Let me just say the food surprised me. The Tabbouleh salad I couldn’t stop eating. The lamb shank, you have to ask for it by the door. It is a must and it was delicious no gaminess and the soup with the drippings oh man. The fried whiting fish was delicious as well. The food tasted so much better than they look in the photos. All the food was clean and not greasy or full of fillers.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Sadly disappointed with my experience here. I truthfully was looking forward to my first time here. The buffet was dirty and the labeling was off. It was dry old meat, crunchy old pita that looked fresh but wasn’t. Everything was very oddly made and didn’t taste authentic. The falafel almost made me throw up. It was like play dough and box mix. Real falafel is so much better and some of the meat didn’t seem fresh at all. If I’m paying $20 for a lunch buffet, I understand I shouldn’t expect it right off the grill. But this tasted almost an hour old? I hope to come back and have a different experience. We weren’t even greeted. You just walk in then eat then pay. I’m so upset because this isn’t accurate to flavors and true tastes. Very disappointed. 5/10. If you’re cool with a fast food vibe and but a quality price. The Gyro meat is wonderful and the Karak tea was so perfectly sweet. If you wanna pay that much for two things, be my guest.

One of the better buffets out there, lots of options and drinks/dessert are included with the meal. Took the opportunity to sample nearly all options, moat are solid winners - good mix of spices and great flavor, well prepared and regularly restocked. Will be back again.
