Amaaaaaazing food, wow. Hands down some of the best middle eastern food I've had. The bread was also super fresh, made in-house, & could be eaten on its own. The owners also came over with Turkish tea afterwards! Got the family platter which is great for 4-5 people & a solid price.

I usually don't do reviews but this place deserves it! The atmosphere is so welcoming & cozy, while the food is warm & comforting. The meats aren't dry, the falafel is one of the best I've ever had, & the bread is so soft & delicious.

The service is also amazing, they're really kind & charismatic! Especially Latif, you're awesome!

This place fed me a lot during my university year!
I highly recommend to others!!!

Had the lamb & the Adana. The lamb was alright, didn't really bring the flavour out enough. The Adana was well seasoned.
