CASA DONER — Restaurant in Bentonville

My husband and I were very excited to try this restaurant as we were still in search of another location serving middle eastern dishes that taste like home for my partner. First, three tables were occupied when we walked in at 5:45pm on a Friday evening and there was only a single server present who ended up being the best part of our expirence. We vocalized that this was our first impression and decided to sit down since they all needed some time to catch up on food of a table of 8. The other tables had two people per table. As we browsed on the Instagram page we waited until the kitchen 'caught up' which was 29 minutes after arrival at 6:14pm. The food for the other tables hadn't yet come out at that point and not for about another 15 or 20 minutes when are food was done after their dishes came out at two separate intervals. My husband and I ordered Beef Doner, Iskander Kebob, and Knafeh. Our total was

Unfortunately, my friends and I had a very disgusting experience at this restaurant. We decided to try this establishment during lunch. We each ordered our food. Three out the four of us received our food timely. The friend that was still waiting on his food only ordered a wrap as it appeared on the overhead menu, with no changes or substitutions. After waiting for several minutes, our friend insisted we move forward with eating as the waitress said his order was coming up. Over a thirty-minute period we finished our lunch, and the waitress kept reassuring us that his order was coming up. Finally, one of our friends walked up to the counter to find out what the delay was, and just told them to place meal in a to-go-box when it was ready. Shortly after, the owner walked out of the kitchen, slammed his boxed food in front of him with two five-dollar bills (which didn’t even cover the cost of the meal), gave us a very disgruntled look, and walked away without an apology or even an explanation as to why he had to wait approximately 45 minutes for a meal. This man clearly has temperament problems and lacks any amount of professionalism. The waitress even apologized for his behavior and confirmed he indeed was the owner. Sadly, the food is good, but not worth giving a man money with the temperament of a grown child. My family and I will not be returning to this restaurant, nor do I recommend...

I went to lunch with my daughter yesterday and everything was great. I tried their daily special "mujadara" which is a lentil dish that is well known in the middle east and which I grew up eating myself. I was surprised to find it being sold in a restaurant in NWA but apparently the owner is middle eastern and wants to share all of her favorite mediterranean gems. She definitely seems to know what she's doing with the new menu she is creating! I really could not recommend this dish enough! I also had the hummus with pita, which was some of the best I've had, as well as the tabouli salad.

I also bought some of the baklava boxes they sell, and it was really delicious. It tastes fresh and not too sweet. I can't wait for the holidays so that I can stock up for guests! They make perfect holiday gifts as well, I already know what I'm gifting this year. Stock is apparently limited so I might be shooting myself in the foot by posting this...oh well, I'll consider it my good deed of the...
