This place is truly a hidden gem of Cincinnati. Best chicken shwarma I’ve had yet. I get mine with feta, and the feta is a delicious pillow of gooey goodness The Baba Ganouj is also out of this world, and their pita bread is so fluffy and perfect. Great Falafel also. Actually, now that I think of it, everything I’ve ever ordered from here has been delicious. You can’t go wrong with any of! The interior is also decorated beautifully. The vibe is welcoming and chill. I’ve eaten in and gotten food to go, and both experiences were positive throughout. Service is always fast and friendly.

This is one of the most underrated Cincinnati options, and of the best Middle Eastern eateries in the region. Cozy for dine-in or easy for take out. Everything is delicious, in particular I recommend the muhummara (by far the best I’ve ever had), chicken kabob, and the affordable tasty pita pocket sandwiches… but you can’t go wrong with any of the middle eastern classics. The owners are lovely people. This is place is well worth a visit!

Absolutely delicious, freshly made Syrian food. The hummus is hands down the best I’ve ever had. The homemade pita was also so good! I ate the chicken kabob and ordered a few sauces to try on the side. Definitely a must try!

Ordered through Uber eats. Charged $10 per salad and it looks like soup. Their Gyro’s tasted “uncooked”. Yikes!

On quick lunch break from hospital next door – picked up chicken kabob – gyro style for under 10 bucks. Super nice gentleman made my order while I waited – took just a few minutes to make. Very delicious. Great grill flavor!

Super tasty food!! The Syrian flatbread wrap was unbelievable – the crispiness of the outside of the wrap and excellent flavor makes it an excellent choice. My family and I each had our own beef shawerma wrap in addition to several plates to share. Also don’t miss the baklava – not too sweet, perfectly crispy and flavorful

I’m from NY and moved here from LA so have had my share of really good middle eastern food and this was fantastic! The labna and baba ghanouj were so flavorful and delicious as was the fatoush salad and chicken kebab sandwich. And the mint lemonade was the best I’ve ever had—super fresh tasting. Also super-friendly service. Highly recommend!

Nice hole in the wall. You can tell this food was made with hard work and experience. The cheese bread was warm, very soft, and filled with an awesome cheese-y garlicky goodness. The Kafta was the perfect texture and the wrap itself was balanced savory, salty, and tangy between the meat and pickles, and sauce. Afterward, I got to try Knafeh for the first time. While other versions I’ve seen had the red ghee base and were thinner, this was still magnificent. The phyllo shreds were a great crunch to the creamy custard filling and sweet syrup sauce. I could’ve eaten a whole tray. Also, I recommend parking around back, as the lot in front of the restaurant is very small.

Excellent food! Very kind and hospitable! We got there as they were closing because their times hadn’t been updated on Google yet. Offered us takeout option instead of refusing service. Will definitely be back!
