The food is so good. Well in our opinion amazing.

Nevertheless, she was very nice and made several personal recommendations both on appetizers as well as drinks and food choices which in the end were well asserted as the choices were delicious food and a great ambiance.

Enjoyed the waitress outside eating area. Food was tasty & fresh.
Came to California 1st time in almost 20yrs. My brother & his girlfriend took me to this restaurant & I got the chicken tawook. Nice atmosphere (setting/location) inside & out. The food arrived in a very timely manner & I must say that the food was fantastic. All of it. Should I make it back here thus summer with my daughters then this is definitely a place & a dish that I will have again .
I wish I could give this place negative stars. For years people have told me that this place is amazing. Food was overly priced and bland. On top of that the service was very poor! The only thing worth eating here is the falafel. Rice is not even edible.
