“Tried their Lamb Haneeth and Chicken Mandi and wow both were absolutely delicious. Even though the place was super busy, Rana was incredibly helpful and so quick with everything. She really gave us the best service. Definitely worth the visit!”

“Wow, just wow! This place is delicious. I very often have ethnic food and this place is definitely on my current top 10 favorites! Good job, keep up making great food! Pictures were our dinner for two on a Saturday night.”
— A E★★★★★
“For three nights in a row we have eaten here. Quality of food is top notch. Kind wait staff and during Ramadan they offer an incredible buffet starting at 5pm. My wife doesn’t like spice but I do… perfect balance for both of us. The baba ganoush was the best I’ve had anywhere. We had tandoori chicken, tender and perfectly spiced. My shafout (please don’t miss this dish!) and lamb muqalqal was tender and so smooth. The lamb is cooked just right… That may be my new favorite dish? There is no weight and always a table available, but I just can’t get over how gentle And helpful the staff are to a new visitor. I wish I could give more than five stars! You won’t be disappointed.”
— David Plate★★★★★
