EDIT: Unfortunately this place has lost its cozy family-run vibe, & the menu overhaul has resulted in far worse quality in food & general experience. Very sad as this used to be my go-to restaurant recommendation for the city, but every recent visit has been a disappointment.

Old review:
Just fantastic. Entered on a whim not knowing what to expect, & was blown away by the quality of every dish served. The staff were also very sweet & friendly. A must-try!

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!
