The staff was friendly and the dining area clean. The food was good but not up to par with what's offered at other area Middle Eastern restaurants. Although covered with tahini sauce, the falafel was dry to the point of inducing minor gagging. It was no match for the falafel at Maha's Cafe in Ohio City. The fattoush salad was tasty, but other places, including Aladdin's and Nate's, do it much better. I wish this place well, but mediocre food and a location hidden from the street within the rather desolate (on this Saturday, at least) Uptown development may point to a troubled future. (Why bother making a trip to Uptown for a meal when you can find a Jimmy John's, a Panera or a Chipotle on practically every street corner throughout Greater Cleveland? And who wants to linger when pay parking in the Uptown lot is limited to two hours?)
