The sweetest staff ever with the best food! They give u a complimentary shot of lentil soup to start & a little cup of tea at the end of your meal with rose water to clean your hands. They are so sweet & make you feel so welcome. I would recommend this to everyone!!

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.
