★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Lilly Hatmleh H. · Feb 2026

If there is less than a star rating then this place surly deserves it. I had my share of middle Eastern food to know when it is good and when it is bad. This place still cant make it ti bad!!! I gor some kunafeh, hareesa and baklava, just dessert that the owner just promised it is fresh. Got home tried a bite of each, they used old old oil, may be after the frying that oil becomes the for desert but it has a strong taste that made me throw up tge minute I bit on it. Horrible. Over charge is one thing but selling you this garbage is a different dimension of bad restaurants!

★★★★★ 5.0 Andrew Gechter · Mar 2026

Absolutely love this place - my favorite is the shish tawouk chicken wrap. The garlic paste is excellent. The owners are also extremely nice and I miss working by them. This is an Old Town staple and I hope to see it stick around in 10, 20, 50 years.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Rhiannon Wolfe · Oct 2025

They have vegan options which is great. I asked for the pita falafel and it was suggested I have the wrap. It was tasty but very small. I could definitely have eaten a second one but not for $10.

★★★★★ 5.0 Elizabeth Barrera · Jun 2025

I came here to celebrate my little sister’s graduation. The service was so warm and inviting. My kids and I absolutely loved the homemade apple juice. It was so delicious, it was worth the try. I really love this place!

★★★★★ 5.0 Felicitas Hernandez · Jan 2026

We had an amazing experience. The service was excellent, everyone was incredibly kind, and the food truly felt homemade. You can tell everything is made with care.
