| - We walked from the nearby Holiday Inn Express to find this amazing gem of a restaurant. We ordered two combo meals (each of which includes a nice salad, a very well-prepared rice, and a wonderfully roasted tomato with perfectly/slightly crispy skin), one with chicken and one with lamb. The chicken is not to be dismissed as routine, as it was perfectly seasoned, moist and perfectly cooked: fantastic. The lamb was exceptional, such that the meat's flavor shined and the spices remained in a supporting role in the background (where they should be). The freshness and "homemade" quality of the meal cannot be overstated. It was truly amazing. Definitely order the "Deezee" (as written phonetically on the menu, but actually 'Dizi'), an elegant combination of lamb, garbanzos, potatoes, onion, and other amazing goodness that is stewed and served with pita and a subtle tomato-based sauce on the side. The Deezee is a meal in and of itself. I am a 210 lb 6'2" tall man and I had trouble finishing my half of the Deezee and my lamb combo meal. The portions are large. As most food people know, the best places are often lacking on ambiance. This place is in a strip mall but it is a gem. All in all a fantastic meal. Obviously highly recommended.
