Customer Reviews

A small unassuming restaurant worth the buzz. The flavors are not only harmonious but a cut above the rest even through a neighborhood full of competition. Everything we had was cooked to order or made fresh, making the dine in dinner delicious. Please visit this spot for authentic Jordanian flavors and pleasant service.

This small place carries more than one story, and an authentic Arab flavor, but the original flavor comes from Palestine, which you will recognize through the dishes. The best way to start is with breakfast; the falafel is fresh, the aroma of the bread is irresistible, and the hummus and mutabbal are a story of their own. The service is excellent, and I highly recommend visiting this place.

I've been going here for years and it has never let me down. My usual is the falafel sandwich. Delicious falafel, wonderfully seasoned, a little sauce, and pickles, which are perfect! The guy behind the counter always has a friendly smile and the cook is usually cracking a joke. It feels like family works here.
