  Great hidden gem as you pass fast food, Cajun, and BBQ restaurants. The falafel is great

  We really enjoyed the food. They use good ingredients and traditional techniques.
  The desserts are very good. The hot tea is wonderful

  Tonight I ordered stuffed grape leaves, hummus, falafel, lamb kabobs and Ashta for dessert.  I had originally heard great things about this place and was anxious to try it.  Stuffed grape leaves were alright; neither good or bad.  Hummus was about the same, average and less acidic than a lot of store bought varieties.  The rice served with the kabob was plain white rice.  It would have been much better had they used some royal basmati.  The bread served with the meal was basic pita style bread.  Fresh made bread baked in a tandoori would have been much nicer all around.  I was most disappointed with the lamb.  I've had lamb many times in my life, in many parts of the country and cuisines. This lamb ranked at the bottom of my list.  It just didn't seem fresh to me.  For 14.99 I got only 1 kabob, a cup of cooked rice, a little hummus and salad.  2 kabobs would have been appropriate for the price.  I could get more of a better product in Houston for 60% of the price.  Falafel, I'm going to go out on a limb and say this stuff was previously frozen.  The sauce served with it was watered down and not adequately seasoned.   The Dessert would have been great but by the time I got to it, it was cold.  It was my first time trying it so I don't have anything to compare it too.  Even cold I kinda liked it.  Sad to say I will not be going back.  Better rice, fresh and "real" bread,  fresh meat and non-frozen falafel.

  While I enjoyed the food during my first experience, the management has changed. The menu looks exactly the same as it did on my first visit. However, the food is nowhere close to my last experience. The portion size was substantially smaller and it wasn't remotely close to the menu description, but the price was the same. To make a long story short, I sent my food back and requested that they cancel my order as I no longer wanted to eat. The manager came out and was extremely passive-aggressive in his attempt to "make things right". I was so insulted that I left the food on the table and walked out. I will never return to this restaurant again.

  Under new ownership as of 11/2012
  Family run place. Very friendly and great food. The owner tells me that he and his wife make all the food fresh, not from a can.  All I can say is that it tastes good and my almost 2-year-old daughter ate like a pig. They were great with her and even brought her out a plate of pasta so she didn't have to share with us. We'll definitely be back soon.
  Oh, and if you're up for dessert, I recommend the Ashta - marscapone cream cheese filled philo dough covered in a homemade honey syrup. Delicious.
