Popular 20~ seat restaurant offering great Middle Eastern food and fast service. Update January 31, 2024: got takeout. Still excellent and busy. The falafel was a bit too salty for me. On the positive side they not now sell tasty baba ghanoush. Visited for weekday lunch. The friendly two person staff was kept busy as customers slowly streamed in for takeout and eat-in dining. My falafel plate was excellent with a nice crunch that wasn't tooth-shatteringly hard. I prefer more garlic and tahini in my hummus but this was still good. Pita bread was fresh and nicely springly. Delicious "noba" coffee was brewed with milk instead of water and had cardamom and saffron mixed in. Baklava was rich and wasn't overly sweet. The decor was a little cluttered but the air didn't smell of oil despite the frequent frying of falafel. Recommended for anyone looking for Middle Eastern food or dessert.

Ordered a falafel wrap, spicy chai, and a baklava. This place has the best chai I've had in Japan, even compared to most Indian restaurants. It was authentic and flavourful, with a generous amount of cardamom. And I've tried chai at every place that offers it. The falafel was good, I opted for spicy, which seems like just extra chilli powder instead of a sauce. The baklava was not overly sweet, and larger than the ones I normally see in stores in the middle east. I can't testify to the food being exactly like what I ate in the middle east but it was good and I can't say I've had better amongst the Japanese outlets. Overall I appreciate the variety of middle eastern menu options while still being modified for Japan and the prices are really good. The owner and the waiter were extremely friendly and bilingual. The location is a bit away from the usual hotspots but well worth the trek.
