A new “homy” way of serving Arabic food (Palestinian). The place is noisy. The servant was focused on socializing with a girl from another shop. It was a bit too much chatting and loud The food was average at best. Mansaf was below average, the rice was too oily. The yogurt soup was too watery and made from instant package.

Read moreThe only middle eastern restaurant in all of Chicagoland where one gets to experience true home style Arabic/Middle Eastern food.
