This is a hidden downtown for delicious food. I thoroughly enjoyed this small family operated restaurant. Their food was . We ordered:

The food was amazing and really affordable. The $6 lentil soup was so great (although it tasted like it could be made with chicken broth so if you’re vegetarian you might want to ask about that) and the $12 combination platter was really well done, fresh and delicious. Cute place

A really great option for halal food in downtown Cincinnati. The artwork on walls is pretty good which makes the ambience 10/10.

Terrible terrible service. We were not offered drinks in the beginning. The woman (not sure of her role) was shouting about the menu from afar, until I told her I could not hear her. She leisurely came to us to explain some items on the menu. The waiter had no clue. The food was out of this world delicious. Not one time they came to us to ask if everything was ok. We had to go to them to ask for the check even through it was obvious we had been done with the food for a while. The waiter just told my BF how much we owed, and my BF had to ask for the check that showed what we actually ordered I and explained the expenses

Really tasty…….But prices online (on their site) are 4-6 dollars cheaper than what they actual charge (so just be aware). And portions are pretty small (lamb “platter” was $20 and barely filled up a to go Styrofoam container).

The owner really gets to know her patrons. She’s very sweet. This place is a staple downtown. She had very good portions and the food is delicious!

Amazing food and great ambiance. We had the gyro platter and chicken kabob. So good. To top it off, the Lebanese music at the restaurant added a nice touch. Will definitely come back soon.

Let me preface this by saying this is the first google review I’ve ever left. I really really wanted to like this place. The reviews and pictures looked good & the prices seemed awesome. Unfortunately the experience was pretty horrible and I don’t think I’ll be back. We ordered a gyro wrap, a falafel wrap, and a greek salad to go. Upon getting home we realized that they had given us a bag with 3 loose falafels, the wimpiest gyro wrap you’ve ever seen, and a styrofoam box full of nothing but lettuce and olives covered in dressing. When I initially paid $20 for my order it seemed like a steal; unfortunately now I just feel swindled and still hungry. Bummer.

Delicious and authentic food in a calm, gentle atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly – we had a long conversation with the owner, making it feel like we were guests visiting in their home!

Weird vibe. The food was good, but when we got there the place was filled with 2 cops and a women in the back that was pretty spread out. There was no music and pretty quiet. Everyone was whispering and it felt weird. I got the mixed platter with lamb and chicken. Both were very well seasoned and paired well with the tzatziki sauce and rice. The lettuce, tomatoes, and olives were an interesting side dish, but it was good overall. The server gave off a stern vibe and I felt like I was guilty of something when paying. Just a different vibe here. I might have just gone on a bad day though, so give it a chance.
