I've been wanting to write a review for this place but didn't get a chance until now. I was visiting Charlotte, NC for a conference in November 2014. I met the owner, very graceful and hospitable man, may God bless him and his family always!!! He deserves 100 stars and I'm not just saying that out of no-where!!!
The service he provided was absolutely wonderful! The food tasted great!! I had ordered the full Cornish hen with rice and had substituted another side for hummus. The portions were huge!!! I had also ordered some food to take with me on the next morning flight for my husband (chicken kabobs and other items) and the owner packed everything for me in very good packaging (for the flight). My husband really enjoyed the meal the next night. The food was great, the place was super clean (even the bathrooms), the prices were very reasonable (or even cheap compared to Bay Area) and the portions were huge. On top of that, the service was very welcoming and hospitable. What else can you ask for in a restaurant!!!
I wish we had such great tasting Arabic restaurants in the Bay Area. If I ever get a chance to go back to Charlotte, I will definitely ask him the recipe for the most flavorful yellow rice I've tried in the whole world. Thank you for providing such great food and great service to a hungry customer at close to 10pm at night. God bless you!!!
