Some food items on the limited menus where not available. Meat dishes were not fresh. Cups for tea were not clean and we had to end the night when how unclean they were. Not a good experience. Will not return.

Food was not tasty at all. We ordered hummus and it was literally straight out of a can. No olive oil or paprika on top. Will never come back here again

Great food. Buffet causes the food to be slightly lower quality compared to the regular menu but still very tasty! And I can definitely appreciate the Ramadan Iftar buffet offering! Makes things a lot easier on those of us fasting!

Reserved for our anniversary dinner. Service was quick and food was delicious. The chicken kebabs were so tender and the kofta kebab was amazing. We had the appetizer sampler and everything was tasty. The restaurant had the perfect setting for our anniversary dinner. Decor was beautiful and there wasn't a lot of noise at the time we went. Really surprised that we'd never been here before but now that we know about it we'll def be back.

The only reason I did not leave one star is the food was good. The service is non existent, never once refilled our water or asked if we needed anything in the two hours we were there. There are two bathrooms for everyone to use, one was out of order, the other was filthy - I advised the hostess and her answer was, oh really, I have not been in there. We waited 45 minutes for hummus, baba ganush and salad. Our hot entrees were brought out 5 minutes later, forcing us to eat everything at the same time. Waited 30 minutes for the check and some to go containers. We will not be back.
