The atmosphere is great and the staff is superb! She lent me a book Our Syria Recipes from Home. The content is beautiful and sad at the same time. I had a mixed feeling after skimming it.

Wanted a light dinner and went with the spinach lentil soup. For $5, it was plentiful and so worth it with the pita being warm and comforting. Picking up my order I went happy as the lady smiled handing me my bag as well as giving me extra cutlery. Super nice people and good food as well!

The food here is very good! They did a fantastic job of grilling. The grilled chicken and baba gunooji both have wonderful grill flavor but are not burned. I wish I have the stomach to try every dish. So good!

Comparable but not as good as the food I’m used to having in the UAE, but that’s just my personal experience. But the staff are nice and helpful and the ambiance is gentle, soft, and warm, less like some of the restaurants that mainly target hangry college students around here. Their meat dishes aren’t Halal, just fyi.

Recently renovated and has a cute new interior. Our food was delicious especially the hummus. Everything seems more authentic than other middle eastern restaurants in Pittsburgh. I definitely want to go back and try more from their menu. The employees/owner were also very friendly.

More like 4.5 stars. Service was a bit slow but attentive. Good food, we ordered multiple sandwiches, some were good, some under spiced. Would definitely recommend.
