Nothing but a horrible experience at this place. The staff, including the owners were extremely rude, making us wait a long time for our food and being very dismissive when we asked for water. I also saw the owner yell at a customer who questioned her when she was waiting over an hour for her food. The atmosphere didn't exist, it is a hole in the wall with no indoor seating and extremely little outdoor seating, only chairs for three people. Most importantly (aside from yelling at customers), the food was disgusting. You can tell just by looking at it that it is completely inauthentic Middle Eastern food, which is not surprising considering the owners and all employees are not from the Middle East.

Their hummus tasted worse than Sabra, falafel was clearly not fresh, the chicken kabab had ZERO flavor or seasoning, and everything was ice cold.

Which is fine, because that’s an excuse to return multiple times and try as many flavor combinations as you can imagine. Eggplant seasoned to perfection and fried till crisp. Slightly spicy Moroccan carrots. Preserved lemons with jalapeño peppers. And, hummus whipped as light as a soufflé.
It helps that the service is nice, accommodating, and fast. A reassuring constant during tumultuous times. Thank you, boychicks. And, my apologies for not...
