Service was so so, but chicken over rice was delicious, it is kind of mix Mediterranean food, with hummus, samosa and. I do like their platter, but tables are too close to each other, and outside seemed nice.

I’ve been wanting to go here for years. Upon arrival I was a little disappointed. I was expecting a little more. The place was tiny and a bit run down. The one bathroom was like a utility closet. The materials on the chairs were falling apart and extremely hard. The staff were helpful and attentive. However our food never came after being in the restaurant for over 30 minutes. I asked if I could take the food to go and was told they hadn’t even started my food. I would be willing to give this place a try for take out/delivery, but I would not dine in.

Just left this place because of a label in the food and terrible service from the manager who wasn’t concerned about the food they served being contaminated. Will add more information later.

We called 15 minutes before closing & the owner said no worries, come we’ll wait for you. Food was really good. Lebanese chicken was seasoned really well. Mashed potatoes were good. Green beans were good. Everything was good man. Good establishment. Owner was cool. Keep it up!

I was so shocked by how good the food was! They serve until 11pm, I was honestly not expecting delicious food when I arrived, just something edible and honestly I think this is some of the best food in the area. I do think that the music inside could be quieter and the EQ needs a bit of work but we sat outside which was lovely.

Went for brunch. There are lots of similar options nearby. The restaurant was pretty much near capacity and they had three servers. Thankfully it’s a small place so the food when it eventually came was to temperature, of decent proportions and tasty.

I didn’t realize how many great Mediterranean options there are in Cedar Park, and to my delight Aksum is another great spot. It is a very tight restaurant with a very hipster vibe I must say. I ordered the Moroccan Chicken & Waffles for a birthday brunch and the food did not disappoint. The chicken was very hot and juicy, and the waffles had a great crunch. I was a bit sad however when they served me chicken breast tenders, and not fried chicken with bone-in. Overall, it is a very friendly place that is great for brunch.
