We ordered the Maestro Mega Mix plate, which came with beef, kafta, and chicken kebab, along with hummus, baba ghanouj, garlic spread, basmati rice, and a side salad. Everything was excellent—from the fresh salad to the flavorful meats and spreads. My top favorites were the chicken, the garlic spread, and the rice. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and incredibly tender—soft and juicy on the inside, not dry at all. The garlic spread paired well with everything on the plate, and the rice had a surprisingly rich, delicious flavor. Overall, an amazing meal that I’d definitely order again.
Food quality and selections were excellent. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. The atmosphere felt warm and relaxing, and the staff was extremely friendly, especially Ghada and the new hire who took great care of us. I recommend this lounge not just for the hookah but for the food as well.
We stumbled upon this place while out walking. A marque sign on the sidewalk grabbed our attention. Various items were listed for their lunch special. The menu looked very intriguing! We must return to try more. We had already eaten lunch but the quiet atmosphere drew us in. So, for our selection we chose a gyro wrap, fries and a bottle of water. The gyro wrap was so fresh and delicious as well as the fries which you could tell were cooked in fresh oil with no greasy feel at all. The staff is very accommodating, always checking to make sure everything was fine.
prices are pretty good given downtown. the atmosphere is very nice with comfortable seating and excellent decor. the food was very good, but heads up for the sensitive, there's a good amount of garlic sauce used so ask to be without it if you're sensitive to it. speaking of sensitivity, the houses sauce is a tad inn the spicy side, again for those sensitive. it was good enough for me and I consider myself very sensitive, but my daughter couldn't finish her burger. overall the food is as good as it looks. then there's the bathrooms, super clean and has a BIDET, very rare yet helpful to have. there's music playing and one last fyi, there's hookah being smoked by the occasional guest with one guy smoking a cigarette in their outdoor seating area. server was very nice and playful with my daughter. appreciated his service and hospitality.
Our first time here today, and food is phenomenal! Everything we ordered was delicious! Great place for families and friends! Nina our server was very friendly and patient with our kids. Will recommend it to everyone for sure. We will be back soon.
