Found this restaurant on new years eve after finding most restaurants jam packed. The location is somewhat hidden behind K&W cafeteria on Pineville Matthews Rd.which probably accounts for their lack of business. We walked right in (party of 7) to an almost empty room which has a very casual feel. The waiters were solicitous immediately passing out menus and water. We ordered quickly and food came fast. The grape leave and hummus appetizers were delicious; the falafel was OK but not homemade (probably frozen from a food supplier). The entrees were terrific! Their specialty is the chicken which is seasoned and suateed overnight and has an excellent flavor. Several of us also had lamb dishes which were equally good. Portion sizes were large, service was excellent. and prices extremely reasonable. Would definitely come back for lunch or casual dinner.
