In Short – A small space is well-utilized, with counter ordering and many wooden tables packed into a very informal dining area. Wood paneling walls feature colorful murals depicting Middle Eastern architecture. Most customers are students from nearby UT who appreciate affordable prices. The kibbe's golden-brown, fried wheat coating reveals a beef-herb-onion stuffing. The lamb gyro platter comes with yogurt, basmati rice, cucumber/tomato salad and grape leaves. Vegetarian-friendly falafel/hummus platter offers light patties with flavorful tahini sauce.
