“ Had been iffy about trying this place due to reviews but it was honestly so good and makes me sad to see it have poor reviews. The whole experience felt very simple and authentic. I ordered a chicken kabob plate with hummus and lentil stew. It was very delicious and a huge portion. The chicken was really well seasoned and everything came out steaming hot. I am looking forward to eating here again! ”
“ Amazing authentic food. The stuffed grape leaves ( Dolmas ) were incredibly delicious. We also had the best Falafels we had ever tasted, the texture of the falafel was perfect as was the spices. The Gyro meat was seasoned just right. The rice was so good by itself, I am sorry I do not have any photos to share. The best was the lentil stew with rice. We plan on returning and will post picks. Lets not forget the chicken kabob plate, Yum is all I can say. Our chef was the best the service was amazing, The restaurant could use some clean up and a paint job but everything was amazing. ”
“ This was supposed to be a birthday dinner party at either Arrakash or Safta, but they were too booked, so my son set it up here. It was a hugely surprisingly good place. Ostensibly "Mediterranean", it reflected the Farsi Afghan style of the owner, a Persian minority from Afghanistan (people who supported the American involvement against the Taliban, and had to flee for their lives when the Taliban took over). The food was EXCELLENT, from the Persian style saffron rice, to the superbly well done meats, especially the lamb kebabs, as well as the hummus, baba ganoush, and felafel. The prices were lower than the original Mediterranean restaurants we were intent on, and none of the food disappointed. 4 in the party were Chinese, and it reminded them of the better quality Uyghur food of Xinjiang in Western China. What really impressed me us was the quality of service, from cooking, serving, managing the whole place WITH ONLY ONE PERSON. The quality of food and service got us all agreeing we would return again. ”
“ Fantastic service and food. We've always been super happy with the quality of the food, so tasty! There recently was an issue with our order, they went above and beyond to not just fix the issue, but to ensure our satisfaction. Def our favorite place to get middle eastern food! ”
“ Forget about the rest, this restaurant is simply the perfect one. Excellent services, they maintain cleanliness and take care of your need. ”
“ Friendly & delicious. I ordered a chicken kabob bowl. It was crispy chicken paired with some good salad ”
