What an amazing little gem of a restaurant. Food, atmosphere and service were all overwhelmingly good! I had the Jerusalem plate, a terrific selection of appetizers that was just perfect as a meal: a spinach pie whose filling was the exact amount of tart you want from sumac surrounded by crispy-soft pastry, a satisfying pile of hummus surrounded by cucumbers, two perfect falafels and crispy zaatar-dusted pita chips for dipping and textural contrast! I asked for tahini and cucumber yogurt sauce an polished the entire plate. The hibiscus tea was also perfect and refreshing. The cafe had a great free live band the night I was there: super interesting, jazz standards with a pedal steel player thrown into the mix. I can't say enough about how friendly the owner and staff were. I felt right at home and deeply cared for. Don't miss this place if you are in Greensboro!

Everything was pretty good. I wish they had traditional pita rather than a thin wrap; my falafel wrap was not the way they made it in Jerusalem which used a fluffy pita. It tasted good and the portions were fairly generous for the price (2 meals w/drinks for about $35). My partner highly enjoyed his chicken shwarma wrap, which they often have as a special on the weekends.
