I feel a little funny granting five stars, since that kind of rave implies everyone will love Al Hana - and I dont think that's true. It helps to leave one's Scottsdale or Camelback corridor preconceptions in the parking lot, in order to find treasure within the area blight, and indeed, within the gray, dreary walls of Baiz Market.
If you approach Al Hana with a traveler's sense of wonder, however, this establishment is very cool. The market is fascinating, especially the tiny bakery and butcher area in the back. The restaurant is more of a simple counter, no frills and limited menu, but rates an objective five stars based on food quality, value and service. Delicious, cheap, and the young lady who helped us was very nice. I dont need a sorbet course to give it five stars.
Maybe it's different during lunch hour, but at 5:30pm we were the only Anglos in this fairly large neighborhood facility. Many women in hijabs and abayas. Young men of varied Middle Eastern persuasion. In most respects, it felt like a market half way around the world. Iraq or Jordan maybe. Not every Arizonan's cup of tea, perhaps, but for foodophiles and the culturally curious, definitely recommended.
