I am a fat man, and I cook. Trust me, this place is excellent.
We ordered the nibeh, tabobuleh and babaganoush and it was unusually oustanding as were the main entrees. I'm not sure about the mediocre reviews personally. I'm hard to please when it comes to food and I was impressed they got everything just right.
I cook middle eastern and frequent middle eastern places and I was quite impressed. The service was also much more friendly (yet non invasive) than I am used to having eaten a lot in SF, LA, NYC, Houston and Toronto.
It also has a nice vibe. I will be coming back here. Often.
