| - So I'm probably biased because I've actually lived in the Middle East and worked as a cook while living there, but I wasn't impressed by anything that I ordered. I went here because I miss a lot of the food that I used to get while living over there, and was hoping maybe this place could alleviate some of that. Alas, it was not to be. So I ordered the lunch meat combo as I wanted to try out the sujuk and kibbi, and was rather disappointed in it. The sujuk came out dry, while the kibbi was rather tasty so I was happy with that. The rice they served with it was fine, but they went and raw onion on the plate that kind of overwhelmed whatever you tried to eat it with. Also, their "grilled" veggies that they served with it were pretty much raw, not appealing. I would say that the biggest issue I had there was with their pita, it was overcooked, period. Even the fresh pita I got midway through my meal was crunchy on the bottom! Pita should NEVER be crunchy! Also, it still had flour or something on the outside of it that was kind of grainy and not particularly appealing. I was also somewhat annoyed to find out that I got charged for the side of pickled veggies that I asked for without being told that first by the server. Normally at Mediterranean restaurants those pickles come with everything, so kind of surprising. Overall, if I do end up going back to this place, I'll probably try a pizza as I've heard better things about them.
