Restaurant Middle eastern restaurant Syrian restaurant

🫤 The place has a middle eastern vibe and decoration. We went there so excited, only to be grounded by the price to portion ratio. Dishes were nothing special and overpriced. 4 small koube balls 10€ and not that great tasting. Also, we order some kebabs that were like store bought hot dog sausages in...

    The place has a middle eastern vibe and decoration. We went there so excited, only to be grounded by the price to portion ratio. Dishes were nothing special and overpriced. 4 small koube balls 10€ and not that great tasting. Also, we order some kebabs that were like store bought hot dog sausages in size and mediocre. We enjoyed the labneh dip with the fried pita. Wouldn't recommend.

    A great place to try a different style of food in Thessaloniki. Syrian tastes made with quality materials make for another little gem for all foodies in the city. Excellent food, good portions and a very polite service.

    Excellent Syrian cuisine in Thessaloniki. The dishes are delicious not to spicy but true to Syrian tastes. Adequate wine list & even a beer list. Fair prices and a very good service. The ambiance of the place could use some improvement... Other than that if you want Arabic taste in Thessaloniki this is the place to visit... I will definitely go again!!!

    It is an original Middle East Restaurant with Syrian orientation. The food is excellent am authentic and the service is also very good. It is a bit overpriced if one considers that the restaurant decorations is slightly above a taverna and difinetly not that of a restaurant. Overall a good experience but prices would make me choose for occasionall rather than casual visits.

    Very slow service, had to wait almost 25 mins for 2 falafel sandwiches. The Arabic bread was most certainly not fresh. But waiter was very kind and professional.

  • 5/5 Stella A. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely place made by lovely people. We got falafel, armenian salad, baba ghannouj, chicken giaourtlou and vegetarian kube, and we loved all of them. 100% recommended.

    Great food! Great people!

  • 3/5 Kostas K. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice cuisine transferring tastes from middle east, but is slightly expensive for what they offer. On top of that, a good renovation is strongly recommended, since it feels from a different decade (or century). I don't know if I am going to revisit it.

    The food was wonderful and the staff is quite friendly. The prices were a bit steep in comparison to portion and quality however it’s worth a try

👍👍 Possibly one of the best restaurants I've been to around Europe. This is couple of traditional Greek traditional dishes at its best, especially if you're avoiding meat. The food was a reasonable portion as even some of the starters priced at less than €5 can fill one person. The flavour and taste wa...

😠 One of the worst restaurants I've ever been to. I just left a few minutes ago. The server had an extreme attitude. We mistakingly ordered a salad that had pork, so we informed the server that we need to cancel it. He began giving us attitude and telling us that the menu clearly stated the salad had...

👍 Good burgers & beer, great fries. We tried the Boss Burger and Jalapeños Burger and were pleased with both. The Jalapeños Burger had a nice kick, I would ask for extra jalapeños if I were to order it again. My burger had maybe 5-6 pickled jalapeños on it, which is probably plenty for most but I lik...
