Like this place. It's on main street. Good parking available on site. Try the chicken wrap it's good. Also they have great middle eastern flat bread available in the morning. Lemon mint (minty lemonade) is good refreshing drink. Also the fruity smoothie is good as well

I had Fattah it was so delicious. Very clean place and cool time for family and couples. I was the only one by myself lol. Come check it out even nice people and healthy menu.

Great restaurant, food is very taste, specially the hard dishes to be tried outside home such as Tabouli, Kebba, and Hummos…etcVery hospitable staff, professional and prices are reasonable. Both beef and chicken SHAWERMA needs some improvement.

Outstanding service! The owner is the kindest gentleman. Delicious food and amazing fruit juices . What a wonderful experience ☺️ so glad this place exists in the Mediterranean part of eateries. This is an eatery who will most definitely have my future business consistently and gladly. True authentic Syrian food. Clean, fresh and delicious. Outstanding!

It is extremely yummy, very generous meals, very clean, customer service is absolutely great. We will be coming back for sure, and with friends ❤️ Thank you Shima’a for your customer service and patience ❤️❤️❤️

The food was so delicious! They have good customer service and the cocktail’s chef was amazing and helpful! I asked him for Lebanese cocktail and he did it, even though it is not on there menu, but he did his best to do it and it was great! He made my day! Also, it is a clean restaurant and the bathroom very clean as well!

The best Arabic food I have had here and the closest to back home! The falafel, the hummus, the zaatar and cheese manakeesh, everything was delicious! The owner is the sweetest guy ever. He gave us our coffees for free, and a free plate of falafel! Best service and best people ever. We come from Arizona to San Diego a lot, and we will DEFINITELY be making this stop every trip. Thank you!

The food here was delicious and so much flavor. I particularly enjoyed the hummus and the fresh bread. That was fantastic. Thanks for the mint refresher while waiting for my order. Highly recommended

AMAZING food!! My parents and I always come and we're greeted by the kindest owner!!! We come here twice a week and we're always blown away by the quality of the food. Try it out for yourself and I promise you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend

It's very inviting and clean, and the staff is warm and courteous, as well as very good at service. The food is delicious and the proportions are generous. If you are looking for value and quality this is a great place to try.
