Halal spot. Cool spot for Mediterranean food especially considering it’s near the college campus. Good was yummy and fresh. Had some leftovers for later as well given the bigger portion.

One of my friends recommended this place, and we love it, especially the salad with grilled chicken Tikka 😋

This Mediterranean restaurant is a gem! The food is absolutely delicious, the ambiance is inviting, and the service is top-notch. Marcela and Javeria were simply awesome — friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing flavors and excellent service!!

Did catering order from the Taylor St. IDOF. Delivery guy, Marco, was on time, super polite and super helpful in helping setting up the catering order. Food was enjoyed by the whole group. Really appreciated the professional service and quality of the food.
