| - I did not set out to write a bad review. I have great respect for a small business trying to make their way in the world. PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POSTING
Positive:
Food: The food was on par with a decent meal at a regular restaurant.
Service: Initially good
Negative:
Price: Double the price of a meal of this style and type. I did use the yelp coupon and only paid what the meal was actually worth. It was not worth the original 18 dollars charged.
Coupon: The establishment tried to tell me that the coupon was not good but they would accept it anyways. This is after I asked when I first got to the restaurant. Even if the coupon was not being used any more, yelp guarantees it for 1 year.
Atmosphere: As usual this restaurant is empty, however on a Friday night we were there when they were setting up for an event on Saturday. Evidently someone rented out the building for the next day. They were playing really explicit rap videos on the projector while I had a 7 year old and 1 year old at the restaurant with me. Not the Establishment per say, but the people setting up for the next day.
Bathrooms: Looked like they were under construction of some sort
Waitress: Our food was served with rice and meat. We asked if they had any sauces for the rice, the answer was no. We asked for mayonnaise, the answer this time was that all the people that eat at this restaurant don't ask for things because there is spices (saffron) already in the rice. (as my wife always uses saffron, the amount of saffron was not worth mentioning) I would completely understand this if there were people in the restaurant eating but it would seem that the one or two customers they get are for the Hookahs. This means, maybe they should be open to change instead of telling me what the other people who aren't there eat.
Extra charges: The food came with bread butter and feta cheese. They asked if we want some more bread and we said yes. They charged us on the bill an additional 4 dollars without telling us.
Kids menu: None: They said there is so much food, that kids eat from their parents. However, if i let my 7 year old do this, I would not have any food for myself.
Air conditioning; The air was shut off allowing the entire place to be filled with the smoke from the Hookahs. However, when we were there no one showed up and no one was smoking a hookah until we left.
Note to other people posting reviews: Please do not post racist comments about restaurants or cultures you do not know or understand. After seeing the other comments which seemed racist, I did give the restaurant a try. There are many restaurants in town that serve this kind of food with better reviews, and they are no different than anyone else.
Note to the owner: If your restaurant improves these items listed, I would be happy to retract my review, but I would recommend lowering prices. People in Charlotte expect more if you are charging them that amount. Please don't have your waitress tell me what other people eat there when you have no customers.
