Halal Hookup?
I came here on the recommendation of a friend who stated that what is the best middle eastern joint out of all the popular places in town.
As my friend and I entered the restaurant we were cheerfully greeted by the owner and was warned that they had run out of the chicken option for that week. Immediately we were given bottles of water instead of tap water without asking. I asked the owner why she had done this and she told me that they had run out of ice and would rather have me a drink bottled water. It would have been nice if she had given us the option in the first place.
I decided to get the lamb tagine (marinated lamb shank served over rice) which was a popular dish of the restaurant. Did dish was simple, the meat was very easy to pull off the bone but was a bit on the dry side. I couldn't understand the appeal of this restaurant, and would much rather get my halal hook up from other places in the valley especially in Tempe for less than 15 dollars.
The owner disappeared for the remainder of our meal and when we ended our meal, the owner was nowhere to be found at the store front. We ended up having to find her office and asking for the check.
