    What a miserably terrible service. Spent 30 minutes engaging in the thrilling (catch the waiter attention) game. Didn’t get to try the food cause life it too short to wait any longer. And given the delightful combination of awful service and the general hygiene of the tables and surroundings, I can only assume I dodged a gastronomic bullet. 👍🏼

    I went once and I will never go again! The plate was dirty, although the black color to hide that, the garlic cream had pieces of eating, the pickle and a piece of cucumber was old as you see in the picture! I don't advies.

    Good experience. The trees formed a canopy over the yard and makes the outdoor sitting area enjoyable. The food is good with generous portion.

    Service was quick and staff was friendly and patient. The food was amazing. Also the service was quite impressive with polite staff. Overall experience was good. I tried Zenger Menu which is my all time favorite item to order. Their garlic yogurt sauce is nice.

    As someone who ate levantine food in the middle east and Europe many times, I should say this place serves one of the highest quality food from Syria and Lebanon and it is highly recommended place.

    Very bad and slow service. You need to raise your hand and ask for things multiple times, and still the waiter ignores your request. Very disappointing service you need to pay more attention to your customers.

    The service is really bad we been waiting for hours and then got half of the order, they forgot completely about the drinks, forks and napkins. The waiter was rude. The toilette is too small and dirty. The toilette for both ladies and gents both are located beside each other in a very small rooms in the basement without any hygiene. It takes them hours to afford the food or even the drinks. To take a tea pot, we had to wait till other customer are done with their pot.

    A very good representation of Syrian food, good staff and average prices. Overcrowded so best suited for families. They have both open and closed areas with good service. I would suggest everything on the menu and esspecially „Brosted chicken“ and „Fattoush“ salad. For desert: choose the arabic ice cream known as „Bouza arabi“, milkshakes are fine also.

    A typical Syrian restaurant. Try the breads topped with different kind of stuffs. The dips are great and so are the shawarma. Fried chicken is ok. You can also get shisha if you like to smoke with some drinks. The Tea is served in a nice way that goes well with the shisha.

    The food was ok but the presenting was absolutely horrible. They presented the same meal in different looking dishes and my dish was broken from the edges. The seating space was very tight and the table had hair and food remains from the guests before us. Waiters were very nice though

    Honestly if you are interested in Arabic food, i highly recommend you to visit this restaurant. The food is well cooked and it brought me back to my home country with every bite i took.

  • 3/5 Naj K. 1 year ago on Google
    Needs to spend some money and change all interiors … specially the floor… its oily slippery… change the food preparation area … put new tables and chairs… it successful business why they don’t make sure it will always look like new and shiny!!!!! Food and shisha is good

  • 4/5 Alaa Al I. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was great but yhe toilet was not clean

  • 4/5 Noura A. 1 year ago on Google
    Good ambiance. The food is pretty good and the service is quick but may seem a bit unorganized since the waiters keep serving us other people’s food and held us back a long time before paying the cheque. Still, the restaurant serves authentic Syrian delicacies and would satisfy every fan of the Levantine cuisine ! The restaurant is indeed very family-friendly , therefore I recommend it !

  • 5/5 Farooq K. 1 year ago on Google

  • 3/5 Ardalan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious Arabic food, but normally is full so you hardly find a place to seat and if you don't like smoking, be aware they serve Hookah there and smoke is all around you

  • 4/5 zein S. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the few places that you can taste a real flavoury middleeastern food , to be fair went several times there because myself is a Shawerma lover(best I have had in Europe).

    I definitely recommend this restaurant, here you will find everything in one place the amazing food, location and Shisha. I drive 2 hours and a half just to eat there. Just the problem that they don’t make a reservation and after my drive 2,5 hours I have to wait 2 hours to get a Table.
