So we came here because I was craving Fatayer (savory baked pastries). I remember going to a place, but I just can’t remember where it was. Anyway, I remember this bakery, so I thought of coming here. The man behind the cashier gave us an unwelcoming first impression. We kept being friendly and I think they dragged him into being nice. We ordered a few Fatayers and got some stuff from the market. It’s not cheap keep that in mind. As for the food we ordered (which took ages to prepare), I ordered the zaater labna Fatayer but I only got zaater. I had already gone to the car by the time I found out, so I didn’t want to go back and complain. It tasted good. Hubby has the meat pie. It was not an authentic Lebanese taste, but still okay. My son has the pizza (don’t order pizza)! The sauce is actually ketchup. No effort into it and not worth the money. The hummus was okay and so was the Kibbeh. The Tabouli could be better. It was not chopped finely and didn’t have bulgur which is a must in Tabouli. We might come back unless I find the hidden gem I’ve been...
Read moreKind of out of the way on Mill St. but probably not an issue for those "in the know". I got a box full of baklava for the office. It was great but i would have liked just a tad more honey sauce but that's just me. I also tried some sort of flakey creme pastry that was very good. Baklavas are $1.99 ea as was the pastry. There was a bag of mini-pizzas for $15 but i did not buy them. I could eat the whole bag in one sitting so that is more than i felt i wanted to spend for my lunch. They have a hot prepared foods menu anda pizza oven but no prices shown that i could see. I had to ask on all the pastries too. I hate having to ask and then going item by item until i find something affordable - it makes you feel cheap - even if you are. It obviously gets under the skin of folks having to tell you the prices too. So why not just show the prices? The retail store had an ok selection of canned goods but could use more. All in all it was good and i would tell people to go but i would not make a special trip. If you live locally...
Read moreThis review is about the dining experience (via Delivery) at this place. To be clear, this review is not targeting the bakery, bread or produce of this place but rather the prepared food. We ordered the chicken shawerma and beef shawerma wrap. Unfortunately, both sandwiches were one of the worst shawermas I have ever had. The pickle is placed in the sandwich as is without being cut. Tomatoes are cut in very big chunks in the sandwich. The chicken does not taste like shawerma but like basic chicken, very poorly seasoned and cut. While we insisted in the grubhub instructions that the sandwich should have no tomatoes, the order was still wrong. Meanwhile, the beef shawerma is even worse. The beef is very dry to the point you cannot even properly chew some of the pieces in the sandwich. To top it off, with this experience the sandwiches are overly priced. I was wishfully thinking that this place will offer an authentic and delicious dining experience in terms of Shawermas, but I am drastically...
