| - Went here for lunch at around 11:30am on a Saturday, the place was empty and by the time we left, there was only one other table and a gentleman ordering a take out sandwich... The first impression of the restaurant was that it is very dark. I've read review that they had renovated the restaurant but I'm pretty sure they kept the tables, chairs, upholstery on the benches and the carpet. For this reason, the restaurant has absorbed the smells of the food which didn't lend to a pleasant dining ambiance. There was four of us and we ordered the combo (dips, falafel, meat on rice) with an extra skewer and side dish of fried eggplant, which I would definitely order again. The dips were very good and yes the bread they make was very authentic and fresh. The falafel was also very good, and by the time the meat and the rice came, we were already full. The chicken, lamb and kofta kabob were good, but the beef skewer was tough/chewey and had a weird/strange taste to it. The rice was just ok, tastes like what you would get at a Jimmy the Greek. Overall, good value for the food and I think what they are good at (bread, falafel), is very good, but everything else is just so-so.. I would also just suggest the restaurant reupholster during their next renovation and/or get a deep clean of the restaurant as my clothes and winter jacket ended up smelling like the place.
