TLDR: affordable prices with high quality food and very friendly service!! We came here at 11:00 for lunch and there was no wait. We ordered two coffees, an appetizer sampler, a Greek salad and two kebab plates for four people. The Turkish coffee was strong, the appetizer sampler came with pita bread and was very nice and the beef kebab came with some amazingly tasty and well cooked meat. For four people after tax and tip, it came out to $94 which is a steal in this day and age, only $23 per person! Highly recommended and great service as well

Wonderful Middle Eastern restaurant! Short jaunt down from West Portal Station- their falafels are amazing, and if you have trouble deciding what to get the combo appetizer is a great start!

The food was truly exceptional! The kofta offered a delightful blend of flavors and textures that were very unique. The shrimp kebobs were cooked to perfection, showcasing their natural sweetness and juiciness. I haven't had food this good in years! Try the dessrts, chocolate cake and baklava are amazing!!!

I’m always looking for a good falafel wrap in the city and this was definitely a winner. The pita was not thick but still soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The pickles were a sharp contrast to the falafel and tahini sauce. The pistachio rice had just the right amount of sweetness and my mom loved the flavors in the prawn appetizer.
