The 2nd star is purely for fantastic service. The staff is friendly and very efficient. If you want to try it, get extra tahini. In fact, dip your meal in the white sauce and it might work.
I've had their food in new york and so, my friend and I decided to try it. Luckily we got there before noon for lunch and so didn't have to wait in line. The food was edible but, my friend didn't even bother finishing her meal. The rice had no flavor whatsoever. I like simple menus, but this place has 2 things on their menu. Such a bummer.
