| - I really wanted to like this place, unfortunately it was not to be. I had previously heard great things and seen beautiful photos of the restaurant so I had high hopes. Upon walking in, it certainly is quite beautiful. Gold decor on the tables and overall restaurant 'look' is probably one of the top in Mississauga. The gold water goblets tasted like metal and were gross, they really need to get normal water glasses. The servers were dressed in traditional Syrian garb which is a nice touch.
However, when it came to service and food, it was lacking. We came on a weeknight, they were half full yet it took a while for someone to take our order. We ordered a hummus with beef, fattoush salad, and the a beef sandwich. The fresh bread was nice, the hummus was average, and the beef was dry and didn't have much taste. As for the salad, it would have been nice had it been served in a wide bowl. They served it in a tall metal bucket, which yes does look cool, but is not the most easy way to eat a salad. For the price of this basic meal, you could go elsewhere and have a high end better tasting meal.
