Order the beautiful thing in the picture. It is called "lahmat almoza". Don't forget to try "the eggplant explosion" as an appetizer. All things served in this outstanding place is worth a try.

N ➰August 6, 2016The lamb looks great but the hamoor sayadiah is way better. Juices are good but too much with a meal and dont order afnan salad as its less than ordinary. Great vibe in here and the owner is lovely

Mo3athApril 29, 2016The decorations, seating variety and overall atmosphere are really what's make this restaurant standout. Chicken tagine is average. It's overpriced! And reservation is a must! My rating: 8 /10.
