The skirt steak was with the eggs and hash browns! The homemade pancakes were divine- I usually don't care for pancakes but these were good and memorable. The horchatta was excellent too!!

I randomly tried this place after asking Siri for "nearby breakfast spots," and am SO GLAD that I…read moredid! They have a great (but not overwhelmingly large) menu with standard Mexican offerings like chilaquiles, standard American options, as well as French crepes. I had the Berry Crepes, and a side of bacon. Not only were the crepes delicious (and with fresh fruit), but for a little breakfast spot in a strip mall I was VERY surprised by the beautiful presentation. I'm not someone who typically takes pictures of food, but I had to take a picture this time! The bacon was cooked just the way I like it, a little crispy + a little chewy = perfection. They do kind of crank the AC, and even as person who likes it a little chilly, I was a tad cold. But that's a very minor thing, and it would never prevent me from recommending this hidden gem! I'll definitely return to try some of the other breakfast options here, especially after the waitress told me everyone loves their pancakes.

Food: 2.2/5. As a big fan of chilaquiles, I was excited to…read moretry Tiztal Cafe's chilaquiles after hearing theirs was one of the best in town. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was very disappointed. The chilaquiles were disappointing and lacked flavor. Not pictured is my girlfriend's chicken chilaquiles. The chicken was bland - I don't think they seasoned it at all. It also looked bad - just one big white piece of chicken that looked like they just threw it on the grill with no thought. That's not chilaquiles, at least not in my book. I will not be coming back. Service: 2/5. Inattentive service.

It's clear the kitchen really knows what they're doing. The restaurant was very busy, which I completely understand. I know how overwhelming it can get for servers, especially during rush hours, so I'm always patient with that. That said, the service was just alright. We were a bit ignored at times, We even spoke Spanish since the staff were Hispanic (and so are we), hoping that might make communication smoother, but unfortunately the service still didn't match the high standard set by the food. Overall, I'd come back for the food without hesitation -- I just hope the service improves to match how great the dishes are.

I would definitely recommend the chicken and while the doner looked great, I wasn't able to get any of it either. Conversely, the falafel seemed a bit over-fried and kinda dry potentially as a result while the hot sauce had a good flavor to it but wasn't spicy enough for me. Though perhaps I just prefer a spicier harissa. I would be happy to eat it again overall though

Ragadan has become one of my go-to spots in Uptown, and after multiple visits, I can confidently…read moresay the consistency is one of the biggest reasons I keep coming back. Whether I'm grabbing a quick lunch or stopping in for dinner, the food has always been fresh, the service has been welcoming, and the overall experience has never disappointed. My order rarely changes because the patty melt is just that good. The burger is perfectly cooked with a flavorful sear, topped with melty cheese and caramelized onions that add just the right amount of sweetness. Everything comes together on a toasted sesame bun that's crisp on the outside while still soft enough to hold everything together. It's rich without being overly heavy, and every bite reminds me why I haven't felt the need to order anything else. The fries are equally deserving of praise. They're consistently served hot, crispy, and well-seasoned, with a fluffy interior that makes them impossible to stop eating. They taste like they're made fresh to order, and they're the perfect complement to the patty melt. I always tell myself I'll save a few for later, but that never seems to happen. Beyond the food, the staff has always been friendly, patient, and genuinely appreciative of their customers, which keeps me coming back just as much as the food. It's also in a convenient Uptown location that's easy to get to, making it a great option whether you're a local or just exploring the neighborhood. One thing I really appreciate is that Ragadan doesn't feel like it's chasing trends. Instead, it focuses on making high-quality food with unique Jordanian-inspired influences while still delivering familiar comfort food that anyone can enjoy. It's the kind of independent restaurant that's worth supporting because they consistently get the fundamentals right. I've recommended Ragadan to several friends, and it's become a place I don't hesitate to revisit whenever I'm craving a great burger. If it's your first time, do yourself a favor and order the patty melt with fries--you'll understand why it's become my standing order. It's one of Uptown's gems, and I'll definitely be back again.

What are the odds one restaurant can be a serious contender for the best falafel AND the best burgers in town? I've been there a few times and I'm in love with the ka'ak patty melt burger. Its not only melted cheese and grilled onions. It's bacon and jalapeño and za'ater mayonnaise. And it's two burgers. Served on an amazing sesame loaf. We split it and fries (also delicious with za'atar seasoning) and that was plenty.. But the onion burger is also pretty great. And you have to get the falafel. Also the onion rings. You may want to skip lunch. Ragadan has quickly become one of the first places I think of when we consider picking up dinner somewhere. We've eaten in, but there's not a lot of ambience. And even though they have a powerful space heater, the dining area is kind of cold in the winter. The kitchen is open though, so you end up interacting with the friendly staff. It's a bonus to see how clean they keep the kitchen.

Dropped in for the restaurant's soft opening and boy was I in for a surprise. Located in Budlong…read moreWoods, this gem just popped up to serve the community. As a former resident of budlong woods, an establishment like this is needed. This is exactly what the residents and new comers need. We arrived exactly at 7:00am, when they opened, and were greeted by the owner herself. Young and smart, the 21 year old woman opened her first restaurant and it's pretty large in size. I chose to go big and ordered the crab Benedict and my friend ordered a cup of original coffee (naturally made with cinnamon and brown sugar) and the Monte Cristo. First off, service is quick and the plates are large. The crab patties are made fresh with real crab meat and they're pretty decent in size. The English muffin bread was perfect in thickness and the eggs were poached perfectly. My only critique would be to do more seasoning in the potatoes. The monte Cristo was also filling. My friend said he was delicious but his only recommendation would've been no over easy eggs, he would've asked for fried hard instead. Definitely will be returning to this gem of a spot.
