“ Great spot for hookah with decent service and great food. The beef shwarma plate with fries is a great dish. Lots of open space and patio area although it gets loud as there's a playground for kids. ”
“ I recently dined at this Middle Eastern restaurant, and I must say, it was an exquisite culinary journey! From the delectable kabab chicken and beef bursting with flavorful spices to the perfectly cooked rice that left my taste buds dancing, every bite was a delight. Their tea is a must try; it’s fresh and you can prepare it to your liking. But the culinary adventure didn't stop there; the fresh fries were a true indulgence, and the hummus was so fresh it felt like it was just made moments before serving. Plus, their homemade pita bread added an extra touch of authenticity to the meal. Despite its popularity, the service remained top-notch even on busy nights, ensuring a seamless dining experience. While parking may be tight, the option of valet parking for a reasonable fee makes it hassle-free.With ample seating both indoors and outdoors, along with a casual ambiance, this spot has become one of my favorites in Texas. I cannot wait to return for another round of their delicious offerings. Highly recommended! ”
“ A very good place to hang out with family and friends in the evening. The atmosphere is nice and food is also very delicious. The only thing is that it takes a while to get your food on the table. ”
“ Awesome place for a long meal and chill time. Great for kids and extremely reasonable prices for the quality of food. Very friendly staff with expansive seating options. Lots of people doing hookah so it must be good! (I don’t smoke) Valet is 3 cash and I don’t believe place has alcohol as it is Arabic. 10/10 will go back! ... ”
