If you love Arabic/Syrian food in budget,then you must give it a try The food was absolutely delicious! We tried the zataar, fattoosh falafel, and shawarma, and each dish was bursting with authentic flavors. I highly recommend trying their mixed grill platter; it was a real treat! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. They were knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. Service was prompt, and our server made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The restaurant had beautiful atmosphere with traditional Arabic decor. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience with delicious food, excellent service, and a warm ambience. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes!
