1 of the worst experience I’ve had maybe in my lifetime. Appetizers was good, drinks (shake & soft drinks) was decent, I don’t do hookah but my friend said it was ok, our food was absolutely HORRIBLE. She took 1 bite out of her food and couldn’t swallow it, I attempted to eat my salmon and chicken Alfredo and didn’t even stomach the salmon.. it tasted spoiled or something just really bad that I’ve never experienced. The alfredo sauce was a bit nasty and very blend.. worst of all, the chicken was very under cooked. The waitress didn’t even attempt to work with me on the bill. I offered to pay for just the hookah, drinks, appetizer, and tip, yet she refused to take the entrées off and didn’t even offer to have it recooked for a $150 bill.. remind you for food was nearly untouched, just barely the 1 fork size...

Horrible experience at this place. We asked for 4 turkish coffees received different, dirty, and cracked coffee cups. Asked for them to be replaced to two seperate servers, it took 20 minutes and when they returned they said that was all they had. Coffee was cold by that time. They served our other drinks in Styrofoam cups, and don't even have menus. What really ticked me off was when a local singer came on for the live music (Kareem something), he praised the murderer dictator Bashar AlAssad and the Syrian regime several times. Why would someone involve politics when you are there to have fun and escape the real world? If I wasn't there to see the singer who was coming after him, Tony Eid, I would have walked out. Save yourself the trouble and go some where else...
