The most authentic middle eastern restaurant I have ever experienced. The Tabule salad & the chicken dishes will knock your socks off

What a find! This place feels like eating at a friend's family dinner table: warm, welcoming, & genuinely home-cooked. We came with kids & never felt rushed or out of place. It's about as family-friendly as it gets.

We ordered a spread of dips. The baba ganoush & hummus were full of flavor, & paired perfectly with the pita bread, which is baked fresh in-house. The crispy chips disappeared in minutes. Don't skip the kibbeh, it's a must-try & clearly a house specialty according to my husband. The Syrian chicken was great & beautifully spiced, & the chana & spinach was very hearty.

Generous portions, great prices, & food made with real care. Its definitely a great find!

Food was a somewhere between mediocre & food. We ordered the cold appetizer combination for $20 & the Musakhan chicken dish. The appetizers were pretty good , not great & the chicken was mid. The service was pretty.slow. I might stop by if I was in the neighborhood but wouldn't fo out of my way.

Welcome surprise in downtown. Palestinian food from a majority female run establishment. Service was initially slow but food arrived promptly. Lentil soup delicious. Lemon chicken too. Other dishes so so. Not easy access with a pram.

I'd give this spots 6 stars if I could. My waitresses were attentive & always seemed to appear at the right time. I had the Syrien Chicken plate & everything was very fresh & flavorful. I forgot to mention sans gluten so the salad had fattoush & I had to skip it, but that was my fault. The lemonade peach slush really hit the spot after a long day of walking. Highly recommend!
