My friend and I decided to stop by this afternoon for an impromptu lunch when we finished a job nearby. I had it saved on Yelp to try and so we did. The first thing we noticed were all the healthy plants and can only imagine how gorgeous it will be once the summer annuals are in bloom. Even the artificial plants were clean and shiny and not a spot of dust. The fountain in the center of the restaurant was beautiful as were all the tiles and pillows. The owner came out to greet us and she was so welcoming. I had the Ahsh soup. It was amazing. So much healthy flavor and goodness. Then I had the Vegetarian Delight entree and my friend had the Greek salad top with gyro. She was moaning the entire meal I felt like I was in the diner scene from When Harry Met Sally. She thought it was absolutely delicious!!! We will definitely be back. This is 00% my kind of food

Located in a shopping plaza, the interior is beautifully designed! Service is amazing & friendly. Food - there's varieties of options here for everyone! I ordered the Kubideh Kabob and Lamb Biryani. The Biryani was seasons really well & the lamb was very tender. For the Kubideh Kabob I ordered their special rice with the dish & enjoyed the it! I do wish the kubideh was seasoned a little bit more was I thought it didn't have much flavor but it was paired with the tzatziki sauce it helped. Along with the meal, we also got bread which was crispy & standard bread but greatly appreciated :) we also go to try a special tasting if the pomegranate wine and oh wow that was delicious! I'm usually not a wine person but I really enjoyed it!!! Parking is outside in a shared lot. I saw they offer afternoon tea which I would love to come back & try one day! Dinner is booked quick so I recommend a reservation if all possible.

The fountain and couches with lots of small pillows made this place comfortable. The lady who served my table was very kind and informative! I loved the flavor of the saffron tea, the barg and koodibeh kabobs were perfectly cooked and the Kabuli rice was tasty! I will be back with the family soon!

We usually get mahicha pulao, along with chicken karahi. Their service and food is great. I also like the interior design of the restaurant.

Lush decor (fluffy pillows!) and good Mediterranean food! We enjoyed the meat dumplings, and my wife dug the falafel (she said they were more crispy than normal, but good). A nice Israeli salad. Lovely chicken kabobs (the salmon was good, but can't hold a candle to the succulent chicken). Everyone else liked the Turkish baklava--too much honey.for my tastes but good for everyone else.

Truly my favorite happy place over the years starting back from 2018. I love listening to the fountain as we eat leaning against jewel toned pillows...the colored tiles throwing soft light everywhere....sipping hibiscus or cinnmon tea from pretty china cup complete with little sugar cubes in a glass dish. This is what self care and indulgence feels like. Ida the current owner is what really makes this place shine. She is so very sweet and kind and puts so much love and passion into the cooking and the place that I feel like I come here to have a home cooked meal. The rest of the staff there are wonderful and love her and the place so the energy there is amazing as well. The food and spices are very fresh from market to table and I've never experienced getting sick after eating there which is rare anywhere since my body reacts to both chemicals and processing in foods. The food there has a wonderful kind of balance and symmetry on my palate...never too heavy and very light with just the right amount of spices scaled to your preference if you make the request and always cooked very well so that it is moist and flavorful. We've had a wide variety of dishes and have enjoyed every single one of them. There isn't enough space to write down what we love about all the food and tea...other than to say it's always an amazing culinary experience...allowing us a glimpse into the variety of cultures and dishes from her homeland and into Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine.

Food was very good. Kofta was as good as it gets with the flavors. Lentil soup was fine but no bread or crackers were served with it. Saffron ice cream was very frozen (like a block) with ok flavor. I recommend letting it soften and be a bit more creamy and sweeter. I recommend bread and butter with the soup. I recommend iced hibiscus tea in lieu of hot. Please do not change anything about kofta. I would go again just for kofta. My friend liked his lamb meal.

Cute little spot. Tried it for the first time and the service was friendly. Enjoyed the appetizers the most. Everything else was good/okay. Interior was unique compared to other spots, we enjoyed the half circle booths with pillows. Perfect for some tea time. :) (Which we didn't know there was tea here) Had the following: - 2 Person Saffron Tea Pot (There was 2 rock candy with it which was cute, but we only used one since we don't like our tea too sweet, took the other one home~ FYA they do charge for the rock candy, it doesn't come with the tea, we didn't know lol) - Veggie Samosa and Falafel Appetizer (Yum! Would recommend) - Veggie Delight - Gyro Sandwich and Fries (This was a huge portion)
