★★★★☆ 4.0 Rowshon Jahan · Feb 2026

Pretty cool spot to get some Jordanian/Palestinian food. The mixed grill was flavorful and the fish was flaky and not dry and the rice was really flavorful. Samosa was okay but not my favorite kind of samosa. Salad was fresh and refreshing and I really liked the pomegranate molasses they drizzled on top. Inside is very well put together and you’re somewhat partitioned off from other tables which gave the illusion of privacy while also being somewhat closing to other tables. Very pretty on the inside with lots of mood lighting. Service was okay and they bring out the food pretty quick after ordering.

★★★★★ 5.0 Vanesa Soto · Jan 2026

Absolutely loved this place! We were recommended by multiple friends. The food was incredibly flavorful and clearly made with care everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and authentic. The meats were tender, the portions generous, and the sides were just as memorable as the mains. The refreshing mint lemonade needs a special shout out!!!! The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and happy to explain dishes or make recommendations. You can really feel the pride they take in their food and hospitality. This is the kind of spot you come back to again and again—highly recommend for anyone craving comforting, delicious Middle Eastern cuisine. Edit: I woke up missing the food I ate last night. Even the water there is good. They have crunchy ice. 10/10, do

Shukran Jazeelan!! What a pleasant experience we had dining at this location. The food was very authentic and savory. The detailed presentation of the dishes and drinks did not go unnoticed. We will definitely return.

We got the Mixed Platter and the Beef Shawarma, and honestly? Fire. The mixed platter had a bit of everything — chicken, lamb, beef — all grilled perfectly. The meat was juicy, smoky, and seasoned just right, like someone’s uncle has been manning that grill for 20 years. The rice was buttery, the hummus was smooth and fresh, and the bread? Warm, fluffy, and made for scooping up every last bit. The beef shawarma deserves its own shoutout. It’s not the dry, over-spiced kind you get at random spots — this one’s tender, flavorful, and loaded with that perfect tangy-garlic kick. Every bite hit different. The staff were super chill and welcoming, the portions were huge (you’re definitely leaving with leftovers), and the place just gives that homey, family-owned energy. If you want real Palest

★★★★★ 5.0 Sergio D · Nov 2025

Beautifully cooked dishes, beautiful decor, and stellar service - what’s not to love? We were a group of 7 people there for a birthday dinner and we were all amazed not only by the delicious food, but also by the amazing service. We shared an appetizer sampler and an order of kibbeh, all of which tasted amazing and signaled that our main dishes were going to be a treat! We got the large kebab platter, intended for 6 people, and we were amazed by the generous amount of food, which included hummus, babaganoush, muthawama, salad, and a variety of meats. The meats were seasoned perfectly and cooked absolutely beautifully, a truly impressive feat! Of course, we couldn’t skip the mint lemonades, a sweet and refreshing touch to our delectable meal. For dessert, we split a large, ultra crispy kena
