Aqla street food medio-orientale — Restaurant in Rome

I have been living in Rome for almost a year now and I can confirm that this is my favorite place in the whole city. The variety of food allows for anybody with a small to large appetite to indulge in the wonders that Nada and Samantha dish up. From their sandwiches to their soups, everything is bite is packed with flavor. My favorite is the sandwich known as the Aya. As seen in the picture, no crumbs were left. It has been my go to and even though the rest of their menu is phenomenal (I have had the pleasure to try the majority of it), this easily takes the spotlight. However, one of the things I have failed to mention, is that the reason the food is met with such high praise is because it is a direct reflection of the way they (the staff) see the relationship of themselves with food. They pride themselves on quality and subsequently their food is the highest standard of it. This is furthered by the environment they put you in as Nada and Samantha make you feel welcome and at home when eating here. It is an incomparable experience and I would highly recommend...

I have been eating here for almost 4 months now. I have tried every thing on the menu. There isn’t a single bad item on the menu, it is ALL good! From the hot and and cold appetizers, to the sandwiches and rice dishes: The food here is an absolute must have. Additionally, the staff are genuinely wonderful. They are the kindest and most genuine people here in Rome. If you want something different from Roman food, or just really good comforting food in general, come here and enjoy delicious middle eastern food. Keep an open mind, you will not be disappointed. :))

P.S If Aqla is in the kitchen that day, the food will be extra good because it was...

Some of the best food and kindest service we had in Rome hands down. We went through half the menu and everything on it was exceptional middle eastern cooking, better than the dishes I had growing up (sorry mom). Every appetizer is fantastic but the muttabaq di verdure especially stands out, as do the Aya and Maher sandwiches. Also, the hot sauce is made in house and was good enough that we got some extra to take home We came in close to closing and Nada and her friend were delightful, we stayed an hour past closing just to chat and got some amazing advice about...
