| - We went here for the first time tonight and we'll be back! We don't eat meat, but did a wide-ranging sample of the vegetarian offerings - best I've had in Charlotte since we lost the Middle East Deli on Independence.
We started with stuffed grape leaves and Ful Madammas, which I'd never had before. Both were excellent, as were the lentil soup, hummus, baba ghanouj, and tabouleh ... fantastic. I restrained myself because I'm crazy for a good falafel wrap, and I got it here. Perfect balance of ingredients and flavors, exactly the right amount of tahini. For you omnivores, others in our group had meat kebabs and shawarma and said they were fantastic.
Our evening here was a great experience and I recommend to others in search of quality middle-eastern food. Our servers, Arij and Wayne, couldn't have been nicer or more helpful, and all the staff seem to value every guest. We don't live near the university and, esp with light rail construction, were concerned about traffic and parking, but both were surprisingly easy, at dinnertime on a weekday!
The portions are truly generous, as others have mentioned. It would be impossible to leave here hungry, and you'll enjoy the experience, and every single bite!
