Coming from Detroit, I’ve spent my whole life around Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food both in restaurants and at my friend’s homes. The spicy hummus was flavorful instead of just packed with spices; well balanced with oil. Tikka Lamb was medium-well vs medium-rare like I get back home... but it was legit the most flavorful lamb I’ve had in years. PERFECT. If they could replicate that lamb every time? I’d choose it over my Detroit spots every time - and that says a lot. Baklava was 2nd best of my life too. I have no need to try any other Arabic food in Louisville while I’m here. The gentleman who rang me up was also very attentive and cleaned a table the moment a man got up from drinking some drink. Guy ate fries, had a drink, made no mess - but the restauranteur promptly cleaned the table AND chair. We need more places like...
Read moreThe restaurant needs proper graded equipment to handle an abundance of people in a timely manner as well as proper ventilation for smoke to exhausted. The place is very clean and sharp itself. I ordered the Shoah Tawook sandwich, the chicken is cooked well, I also like the lime in the sauce that is present. The wrap itself is hard and the vegetables were okay. I didn’t understand the garlic sauce on the side. There are other falafel restaurants in the area, I appreciate the competition, but it’s not enough to derive the crowd from the existing businesses. Worth trying and that’s it.

Read moreThe chicken Shawarma sandwich did not have chicken Shawarma, it was sliced chicken. The wrap was not pita, it was a tortilla. The pickles in the food came from a jar. The wrap was loose and haphazardly made and kept falling apart. Completely unenthusiastic preparation. No care was given to any of the food. For Mediterranean cuisine, the chicken was uninspired and bland. Additionally, hummus was ordered. It did not come with any Thing to dip it in. No pita, no chips, not even a tortilla which would be offensive to the taste, but at least they would have tried. However, this place did not care to even try. Such a shame at the harrowing decline in quality of this place. They used to be one of my favorite places. Now, I want to literally block them from my memory and erase any evidence that this restaurant...
