Hidden gem! 🇯🇴

Having lived in Jordan, I can honestly say this is the best Jordanian/Palestinian food I've had outside of Jordan. The quality of the food, attention to detail, beautiful décor, & the friendliness of the staff & owners all come together to make this place truly exceptional.

Everything was beyond excellent, & you can really feel the care & passion that goes into the food & the overall experience.

Highly recommend this place! I'll definitely be coming back.

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!
