I really was pleasantly surprised with the food here. The 4 dishes totalled 55 dollars which I thought was quite reasonable. I ordered the spinach sambousik, lamb mansaf, large fattoush and chicken tawook roll. Flavour wise everything was really tasty. The spinach sambousik were nice and hot with a generous amount of filling (reminded me of my mums), the salad was freshly dressed and crunchy with crisp vegetables, the lamb mansaf was really wholesome with nice and tender lamb peices and finally the tawook roll was packed full of chicken and coleslaw with a nice balance of flavours and well toasted without being too garlicy. Would highly recommend to anyone locally. I don't think you can get food at this price for this quality anywhere nearby so give it a go. I probably wouldn't eat in though as it does get a little loud around dinner time. Take out is...

The Falafel Sandwich Wraps are actually very popular here, with the store remaining...
