What People Are Saying

from Google & Yelp

"this place is CASH ONLY!!! food came out maybe less than five minutes after i ordered which already impressed me. i ordered the spicy sausage shakshuka and a hot chocolate, both of which didn’t disappoint. sausage wasn’t really too spicy at all! all of the staff are super nice and attentive, and the walls are filled with pretty photographs of people and people’s writing."

★★★★★

"Came here for brunch and waited about 30 minutes for a table, which already set expectations pretty high. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite live up to the hype. The pistachio baklava pancakes were the clear standout—unique, well-executed, and genuinely delicious. Definitely the dish I’d recommend if you do come here. The za’atar egg bowl was just okay and could have benefited from more sauce and seasoning, and the shakshuka was fine but nothing memorable—I’ve had better elsewhere. Service was also lacking. We asked for coffee multiple times and never received it; it felt like the staff was overwhelmed and inattentive, which took away from the experience. Overall, the food is decent, with one excellent dish, but between the long wait times, lines, and subpar service, it’s hard to say it’s worth the effort. Probably not a spot I’d wait in line for again."

★★★

"Ordered the steak and eggs that also came with some veggies which was a plus. The baklava pancakes had the perfect amount of butter and sweetness that melted in my mouth with a dash of crunch. Definitely a must have!"

★★★★★

"Not the typical brunch place were you can cook that at home. Unique menu especially the Baklava Pancakes, they definitely one of the best pancakes I had in any brunch place. A bit loud but you can still talk, line is usually long but moves quickly. Be ready to eat and leave otherwise staff kindly will remind you there's people waiting outside (and that's OK). Also bring cash, is cash only (which I usually don't carry). I would visit again for sure to taste other stuff on the menu."

★★★★

"It was a really unique experience. The food was great, had a lot of middle eastern touch to the dishes. The place is run by a family and they are very sweet, recommend and explain the bestsellers to you. The service was quick and clean. The ambience was different. Very open kitchen, little noisy. But overall great dining experience!"

★★★★

"The food here is good which is why I have it 3 stars. Not clean - dried salad leaves on the floor, empty water bottles and trash under the sofas Small..."
