| - I've definitely had better.
My friend and I stumbled upon this place when we were looking for Middle Eastern places that might have vegetarian choices, and the other place I wanted to check out was closed for the night.
I am always taken in by neon signs and kitchy decor, and this place had it in spades... there was a room that had a camo theme, and another that had an Egyptian ruin theme. Fantastic.
We both started with fruit juices which promised big (one promised to terminate all your desires) and were actually quite good. The appetizers were great, the veggie stuffed grape leaves were great, as were the samosas, which were deep fried to perfection. The tabouli was extremely fresh, but the tomatoes were still orange. The hummous had a liver sort of flavour to it, which I enjoyed, but my vegetarian friend did not. She really enjoyed the baba ganoush and I didn't. The pitas were dry and brittle, which really bugged me.
The service was really nice and sweet, but slow. It took us an hour to get our food, which wasn't a big deal since weren't in a rush, but that was way too long to wait for what we ordered. I will probably not be back, since there is better. This might be a shisha place first, and a food place second.
