User Reviews

The food was delicious, and the waiters are friendly, making sure you have everything you need. I'm not disappointed to drive that long distance to enjoy that buffet.

I ordered the chicken biryani and the vegetarian sampler plate to split with a friend. the portions were huge. the chicken biryani was okay - the chicken was super dry but the rice was pretty good. the vegetarian sampler was nice, I liked the falafel best, followed by the stuffed grape leaves. our waitress was nice.

I go here a lot! My friends are all vegan & I am mostly plant-based but also high-protein. We all love the food & service.

The food is an easy 5 stars, fantastic authentic flavors at a good price. I got the combo platter and Turkish coffee. Both were absolutely phenomenal! The combo platter also came with lentil soup which was well seasoned and hot. I especially enjoyed the Turkish coffee which was extremely dense but smooth. The falafel was the best I’ve ever had. Crunchy exterior with a moist filling, which is different from other falafel I’ve had which is usually dry in the middle. Free pita and hummus as well which was very good. Service was great and my waitress was very attentive. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the ridiculous number of fruit flies I had to fight off during my meal. I understand that bugs are unavoidable at any restaurant, but it has gotten out of hand. I would absolutely come back for the food, but consider carry out to avoid the unwanted guests.

On Sundays they have buffet it is perfect like in Istanbul 👍🏽3 buffet, 3 shawarma wrap only paid $100 with tip. 6 person ate too much.

would love to see a remodel and expanded parking lot but the ppl are friendly and I even met the chef. best food ever. not one place in the area can touch em

The lamb kebabs are amazing! Pita is always fresh and delicious! Beautiful artwork on the walls as well!

The Muhammara was absolutely amazing. Everything was well made, looked like the photos, and was clearly made with care. All the dishes were fantastic we went back the following morning to get more as we left town. The attached market threw me a bit at first but I found somethings I wanted as we waited for our carry out order. Vegan options were great. Highly recommend.
