Today was cold and I really wanted something warm and soothing. I asked what kind of soup they had…read moreand was told it's lentil soup. I ordered the bowl which came with fresh bread. I was a little leary at first bc it's so thick- not soupy at all but that first bite was magical. Creamy, flavorful, and comforting soup! You really just can't go wrong with anything here.

I dared not go to the restroom even though I could have went. Everything just looked so used and un-wiped down. The walls were dusty. More than likely I won't return unless I hear that they've taken the time to better clean the place. 6/10 for me because of presentation if you don't care about that kind of stuff then 8.5/10 on the food alone.

We got the rose, which came with real rose petals on the top, and the Dubai chocolate- layers of pistachio ice cream, chocolate, and wafers. Both were delicious! The rest of the menu is good, too. The mezzo platters have amazingly good hummus and baba ghanoush, and the lamb is beautifully cooked. There's a nice outside patio. Avoid school pick-up time- the restaurant is right next to Germantown High.

It's been some time since I've had the pleasure of eating here but I had some time today for lunch…read more It was a beautiful day so I dined al fresco and enjoyed the weather. The restaurant is beautiful and relaxing inside. The staff were amazing and pleasant. I had been thinking about that wonderful spicy bread and had planned on ordering more to take home with me. I ordered the Kafta Kabob and the mint lemonade. The lemonade was so good and refreshing. My meal was good but the bread and rice was different. Instead of that delicious flavor on the inside of the bread it was split open and hard like a cracker. The spice wasn't there and the rice was also not as flavorful. I know some restaurants are having a difficult time keeping staff and maybe the cook is not as experienced, or maybe the head cook was off that day, or maybe they have to cut costs and instead of serving a full piece of bread with that lovely spice inside of it, they now have to split it in order to cut cost. I will show Grace because the rest of the food was good and I would recommend this place. I will return again and Just Maybe they will be serving that Good Bread! Let's Hope So!

From the moment we walked in, everything felt top-tier--clean, welcoming, and beautifully set up for a great dining experience. The salad bar? Next level. Fresh, vibrant, and packed with a wide variety of options that could honestly be a meal on its own. Every bite felt high-quality and thoughtfully prepared. And the service... flawless. Attentive without being overbearing, friendly, and genuinely on point the entire time. You can tell they care about making sure every guest has an amazing experience. Of course, the star of the show--the meats--were incredible. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and served just right. Pair that with prices that won't make you question your life choices, and you've got a total win. Hands down one of the best Brazilian steakhouses I've ever been to. We'll absolutely be back for more.

We got seated and our server came over and asked if we've been here before and we said yes, she said great and took our drink order. We ordered water. As we were making our way to the salad bar, I mentioned to my husband that they have a really good tea here that my sister always recommend. We made our way back to our table and waited for our meats to be served. Meats came out, we ate. Our waitress has yet to come back to check on us at all she since she last seated us. We've been seated from over 30 mins. She has walked past us at least 10 times but no effort in stopping to ask if we needed anything. I probably won't be back after this.

The service was a teeny bit slow but I would wait hours for the food. The menu says best tea in Memphis and I have to agree. Fragrant, sweet, savory, it was amazing. We didn't go in super hungry so split an appetizer and an entree. Beef and lamb kabob over hummus was superb. The hummus was the fluffiest and smoothest I have ever had. The entree was the Moussaka and I have been craving it since we had it three days ago. Literally can't wait to go back.

My sis and I are fans of falafel. The plate came with a bit of hummus but we ordered more separately and are so glad we did! The hummus tasted so good we couldn't stop eating it! They put a little sumac in it and the tweak in the taste really grabbed all of us. Mom liked the falafel so much she wanted to understand what all was in it! We decided to try the fish fahsah and wow were we glad we did! We all agreed this is a must have on the menu for us, though we also want to try the lam version. It had such an incredible combination of flavors! We always like the kabobs and went for the chicken again. The plate includes chicken, rice, pickled vegetables and yogurt. We ordered to go, service as always was great.

Lots of options for parking and you can do a little shopping if you need any of the other shops in the complex! Service is great, the staff was very friendly. I was offered complimentary hot tea upon arrival and even got complimentary lamb broth soup and a small (but delicious!) salad with cucumber, lettuce, tomato with my entree. My first time there I ordered the half grilled chicken plate and hummus. The hummus arrived first and was beautifully plated and came with a huge piece of homemade and FRESH bread. Hummus was delicious and the bread was warm and cozy. The half chicken plate came out and let me tell you, I ate that food for the next three days. It was just little ol' me with a giant half chicken, probably a pint of rice, and a salad of veggies. It was soooooooo good. I love taking a bite of hummus with some rice and some chicken. It makes my heart happy. The next time I went I ordered the chicken kabob plate to try to scale it down. The kabob plate didn't come with the soup and salad, but that was okay because it was still a ton of food! Ten pieces of grilled chicken, a huge serving of rice, and some veggies on the side. I can't wait to eat it for the next few days. This place is easy, right off Perkins exit of the 40, lots of parking, and you can sit by yourself and have a nice long lunch. It's not the most aesthetically pleasing place on the inside, but when the food tastes like it does it doesn't even matter. Bonus it's right next to a cozy Yemeni coffee shop and a Mediterranean grocery store.
