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.

Balqees is a…read morelittle hole in the wall restaurant in the back of (not the nicest) shopping complex but don't let that deter you. 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.

The lamb was cooked to perfection -- tender, juicy, and packed with flavor -- and every single bite tasted incredibly fresh. The pickled veggies had the perfect tang, the salad was crisp and bright, and the sauces... wow. Impeccable. Balanced, bold, and clearly made with care. This is the kind of meal where you immediately start planning your next visit before you've even finished your plate. If you care about real, fresh ingredients and perfectly cooked meat, this place is a must.

If you haven't tried it place an order tonight.

We ordered the Miss Mary's Salad, Garlic Bread, one dozen Toasted Raviolis, and Ricotta Stuffed Shells. We were quite pleased with our meal. The salad even had delicious gorgonzola cheese sprinkled throughout it. The dipping sauce with the Raviolis was spot on. The Ricotta Stuffed Shells were perfectly balanced and creamy. We ordered the family sized dinner, so we'll have delicious leftovers for a few days. Service was incredibly quick, but we put in our order about an hour prior to the traditional dinner rush. A solid four stars. We plan on returning again to try other menu offerings!
