I mostly liked the atmosphere. The tables are so authentic (reminded me of Lebanon) and the music too. Moreover, the lamb shawarma with a Tabulli side and Hummus made my whole visit complete. My husband had Falafel and chicken shawarma and liked it too. The waiter was aware of our needs before we ask for it (eg. refilled the bread... more
