We stopped here by chance and wow this place is amazing. We were so happy to find this place. The hummus is a must have and the Turkish coffee was delicious. If I ever stop in the town again, we will definitely be back.
Amazing Arabic food! One of the best Dolmeh dishes I have ever had and I had plenty! Kufta was exceptionally delicious! Everything we ordered was perfect. The tiramisu was my favorite dessert. Plus the service was great. It made us wish we lived in New Orleans to eat there more often!
Great food with a nice ambiance. Their small plates are a must try and you will get bread with them and they are very delicious. Falafel and grilled vegetables platter are good too.
