“We came here before they made changes but I wanted to leave a review about our experience. I got a cold brew coffee with tahini and caramel and it was really good. We them ordered the toum caesar salad with halloumi, and the labneh and they were both fantastic. So much flavor in all the dishes. The knafeh pancake was my absolute favorite but we had to take most of it to go because it was too much food for 2 people. I will add the service was pretty slow on that Sunday morning because it took a long time to get our orders in, I had to remind them about the coffee a few times and then getting the check too a while too.”
“Struggled with how to rate this one. Really delicious food, excellent service and a nice place for sure. My only hesitation is that it is LOUD. My partner and I could barely hear each other across a small table. But if you are here when it's not busy I'm guessing it is a great place to visit. The food and service pushed me to 5 stars it was that good....”
“The food here is phenomenal. I’ve never had such creative fusion flavors that are both new and familiar. They have Mediterranean / Palestinian standards but with a twist; the flavor combos are so clever and they always taste amazing. They have slightly different menu items for dinner vs brunch so I’d really recommend trying both for the full experience. My favorites are too many to name but honestly you can’t go wrong—but the pancake is definitely top notch. Other favorites include the toum fries, the lentil soup, rotti wrap…actually you know what everything is good. I really don’t think you can go wrong. They also have vegetarian and vegan options, as well as other dietary restrictions options. Parking can be found on the street, though might be crowded during peak hours. I wish they were open more days of the week, it’s only Thursday - Sunday for now, but maybe in the future that will change…?”
“Hands down the best brunch I’ve had in a few years. We got a wide selection - Turkish eggs, round fries, mansaf roti and the kunefeh pancakes along with a two drinks. The mansaf roti was perfection with a hint of freshness with the mint, the fries were seasoned to perfection and I can’t even begin to describe how delicious the pancake was. It’s extremely busy so I recommend getting a reservation!”
“Such a great brunch spot. The menu is full of super interesting and unique dishes. The Japanese sweet potatoes were addictive. They have super fun coffee options. The servers were very attentive and knowledgeable. The interior was super cute, bright and colorful. We were so full so we didn’t have room for desserts but they had a very intriguing spread. I would definitely come back here and recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, unique brunch spot. It’s located in a cute part of town too!”
