I ordered the falafel and hummus, and I was impressed by the freshness of all the ingredients! Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious, authentic Mediterranean experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has such a homey feel. I loved the intimate setup and the decor. I ordered the veggie koshari, which had a beautiful mix of flavors—I could really taste the spices. The only downside for me was the limited selection of vegetarian options. Hopefully, they incorporate more of those in the future! " (*Curated Review*)

The waitstaff were super friendly and attentive, checking in on us just the right amount. The only downside was that it took a little longer than expected to get our food, but it was worth the wait. I’ll be back to try more items on the menu for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

The owner Ibrahim was exceptionally personable and made sure we had everything we needed. The warmth of the staff truly enhances the experience. " (*Curated Review*)
