| - I didn't even notice that this place was here until we were parking by the shoppers and just noticed it. Too lazy to figure out where to eat dinner, we decided to just give this place a go.
We've been trying a lot more middle eastern, Mediterranean cuisine as a family and have found a few favourite spots. This place was great, but definitely there are areas to improve in terms of their food options. As a new restaurant, I think they'll get there in time. Food alone would bring it to 3 star, but the amazing service is what pumps it up to a big ol' 4!
Hopefully management will read this because I want them to know, Marva, our waitress, did an amazing job. She was there when we needed her, checked up on us, and made sure we enjoyed our meal. She was happy to get feedback and was very helpful to explain the menu options to us as we were not very familiar with some of the dishes. She's very friendly and if this is the level of hospitality they have, I think you can't lose coming here.
We started off with a puffy steaming bread. I forget what it's called but we've had it before at other places. This was fresh, not burned, and soft on the inside with that hard crust on the outside. However, it was very flavourless. I think it's best if you ordered some type of dips to accompany it.
My dad ordered a lamb dinner to be cooked to medium rare, but it was almost well done and quite hard. He had give everyone a piece before biting in so by the time we found out, we already eaten half of it among all of us. The waitress, however, still offered to redo the dish, which I thought was very kind of her. Flavours were alright, but the fries on the side could have been a bit less soggy. Actually, all our fries were a bit soggy which is something they could probably fix easily. :)
The fattoush salad was very fresh and I liked the variety of vegetables in the dish. It was a bit over dressed and I found it to be a bit wet. The flavours were quite nice though :)
My mom and I shared the Tabliyeh Saj Chicken Shawarma as per the recommendation of our fantastic waitress, Marva. I think I would try a different protein next time too, but this one was amazing!! There's that delicious crunch in the outer side of the saj, and you've got the stuffed insides and a garlic dip accompaniment. I loved the pickles as well which just helped cut through the savory flavours. I think this is a very well balanced dish and I would happily return for more.
Over all, we had a great time here and enjoyed our meal. Marva, was amazing!! She really did a fantastic job. With our lamb being cooked improperly, she offered to have it redone. We refused since we were almost done anyway :) But she kindly gifted us a box of sweet treats. Variations of baklawa sweets and we thoroughly enjoyed those.
Give this place a try and just let the staff know if there's anything you don't like or think could improve. They've got a great attitude. I'd love to see this place stick around the neighborhood.
