★★★★★ 5.0 Kimberli · Dec 2025

Great Palestinian restaurant! Dress conservatively. Visiting from ATL. We got the Mix Mashawi for 6 people, fried cauliflower, and the falafel platter with extra falafel on the side. Food was very light and clean. Atmosphere was impeccable. Service AMAZING. They have so many servers you hardly need anything before they're already there. Servings size is great. We had a lot of food leftover, enough for all of us to eat a good plate the next day for leftovers.

Asalam aleikum love from PANAMÁ 🇵🇦 I definitely recommend this restaurant..If you are looking for authentic Arabic flavors, this is it. The lamb was incredibly tender, and the babaganoush had that perfect smoky touch. Don't leave without trying the falafel and the tabbouleh they are so fresh! To top it off, their lemonade is the most refreshing drink I’ve had in a long time. (Like my tropical country panama🥰 we love lemon drinks) Btw..In our faith, we are taught that 'The best of people are those who are most beneficial to others', and the service here truly reflects that spirit. This isn't just a meal..it’s a blessing for the soul. May Allah (SWT) grant this business much barakah and prosperity. May you all be blessed with health and happiness. Gracias!

We went for dinner and ordered the mixed grill for two. The portions were generous, the meat was tender, and the chicken was juicy. Kebabs were excellent, and everything was cooked perfectly. Service was very quick, and the bread was freshly baked. The price was reasonable for two. We’ll definitely be back! Our server ali went above and beyond thank you

★★★★☆ 4.0 Syed Ashrafulla · Dec 2025

Families come here much like when I was a kid to eat good solid food at a reasonable price. I highly recommend the soujuk for its tart meatiness and the arayes for its sour note on a good bread. The pita is warm and fluffy too. From the mezze the labneh is good and the red pepper paste is extra delicious. I also like the Arabic salad. The meats are decent. I would say the kofta is a bit dry as is the beef shish. The chicken is moist though. The mint lemonade is great but the acid means you should drink slow. The service is excellent and you really feel the welcoming joy of making people full of food. The place has a good soul and either good enough food or in some cases great food.

★★★★★ 5.0 Aya Mansoor · Jan 2026

We were invited to this restaurant and tried a variety of appetizers and grilled dishes, and we were honestly blown away by how incredibly delicious everything was. The bread was fresh, and every plate that came to the table was even better than the one before it. The manager/owner was absolutely wonderful !!! He came by our table several times, was so kind, polite, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Hands down, some of the best grilled food ( Mashawy) I’ve had in my life. The restaurant is excellent with a lovely atmosphere. Just make sure to make a reservation in advance, especially on weekends, as the wait time can get very long and even extend outside.
