    Lovely hidden gem in Swords. You are allowed to bring in your own alcoholic drink. The food was excellent. I had the steak and it was cooked perfectly. The staff were very attentive and friendly. I can't wait to try more delicious stuff from their menu next time.

    Great spot. Excellent starters! A bit more mint in the Tabouli than I would go for, but all good. Good service too. There is a nice porch area, no mask required there but 80% enclosed. I would give it about 4.6 overall, so went with 5.

    Stopped in for dinner before heading to the airport. Food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. Was able to park right next to the restaurant. Highly recommended and looking forward to eating in there again.

    Their lamb is delicious and the Seabass is the best we've ever had. Vine leaves starter was really tasty and different. They were great about Gluten-free. Well worth the money in a cozy, quiet atmosphere.

    One of the best places for food in swords. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. As they are Muslim, they don't sell alcohol, however they let you bring your own drink free of charge. The food is amazing, I would recommend trying their hummus, it is the best I've ever had. If you live in swords or out here for the weekend it is a must try.

    This little GEM serves FANTASTIC Mediterranean Food! The grilled Salmon & Tabouli salad followed starter of Crab Claws & Calamari in excellent garlic sauce. The Proprietor was very Kind & Lovely to chat with as well. Follow your dinner with the Baklava & real Mint Leaf steeped tea!

    Food was very tasty, fresh and good price. The staff are lovely and welcoming. You can bring your own drink and are made feel very welcome doing so unlike some places. Even though the restaurant is small you are not rushed through your meal or at the end to leave. Really enjoyed it last week so much so going back again this week to try even more. The owner told us that as much as possible everything is made in house which you can tell. Tasty, quality, friendly and at a good price!

    Every time I come here for food I leave 100% satisfied. The service is excellent. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, and the food is delicious. I missed it over lockdown, but still enjoyed coming down and collecting our take away meals. 10/10. Looking forward to having a sit down meal again.

    Lovely place, the food is extremely delicious, staff are friendly, the spicy potato was very tasty, kofta, steak and shish tawook were great, Motabal (Aubergines) was out of this world. Highly recommended

    Hands down my top 3 restaurants in the country. Phenomenal food, I've been eating here (in person or take out) at least once a month for the past 4 years. Every single time the food is unreal, anyone I bring to it raves about it. The staff are amazing, it's a little hidden gem and you'd be mad not check it out!

    Lovely meats and breads and the owner is very pleasant and accommodating. The option to bring your own beers and wine is fantastic too. One thing, maybe invest in a heater for the outdoor dining area, can get quite cold at night. Maybe offer some rugs or blankets as an extra touch ! Bar that overall it’s a good place and very well priced !

    Really great spot for authentic Mediterranean cuisine with the best of service to match. Note no alcohol is served Park in the small car park next door. When you’re finished, worth capping off with a Turkish coffee or fresh mint tea.

    As a man who enjoys good food, it is the place to go to. I sincerely enjoyed my meal(mixed grill, calamari and my girlfriend enjoyed her chicken shish tawook). Good quality meat. It is a small, yet beautifully decorated restaurant which captures the splendor of the Middle East . Staff is very welcoming, food is delicious and the price is affordable. I encourage everyone to try it. Best wishes, Dragos Tonita

    Although not white linen dining the family welcome of this Lebanese family restaurant feels like you are visiting there. The food is absolutely incredible and all Halal (for those looking). Vegetarian options (for likes of me) is brilliant and so tasty. You won't need it, but you will want it... ask for extra bread and the 2 types of humas. You will regret it if you don't. Such good food

    Food and service were great. Ordered over the phone and the guys we're really helpful it was my first time ordering the sort of food so they helped me through the menu. I was ordering for a group of six and they were really good at helping me order just the right amount of food with a good variety. When I arrived to pick up the food you walk in and immediately are met with a great smell of grilling food, you can see the chef working away at their big grill and you get a really nice welcome everyone says hello as you enter. It's almost becoming rare these days to feel like a valued customer but I definitely felt it from this restaurant and would recommend it.

    We visited on a weekend and were pleasantly surprised with both the food and the staff, who were very welcoming. When the weather is nice, there’s also a small patio outside. Cuisine is Mediterranean with an Egyptian touch (spices and cooking style). It’s a little on the expensive side.

  • 5/5 Eva-Maria O. 2 years ago on Google
    We wanted to have a good welcome dinner after coming home from abroad and we let Google reviews guide us to this small and unassuming place. And what a place it is! I had the Chicken Shawarma and hubby the Mixed Grill and both were absolutely delicious. They have a BYO policy but the Polish shop with wines was closed so we opted for lemonade which was lovely but quite sweet to our taste so needed some watering down. But we both loved it and can only recommend. Be ready to smell of that fire grill yourself though, too!

    The lamb kebap, mezze platter and home made pita bread were amazing. The hamburger was average, Turkish coffee was poor. The staff is so lovely and welcoming. The portions are smaller than I expected, compared to prices.

    The food was amazing, we ordered the Motabal starter, chicken and Mixed shawarmas. The interior atmosphere is very nice middle eastern style. We also tired Ayran, Turkish Coffee and Ment tea they were all made to perfection. Definitely recommend this restaurant it is clean and well looked after. I will come back again for sure.

    Food delicious. Maybe the atmosphere not like u can expect. But Food is nice.

  • 2/5 Tee 2 years ago on Google
    Food was ok, not great to expect my self going again. Quantity of starter was way to less comparing to the price. Who gives 3 piece of falafel for 6? Curry wasn’t great or authentic or distinct at all! Something you can easily make at home with minimal effort and very very few ingredients. Wasn’t expecting what I got for €19
