Soooo Delicious!!!…read more Service was excellent!!! Owners made all the food to order and served the dishes to everyone. They interacted with all the customers, explaining the menu, and giving recommendations. They were very friendly and welcoming. Food was DELICIOUS!!!! Everything was made fresh to order. I came for brunch and ended up overeating... it was soo good, I couldn't stop. I ordered some tea, a bowl of amazing garlicky Foul (pronounced fool, an open faced meat pie (lahm bajeen) in the flakiest lightest crust I've ever had, and super sweet and extra cheesy Kunafi with Kaack for desert. I was so impressed, I ordered dinner to-go (Stuffed kusa (known as mexican squash) and stuffed cabbage). Large beautiful dining area, great for small or big groups. Warning, parking is tight.

They do Kunafa well but their people skills need a bit of work. I went in last min to get a Kunafa…read morefor the family and understandably if they were too busy or whatever they could have simply said "no, sorry" and life would have moved on. But instead the whole ordeal (because that's what it ended up being) was very uncomfortable and unsavory. When i put my order in, the kitchen responded with a slew of insults in arabic, upset about the last min request. Me being mixed race, my appearance doesn't scream 'arabic speaker' and to be honest my arabic ain't perfect but i knew i was being insulted and that clearly the last min order was a problem. I had told them it's okay i understand it wasn't a good time and subtly hinted at being able to understand what was happening, which ended up making things even weirder. Instead of them taking the out i gave them, they insisted they could make the dessert and while i waited I was put to a test to see if i truly understood what had been said about me. The woman in front and the man in the back both took turns talking to me in both english and rapid speed arabic to test how much i could have possibly understood. I was in shock and smiled my way through the very strange interaction because i was still much too shocked to even formulate a proper emotional response to the rudeness. The moment I got the food i took it with a smile (still) because it was ramadan and it wasn't worth breaking my fast over and i haven't looked back. Now even tho it's blocks from my home I just go to El cajon if i want kunafa or anything else they offer. Other than that the place inside looked nice and again the kunafa was tasty but that was unfortunately my one and only experience there.

Ambiance is gorgeous. Loved spending time in such a pretty place. Drinks were also very very good…read more Food was less than mediocre. It seems the restauranteurs spend more money on aesthetic than gastronomy. I think it's also important to note that service was top notch. Everyone was extremely kind and professional.

I've been a customer of this restaurant for the last 4 years. And 4 years ago, the quality and…read moreportions of the dishes were outstanding. I don't know what happened to this place, but the last 2 times I've ordered food from them I noticed a dramatical change in their standards. The Alamanara salad is not what it used to be. Now, it is basically 95 % green lettuce and a scarce amount of tomatoes and cucumbers, a very tiny portion of Feta cheese and one thin slice of a black olive. All this with almost undectable amount of dressing. I've talked to the manager the first time and it was fixed. But the second time was to go so I sent them a message through facebook. 1.5 hours later I received a call from the owner asking me to tell the cashier next time I order food from them. I am sorry there will be no next time. They lost a customer. It used to be a good place. I do not recommend it now. You pay way to much for the food quality and portions. It is not worth it. There is a ton of other good places in the same area with same prices and higher standards.

I was recommended this restaurant by a friend and it is very unassuming. When I went inside on a…read moreSunday evening, it was warm due to the busy cooks in the back. A couple families were enjoying dinner and I was greeted at the counter by a friendly woman. I ordered to go and it took about 10-15 mins to get my food, so that was about standard. The biriyani rice is the highlight of the show, but the chicken shawarma itself was very dry, so that was disappointing. I also ordered the beef kebab skewers with fries, which weren't bad. Honestly, I would come back, but I wouldn't get their chicken shawarma again.

A hidden gem in Elcajon Opened about 4 months ago…read moreHonestly I was a little skeptical as it was not busy but I decided to take my chance. I went to my family Once we walked it It was clean and well kept The owner welcomed us right a way and he was very nice Fast service We had dhyafa ( free of charge) up front lentil soap and hummus with beef shawrma and pickles. All of which fresh and tasty Now the most important part the food Kabob - like Erbil ( the best I had in here and believe me I tried them all) so 100/10 Beef tikka DELICIOuis Qoozi perfect Chicken kreemchup very good all fresh well seasoned and full of flavor large portions HIGHLY recommend to check this place out Ample of parking as well
