We didn't have to wait long before the food was served. The chicken came off the bone so easily, and it was nicely seasoned as well. The dish came on a large bed of rice and a delicious lentil soup, along with dipping sauce. The price was pretty affordable given the size as well. The place was brightly lit and there was lots of space each time I went. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

The food is genuinely good and very tasty. I've always enjoyed the flavors, and that's what kept me…read morecoming back for a while. My main issue was the portion size of the meat and chicken. Considering the prices, I felt the amount you received was too small. I don't mind paying more for quality food, but when you're spending a decent amount of money, you expect a more reasonable portion of the main protein. The service was also hit-or-miss. Sometimes it was fine, and other times it left a lot to be desired. Between the inconsistent service and the small portions, we eventually stopped going there. I know I'm not the only one who felt this way, as I've heard similar complaints from others regarding the portion sizes. That said, I want to be fair and mention that I haven't ordered from them in the past two years, so things may have changed since my last visit. The food itself was always flavorful, and I hope they've addressed some of these concerns because the quality of the food was never the issue.

We were seated right away and the we were helped with choosing what dish to order. The restaurant is spacious with a lot of seatings. It is also clean and tidy. The lamb shank was very tender and fell off the bone. We enjoyed it though it's more on the plain side compared to some other similar dishes we have tried. The oven baked beef kofta with tahini was very flavourful, we were very pleased. Overall we had a good experience dining here.

What really impresses me is that they pay attention to special instructions, and somehow the food still arrives hot and fresh every time. That level of consistency is hard to find. Highly recommended!

They were also slow to refill the buffet (the kebab took at least 45 mins & the drinks got quite empty too) & they started packing up at 855pm, 5 mins before the official 9pm end. Nothing was labelled except coffee & tea so unless you know what you're eating you'll need to actively find out. Though it was $55, the only seafood items were fried fish (with quite soft flesh), grilled whole fish & odd deep fried shrimp (even less recognizable as shrimp than Japanese restaurant deep fried shrimp [ebi fry]). Most desserts were disappointing. Drinks included with the buffet were coffee, tea, tamarind water?, orange cordial & Vimto. There was live music, but half the tables were smoking shisha so the room got quite smoky after a while. It looks like they put sparklers on birthday cakes (or allow that anyway) which is fun.

The seasoning was nothing fancy but it was good lamb so the simplicity brought out the natural flavour of lamb. Unfortunately the bread got soggy because it was put underneath everything. The fries were dusted so they had a nice crunch. They were also slightly seasoned, giving them a hint of more complex flavour. The meat quzi (lamb shank) came with 2 types of flavoured rice. The shank itself was ok but there was no sauce for either the lamb or the rice so it was slightly dry overall. There was a lot of rice. The shank portion was OK. It was also served with baked beans - presumably the (Maraga) Yegi broth of the day. That was really weird since it was plain baked beans. Tanoor bread on the side was decent - it's just a long flatbread. Raisin juice (zabeeb) tasted like it sounds. The lentil soup was very plain. Otherwise it was ok. While waiting for my order I helped myself to the free hot tea (sweetened to taste), which was pretty good.

Most places had already shut down, but this one had its lights on, so I stopped by. They were minutes from closing, but the guy at the counter welcomed me in. I asked about Shawarma, but he said they were out--then promised to make something "better" that I hadn't tried before. Bold claim, but I was short on options and decided to roll with it. What he made was something he called Chicken Tawouk in a Saj wrap--juicy grilled chicken chunks off the skewer, tossed with sauces and fresh veggies, all wrapped in thin, soft Saj bread. It wasn't just the food, it was watching him assemble it--every step looked intentional and full of confidence. I took it to go, and by the first bite I knew I got lucky. The chicken was grilled just right--smoky, juicy, and full of flavour. The sauces weren't overdone, just the right amount to bind everything without masking the ingredients. It's the kind of wrap that you remember after it's done. I didn't expect a last-minute visit to turn into a food memory I'd actually want to come back for, but here we are. Next time, I'm eating in and trying more from the menu. Late-night gems like this are rare.

Marian then carefully went over the menu with us and answered any questions. In the end we ordered a mixed plate and hummos which is a must with any middle eastern meal... Lets start with the Hummos which was exceptional in taste and texture and presented in a beautiful earthenware dish it was decorated with a few chick peas and featured a pool of extremely good quality olive oil with a sprinkle of sumac here and there.... This is a simple dish but magic when its done right and this was perfect! On to the mixed plate.chicken kebab incredibly tender and beautifully spiced chicken shawarma which was tender yet had the odd crispy bit just as real shawarma should and beef kofta which was spiced nicely and cooked to perfection...the taboule was made fresh using great care and pita bread served warm and fresh.
