Ambiance is beautiful, I wasn’t expecting it to have such a wonderful vibe inside and the food was delicious and service super attentive and polite. This is a rare gem. Restaurant is also very clean and inviting.

Generous portions of food. Smash the tomatoes in the rice for a phenomenal flavor medley! Hookah is always good with coals coming around periodically. Avoid Tangiers if ur new to smoking, it kicks like a mule even for a seasoned hookah smoker

The waitress was lovely and took good care of us! We will be back for the lunch specials a new go to restaurant in my city

The food is actually really good in this location. Nice outdoor(ish) space but the hookah prices have been jacked up. $30 for a regular with $19 for a refill which is insane. Unfortunately won’t be having that there.

We’ve been patrons for this location for some time. The main reasons we love the café is for their cleanliness, delicious food and excellent service. Everything from glasses, silverware, tables and plats are always clean which gives a peace of mind that the dishes are prepared with similar care. We’ve dined in and also ordered out on many occasions. Everyone from the servers to management are great. There’s convenient and immediate parking spaces on site and also additional parking on streets. Taha the manager is always improving the facility from parking lot to the interior of the restaurant and on top of everything associated with the operation. Pedro is one of the most professional servers around and it’s evident that he sets a good example for the team. Special thanks to Ray, Peter, Rola, Juan, Marielos, Anoush the cook and everyone else on staff for making our experience welcoming. If one is looking for great Mediterranean food, this is it.

The food was delicious and tasted fresh. The atmosphere is relaxing and the noise level is low. I didn’t feel rushed at all. Their timing is prompt and their attitude is warm. The hookah worked well and tasted pretty good and smooth. I will definitely come back.

Server not friendly. Club music too loud, side portions sparce. Beef and chicken shawerma were bone dry. Salad was good once I salted it. Thinnest and driest pirate bread ever.

Great food! It’s technically a closed-in terrace so there are people smoking hookahs, FYI. But the chicken kebabs are so tender… and I recommend subbing the sauteed spinach for rice or salad.
