" My experience at Happy Time was a mix of highs and lows. The food was stunningly delicious—especially the kanafeh, which was so good I wanted to order a second! However, the wait for the food felt interminable, and the service, while friendly, could have been more attentive. I’m unsure if I’ll return, given the mixed experience, although the food does make a strong case for a return visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" The authenticity of Happy Time is truly remarkable! I have traveled through the Mediterranean region and found this restaurant to be a delightful taste of home. I indulged in a variety of dishes during my visit and was positively surprised. The service was quick and friendly while the owner was very personable, making the meal even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this place to any food lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" Happy Time never ceases to amaze me! Their service was quicker than expected, and the food was so packed with taste. The ambiance is inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual and special occasions. The only downside? I always want to try everything on the menu! Merely thinking about their kunafa makes my mouth water. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Happy Time stole my heart with their delicious food! I ordered a family platter, and it was more than enough to feed my group. The portions were generous and packed full of flavor. The staff was helpful and ensured we had everything we needed. It’s a happy place to enjoy a meal with friends or family, making it a must-visit for anyone craving Mediterranean! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first impression of Happy Time wasn’t great. I found the ordering process a bit strange, having to select items from a screen instead of a traditional menu. However, the food did not disappoint! I started with the hummus, which was smooth and packed with flavor, followed by an assortment of kebabs that reminded me of my travels to the Middle East. The service, while friendly, could have been quicker, as I felt the wait times were quite long for the food to arrive. Still, I would be willing to go back and try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Happy Time is a culinary gem! I specifically come here whenever I crave Mediterranean food. The service is usually fast, and the staff are all very polite. I had the lamb dish last time and it had an incredible depth of flavor that showcased authentic spices. My only minor complaint is that sometimes it can feel busy during dinner rushes, but the quality of food definitely makes it worth the wait. I'll be back very soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Happy Time has been my go-to for Mediterranean food ever since I tried it for the first time. The customer service is spot-on and the quality of their food is impeccable. I often order the meat combo plate, which is a filling and delicious choice. Each time I've visited, I leave satisfied. Plus, it's a great place to bring friends for a long, enjoyable meal together!
