    Did carry out. Wonderful flavors and preparation. Baba Ganoush, Stuffed Grape Leaves and Chicken…read moreShish Kabab. Layers of flavors including Pomegranate Spice and Mint., Lemon and Smoked Eggplant. The Chicken was Unmistakable and Delicious. Served with a very delicious naan type bread and wonderful peppers tomato and onion, olive oil. The is a menu that must be parsed from top to bottom and I am looking forward to every morsel A word about dining in. Deena does not serve alcoholic beverages. However I believe that they will serve your drinks if you carry in . Call ahead and verify please. The dining room is elegant however. I believe one could expect a lovely experience here. Enjoy!

    It's a very hit or miss experience at Deema. The first time I came here, it hit on EVERY level. The…read moreservice, the seasoning, the quantity. But this time, it fell short in every aspect. So I hate to lead with the negative, because there is a lot of good to say about this place. When it's good, it's phenomenal. But when it's bad, it's near unbearable. Let me just say, our last experience here was pretty magical. It was busy, but the owner still came out to greet us and give us his guidance on the menu. I had the Iskender Kebab, my partner had the Wrap plate, and we enjoyed some divine Dubai chocolate cheesecake, per recommendation of the owner. There was live music, we learned we could BYOB(!), and the service and food were outstanding. This time around, there were only about 6 tables full, including us, in the large dining area. We ordered the oven baked hummus to start. It didn't come out for 55 MINUTES. Not until AFTER our entrees arrived. After we did order the main dishes, I asked her about the hummus, and the look on her face told me she had completely forgotten it. Whatever, we're just human. The hummus itself was quite good, although the "pitas" for dipping were very papery and bland. I thought the pita last time was much more substantial, but I could be wrong. We eventually tried to order some more of the pitas but our waitress was nowhere to be found. Every time we got a hold of her, she would then disappear for around 10-15 minutes. The only person around was the woman filling our waters, so most of our questions and orders went through her. We asked her for more pita, and she said she'd put that in right away. I had a feeling she didn't understand, so when our waitress came back 10 mins later I double checked, and she said they put another hummus in the oven! I can't complain about a language barrier, but whew am I glad we didn't have to wait another hour for hummus! For the entree I had the Sac Kavurma, which visually is just stunning, like most dishes here. But flavor-wise, it was completely lacking in any seasoning or salt to make it feel like more than just calories. And so I asked the waitress for some sides of garlic sauce when I could flag her down. I saw her pass by me 3 times in the next 10 minutes and finally asked if she was bringing them, but she had forgotten. One time is meh, two times is annoying. Post-garlic sauce, the dish was a little better, but that chicken was still chewy and flavorless. My partner's Tantuni Wrap Plate was equally lacking in spice or salt, and given that she had the same thing last time, she could confirm that this time was such a huge let down in comparison. We overheard the table next to us having the same point of view, what with the food lacking in flavor entirely versus their last visit, including vegetables that were soggy and meats that had no seasoning. They also experienced the language barrier in trying to split their bill, as their waitress misunderstood their request and put everything except the appetizer on one bill. They were workshopping it for about 5 minutes, but I assume they eventually figured it out. I can definitely understand a difficulty in interpreting a different language, but as someone whose job it is to take orders and work with the person dining in, it was really unprofessional that so many things were forgotten about, misunderstood, or ignored throughout our experience. I can appreciate when the quality of food makes up for the shortcomings in service, but this time around our meals fell flat. I would give Deema 5 stars based on our last experience, and 2 stars based on this one, so I'll leave it at a solid 3.

    Cosmos (Lima Road) - for breakfast or lunch only…read more Nice neighborhood restaurant with a LARGE breakfast and lunch value priced menu. The food is simple, consistent and delicious. The team is always friendly and hustles to serve. The facility is large and can accommodate 8-12 people parties fair well. Don't get alarmed at the wait. Tables turn FAST! The parking lot is a bit small for the number of dinners. Park across the street if needed.

    Cool place for bunch. It's very spacious inside, nice high ceilings, and it's a fun atmosphere. Do…read morewatch out for condensation from the ceiling vents. At around 1:45pm on a Sunday, our waitress told us that they ran out of milk. So no chocolate milk, and no milk for a milkshake. I was trying to order a blueberry milkshake, since I've never seen that on a menu. So interesting how a cappuccino is made of milk and there's still milk for that? Cappuccino - $3.29 - Tastes like chocolate milk with a hint of espresso. It's good and very sweet, but definitely not a real cappuccino. I wouldn't order it again, but it was still decent. 3/5 stars. Everything Skillet - $12.99 - This was the best dish. Everything cooked to perfection. Nothing was watery or tasteless. Whomever is cooking the skillets, A+ to you. 5/5 stars. Country Fried Steak - $11.99 - The breaded steak was delicious. You have a choice of chicken or steak, and I always go steak, but I'll probably try the chicken next time. The taste was fantastic, probably one of the best country fried steaks I've tried, and I've tried a lot of them. 5/5 stars for the country fried steak. But, everything else needs work. The potatoes were bland and kind of average by itself. I asked for over medium eggs. They came out as runny as could possibly be. Some parts of it I'm not even sure the whites were totally cooked either. The food runner had told us that they were waiting on the raisin bread. So I thought she'd eventually bring out my bread, but I was wrong. About 10 minutes go by, and half my meal is done before our waitress comes and asks our how our food is. That's when we told her about the eggs and the missing raisin bread. We asked for the eggs to be recooked, so they did, and then gave me more over easy eggs. So, I gave up on the eggs. The raisin bread was fine, it's the one you can buy at the grocery store. I'd skip this and get a biscuit next time. What a rollercoaster of a meal. Such a high for the country fried steak, and then a let down when you realize that rollercoaster is a kiddy coaster and the exciting drop was actually a small hump. Save yourself the hell and get fruit and scrambled eggs. 1/5 stars for the sides. I'll try this place again, but good grief, communication is rough. Our waitress asked us what we meant by over medium eggs. Basically, our yolks need to be somewhat cooked. The yolk shouldn't be a pool on the plate. It should look more like a sauce. I'd rather it have been overcooked than over easy. So if she didn't know what over medium meant, I guess the cooks don't either? I don't know anymore. I also don't know if they actually ran out of milk. I can't fathom why someone couldn't just run to Aldi or Walmart next door and get a gallon to make it through the day.
