The fries are deliciously overwhelming! The flavor is so good in the fries you can eat the leftovers at home, my first instinct was they could be crisper, irrelevant, the garlic top is worth it! The falafel salad bowl was FRESH. Check out those beautiful drinks!!! Yes, this is a small restaurant, you will love it!

The food is wonderful here! Probably one of the best middle eastern food I had in a long time – Tasty, full of textures, and a sight to feast too. The fried chicken sandwich + the muhamarra were particularly delicious. And the staff was very helpful. I just wished that the hours were longer for late lunch and dinner, so hopefully that gets extended in the future. In the meantime, I would go back here and bring friends and fam in a heartbeat

Very interesting Palestinian fare.. with excellent presentation of the brunch platter. Hummus, falafel, mahamara were all very flavorful.

I went here today for lunch, don’t let the size of the place fool you while small in physical size, this restaurant is big in heart and personality.

We were there yesterday, 2:30pm seating with nice weather to sit outside. When the 4 brunches were served, we were surprised to see them on a high tea plates. It made sense since the table was definitely not big enough without going 3D for all the food.

Great vibes, service is a little inattentive but the food surely makes up for it. The mezze plate is incredible, don’t miss out on it! The rose coffee is divine as well.

brunch will simply NEVER be the same. this was the most incredible brunch experience of my life, i cannot wait to take all my friends here, but at the same time I don’t want to because it is going to be come so freaking busy. this place is one of a kind. the best food, service, vibe that one could ask for. II am not usually the most dairy intolerant, and the food has a decent amount of cheese, but none of it made my stomach hurt because it was so fresh and clean (preservatives wise). I was so so so impressed. the staff was incredible, warm, and friendly. see pictures of food, no words needed. OUTSTANDING.

The food is pretty delicious! My personal favorite is the Turkish eggs. However, the service and attitude is what makes me not want to go back. On my wife’s birthday we had a reservation for late lunch and we were running a bit late (about 10min). We called to just let them know. Normally restaurants offer a little bit of flexibility if you’re running a bit late and inform them, but not here. We were told that the reservation would be cancelled if we’re 15 minutes late and we’d still be charged for it, with a lecture about policies and why they matter. We got there and were only about 8 minutes late and it was really not crowded or anything. Not sure why they couldn’t have at least tried to be flexible. I understand if they have another reservation later and need us to leave by a certain time, which they could’ve told us. Sometimes people run into unexpected traffic or something else and can be a bit late to lunch. Please don’t make a huge deal about that if at all possible.

Memorable, beautiful (those little flowers sprinkled on everything) and deliciously unique, Lulu’s is my new favorite brunch in the East Bay (also… huge portions!). My Mom took me here for my birthday brunch, and I was blown away.
