Such a great experience with Fana's and are so glad we found them in this cute little plaza! They are currently doing to-go orders with chicken and waffles, fish and chips, and sambusas, yum. Their service was also amazing - I mentioned I had a dietary restriction while making my order and to my surprise, the young lady who was helping us offered to ask her mom in the kitchen to make me a custom order, and she and her mom were super thoughtful about making sure the orders accommodated both me and my husband! We ate it hot and it was crisp, fragrant and so tasty!! Such a warm and welcoming family restaurant takeaway experience, looking forward to going there for breakfast chicken and waffles next time!

We decided on trying Kenyan food which we had never tried before. We were really glad we made this stop! Before getting there we were really set on the Samaki and we decided on getting it wet fried when we realized that was an option. The service was incredibly kind and we could tell that each dish was made to order with care. The samaki came with two sides and it was completely shareable which made it very affordable too. We were really happy we got the wet fry option because The curry that it came with was amazing. We were so happy with all the rich and colorful flavors. The restaurant itself is pretty small but offers a good number a seats. We will happily be back soon.

Here's a polished version that keeps the emotion and details while staying clear and credible:…read more We chose this restaurant for our first date night since having our baby, so we were especially excited after reading all the positive reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was incredibly disappointing. We arrived at 8:00 p.m. and didn't receive our food until after 10:00 p.m. Keep in mind the restaurant closes at 9:00 p.m., so we even watched them lock the doors while we were still waiting. There was only one other table of four people dining, and it appeared they had also been waiting a long time for their food. When we finally realized we needed to get home to relieve our babysitter, we asked our server to pack our meals to go. Instead of apologizing for the two-hour wait, he told us we "should have come earlier." We reminded him that we had arrived two hours before and had no reason to expect such a long delay. He showed no empathy or accountability. We still tried to stay positive, hoping the food would at least live up to the hype. Unfortunately, when we got home, we found the dishes to be overwhelmingly salty. We understand that delays can happen, but poor communication and a complete lack of customer service turned what should have been a special evening into a frustrating experience. We left feeling disappointed and unlikely to return.

It was my first time trying Al Azayem tonight and I had mixed reactions to their food. Wanting to…read moresample a bit of everything, I got their spicy tikka chicken plate, chef's special lamb plate, falafel salad, and beef schawarma sandwich. The meal came with 3 large pieces of homemade boat-shaped pita, 3 sides of hummus, and 2 side salads (as well as the entrée sized salad with the falafel), and 2 sides of spiced rice. Note: I told them I had an egg allergy so I don't know if anything was modified in my order from the standard menu. While flavors were excellent, the meats were quite dry overall, with the worst being the beef schawarma in the sandwich which was irredeemably dry. Like, maybe a few days old and re-fried kind of dry. No amount of sauce or douses of extra olive oil could save the dehydrated, jerky-like beef chips that lay shriveled amongst a bed of gorgeous fresh veggies and delicious homemade pita. It was depressing to eat. Their talents seem to shine best in the dinner plates, so I will only order from that menu going forward and just forget the sandwiches. I was also very impressed with their falafel and thought this dish was the standout star of the grouping. Each oily little falafel donut was perfeftly crunchy on the outside and pillowy on the inside with good seasoning, and the cheese on the salad with it was a nice touch.
