In Short – This renovated space is in the 1876 Jacob Larmour block, with lofty windows, hardwood floors and Middle Eastern decor. Soothing, authentic music plays in the background. The lunch menu consists of inexpensive salads, plates, sandwiches and American-style po'boys. The dinner menu includes a variety of appetizers, kabobs and other grilled dishes. Several vegetarian and vegan options are also available. There are five desserts, including bird's nest with pistachios and the ever-popular baklava with walnuts.
Glad we didn't read the reviews - this place was great!

I'm glad I didn't read the reviews of this place before going here, I may have never gone. But it turned out to be a very tasty, pleasant meal for lunch on a weekday. We were there around 1:30 with a few other customers. It took just a tad longer than comfortable, but we will be going back soon. The lady serving us did forget my tea - which after reading the reviews I guess this happens too often. I hope (if she is the owner) she realizes she needs help and gets a seasoned manager. They don't even have a web site!
- Pros: Tasty, healthy food. Ambiance. Price reasonable for location
- Cons: Little slow on service
awful food and service
by AFMOHMD
I and my husband were there yesterday , and we were coming from college station,Texas and was looking for Mediterranean restaurant and we just found this, we waste our time in waiting and were so surprised from the quality of food, I really regret the time and the money we spent there..furthermore the restaurant was not clean and the restroom are not in convenient place and not clean too..
we said that "it seems that the one who cooks this food has no experience in cooking"... the food was not tasty at all.
I will never go back to this restaurant neither advice any one to go there.
I can't imagine that a chef can cook this badly..
it is awfully bad...and you have to give a tip for the unpleasant experience!!!!!
don't go there.
- Pros: Example: best croissants in town
- Cons: What are the drawbacks?
