6 pieces for a good value €5, and a plate of mixed antipasti for €8. The baba ganoush and hummus are pretty good, and there are also creamed zucchini, beans and potato puree. We all order kebab on the plate, a portion of seasoned beef, chicken or a vegetarian option dressed with a little bit of salad. This is "make your own" kebab time, with unleavened slices of pitta-style bread and salsas to share. Pity they only bring 2 spoons for the four salsas - they're soon all mixed together. And for a group of five people, they run out immediately so we request more. Overall the impression is good and the food is tasty, although I do prefer a lamb kebab. The main dishes are also quite pricey at €12 each although the kebab meat is good quality. The five of us pay €16 a head, after sharing two bottles of water as well, and go away full and pretty satisfied.

Lots and lots of options...not just your standard lettuce, tomato, onion and sauce. My friend and I ate in near silence because it was so good. We ate very well in Rome, but if you need a break from Italian food or Rome is sucking away all your money (and it will), go here. This place was recommended by a Roman friend who really talked it up, and it exceeded expectations.

I have tried gazillion hummus throughout my life (i grew up in the Middle East) but i must say this hummus was one of the top 3 hummus i have had. Their bread was so soft and perfect in taste!

WOREST food ever DO NOT GO PLEASE August 2024…read moreIf there is worst FOOD than this, I'll die from hunger...... I'm from Lebanon, and the food is not Lebanese or Mediterranean or any other kind, I think they make there own recipes that are not related to any culture. And WHY THE €8 for bread we did not ask for and the €9 service fee, ARE YOU F KIDDING ME. It sucks, but I paid so we don't get into an argument with the owner as he was on Facebook reading all the bad reviews. Also, the place was empty, that was an indication not to order more food.

*** ATTENTION REVIEWERS ... THIS REVIEW IS BASED ON VISITS TO SIMILAR PLACES IN ROME ONLY…read more.. ACCORDINGLY THIS IS ONLY LIMITED TO MY EXPERIENCE IN ROME ONLY *** 1- The place: the place is magnificent, them is gorgeous, makes you feel that you are at one of Mediterranean Cafés especially Middle Eastern countries. 2- location: in the Campo di fiori area, a well known normally busy area with many people from different ethnicities and cultures. 3- Prices: relatively fair if you order wisely with getting the value of what you pay. 4- Food & Drinks: Genuine and tasty, portions are good. If you like Mediterranean cuisine then go to try what they have on the menu. 5- Shisha/Hookah: (limited to my experience in Rome only), by far one of the best places to have Shisha at and price is a bit cheaper than many others in the business. Good variety of flavours to choose from and somehow the Shisha lasts for a reasonable period of time. 6- Service: can't complain since its my 1st visit to the place and it was in the weekend and things are crazy during weekends. Recommendations: * Work more on improving and have a bit faster service especially when it's related to Shisha and changing charcoals. * Shisha flavours need more work when preparing the mixtures and adding flavours and shisha would taste much better if flavours are a bit more condensed.. Conclusion: by far one of the best in the area and highly recommend it. Will be my new escape place and hope owners & management pay attention to my concerns and recommendations (I am a previous HOOKAH place owner) Wish you all the best and hope visitors will have a pleasant experience similar to the one I had!!
