One of the best meal we have had in California so far. We are traveling here and had lots of good meals but this place tops it. We ordered the lunch set menu, lentil soup, and greek salad. Very tasty, clean after-taste, filling, healthy and the food display was meticulously done. The chef (Sam) was extremely kind. Lots of the ingredients are home made. Would come again, and would recommend to everyone.

OMG! My new fav Middle Eastern spot. It felt like food my mom or grandma made The other Arab restaurants I love have been open a long time so unfortunately the quality & freshness is no longer there sometimes. This place makes everything in house & is family owned. They all personally introduced themselves to us and made us feel special. Their baklava is the best one I’ve had from a restaurant.

We had a delicious meal! We eat Mediterranean food regularly and it is the best we have had in a very long time. My photos are probably not doing it much justice! The presentation was good and the price very reasonable.

Food was amazing and the service was great! Definitely going back! Our server, Sam, was beyond nice and caring. We got the lamb chops dish which was mouthwatering. Their Falafel and veggies Sambousek were also super delicious. Highly recommend.

They mixed up my order. I was supposed to get Tabbouleh Salad and Combo kebab with steamed vegetables. Instead they gave me Greek salad and included rice with my order with no steamed vegetables.

It’s a good sign when some of the customers speak the same language as the staff. That often means the food is authentic.

Please come in and see the chef Fred. These guys are proud of their culture and you can taste it in the food. My family and I stopped by for a falafel plate and the chef was so kind to make our plate custom to our order. Relationships Like this is why being I love going to new restaurants.

I absolutely love this place. My Ma and I were walking around the place looking for something to each when the owner spotted us eyeing the menu and invited us in. He recommended all these incredible dishes to us, but didn’t pressure us at all to stay if we didn’t want to. I got a Mansaf and my Ma got soup rice thing I can’t remember the name of but hot dang were good!
