“Live around the area and finally went to try on a slow day. Good food, kind and friendly staff. Def worth a try! Also got to try free lentil soup 💗☺️”

“Absolutely loved this place . This quick serve restaurant goes above and beyond with hospitality. . Not only were we greeted with such kind smiles but we were given some complimentary lentil soup to taste while we made our decisions. He shared with us the lentil soup is his mother’s recipe and I felt so special to have tasted her recipe . The food was so fresh and all the meat was so juicy and delicious. All of the entrees came with salad and spread option and sauces . Me being a girl I had so much difficulty deciding which sauce to try . The man gave me a little of each to try . So sweet . We ordered the mix grill and it was enough for us to enjoy at the restaurant and some more for later too .I really enjoyed this place for its freshness , kind staffed , and affordability. I plan to be back again soon .”

“Wow! I KEPT forgetting to post about this place, but I went 3 times in their first opening week. The food is THAT good and I think it’s a perfect addition to the neighborhood. Sometimes they give little lentil soup samples too. The owners are nice and welcoming. They cleaned it up nice from what it was before and lots of seating. They have some awesome lunch specials as well during the week that are great must have deals!”

“Amazing food and ALWAYS fresh. Their catering trays were fantastic also and fed 8 people for only 180 dollars. All of my friends asked me where I got it from, so they were impressed as well. I probably eat out from here once or every other week, it’s seriously that good!!!”
“Delicious food, friendly staff, and the restaurant manager is one of the nicest people.”
