The place might not look all that good. But the food is amazing, amazing amazing. The shawarma is very very very authentic and properly made, it's what a real shawarma is supposed to taste like, all the other dishes are fine very fine.

Authentic, delicious middle eastern food. Very friendly and attentive staff. The decor Â is lacking, but they more than make up for it with the menu. No place cooks it better than taite, but this comes in a close second. Faves: kibbeh, hummus, baba ganoush, chicken tawook, and holy cow, the mint lemonade.

My original posting for this restaurant was ecstatic by the experience I had and yet, after today's experience, I'm not sure what to think.

The beef schwarma sandwich was okay and reasonably priced. My friend and I shared the grape leaves (only so-so in my opinion and kind of mushy) and falafel (yummy!) and were sure we'd give the kubba a try next time.

Just a note that if you decide you want more than one glass of anything (yes, that includes water) that you will pay per glass and NO that is NOT stated anywhere on the menu (or "not" not stated on the menu either, as their waitress informed me). So beware as what should have been a reasonable lunch ended up being more expensive than anticipated.

Whomp. Whomp.

Middle eastern food in Odessa, now this is faaantastic news to me!!

This place is not located off a good street and may be a hard to find for most customers, I found it just by chance while driving one day on Grant st., it is not attractive from the outside, it is kind of average or below, but it has a big yellow sign that says Hookah!! This is definitely an eye grabber for me.

As you walk in, I have to say that I was again not impressed at all with the interior, it is below average, for a hookah place it is lacking the proper ventilation and it gets rather hot and humid with the cooling system inside.

None the less, you are greeted with a big welcoming smile the moment you step inside. Customer service is above average here.

Now, the most important part: The FOOOOOD!!
This is where your dollar goes a loooong way in my opinion, the entrees are very high in quality and full of flavor, you will enjoy every bite. I have tried most of the main items on the menu, and each time has been a bulls eye, slam dunk, right on spot delicious, I love the food, and I immediately became a regular.
The prices are just right, very fair pricing for the entrees and sandwiches. The Baklava is rather expensive.
Turkish coffee is a must over here, very well done!

I am a very happy, satisfied returning customer, and would highly recommend this place!
