I have always loved the food here, came back many times. Only complaint is it’s quite expensive for the small portion of meat but I can understand for it
This hidden gem serves some of the most delicious Mediterranian-style cuisine I have ever had. My SO and I split a Halloumi cheese appetizer, which was recommended by the chef/owner Aysar. The presentation and the taste were top-notch. Next, I ordered the mixed grill for 1, which came with 3 different kabobs (chicken, lamb, and kafta ground beef), a generous portion of rice, a roasted tomato and a small side salad. The food was delicious and the portions were huge. The service staff are all incredibly kind and helpful. The menu accommodates dietary restrictions and has plenty of options for vegetarians and those with dairy and gluten intolerances. Chef/owner Aysar is a kind man who successfully ensures that patrons leave with their bellies full and a smile on their face. Overall, my SO and I had an incredible experience here and for anyone that is looking for a new place to try out, look no further. We will be back to here again soon
Food was excellent! Visited with the family and everyone (including someone in our party with dairy and nut allergies) ate their fill! This is a true gem in the community! The facility was beautiful as well...men's room was modern and clean...usually a strong indicator of cleanliness in my opinion!
Beautiful spot, it’s always clean and aesthetically pleasing. The staff has always been very welcoming and kind. Food is great quality and tastes delicious. Honestly just great things all over. I love to come by and study or just chill. One of my go to places to invite friends, host dinners and parties, and study/work. Their tea and mint lemonade (in the picture) are amazing and I’m in love with the chicken shawarma. If you’re looking for Middle Eastern/arab cuisine this is your spot!
I couldn’t wait to review this little gem of a restaurant. This has been the best Mediterranean food I’ve had in this area. We will definitely be regulars here. It was such a treat. All so nicely seasoned, fresh and yummy. The service was terrific. From bringing us hot tea with mint leaves to adding an exquisite Tabouleh salad to our dish. Everything was so yummy we missed taking pictures. Only have these two of partially eaten plates. We ordered the Babaganoush and it was addictive plus the soft fresh pita bread was amazing. The fried cauliflower is a must. I loved their garlic sauce too. We also had the lentil cream soup and the Beef skewers. All Delicious! We can’t wait to return to try more dishes and I can’t recommend them enough. It’s a casual setting but you’ll eat like kings.
The service was truly outstanding—friendly, attentive, and quick without ever feeling rushed. The staff made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. And the food… WOW. The chicken kebab was absolutely amazing—perfectly seasoned, juicy, and grilled to perfection. Every bite was full of flavor, and you can tell they use fresh, quality ingredients.
Best middle eastern food we have had in south Florida!! The falafel was extremely fresh and flavorful unlike other restaurants that serve frozen (you can always tell) the hummus was thick and creamy. The shawarmas were so flavorful and made with quality meat. We ordered a lot and everything was good. Shout out to the owner for the warm hospitality and great menu! We will be returning
This Mediterranean restaurant exceeded my expectations. The food is incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. What really sets this place apart is the staff, they’re some of the friendliest, most welcoming people I’ve ever encountered. The atmosphere is warm, the service is excellent, and the entire experience feels authentic and inviting. Highly recommend!
