★★★★★ 5.0 Jenya Wooten · Feb 2026

Well balanced dishes. The moujodreah, a green lentils and rice dish, was superb. He adjusted the heat level based on preference, and used a side of tzatziki as a palate balancing element. The baklava is outstanding. I'm used to most baklava being overwhelmingly sweet, but his balance of honey, nuts, and filo are so well done that every element is noticeable and isn't overpowered by another. The baklava with chocolate is done in such a way that the added element melds in perfectly. You can tell that he has been making this dish, and perfecting it, for a very long time. The conversation, should you choose to talk with him, is pleasant, kind-hearted, and thought-provoking without causing any discomfort. I absolutely recommend eating here.

The food were so good!! I couldn’t take pictures of other food that my husband ordered (because he couldn’t wait to try lol) but they were delicious too! We ordered grape leaves, lamb kabab with rice, samosa and Jordanian Mansaf. We will definitely go back 😋

Very gracious and kind people serving our meal. The food was excellent. My curry had lots of big soft chunks of lamb. The lamb kabob flavors were very good. The portions, amount of food given, were perfect. Thank you.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. I started with a rich, flavorful tomato soup that had the perfect balance of spices. For the main course, I tried the grilled chicken kebabs, which were perfectly cooked and juicy. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we were comfortable without being overbearing. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great spot for a relaxing meal.
