My mouth and stomach will thank me for years. Best hummus I’ve had in America. Food tastes like my mother made it for me. Super authentic and large portions. Very very tasty. Made to order. Fast service. Get the bread and the hummus! I need to go back and try more things. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked delicious 🤤 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Was in DC and I decided to pay a visit to a local restaurant. I was hoping to give a better review but this place needs more attention. Food: Order the Haneeth and it wasn’t tasty and the flavor was off. Rice seems a little old. For the salad I was really upset why would you serve something that it’s not fresh anyone can tell from the look or taste it from 2 or 3 days ago. Service: the place wasn’t busy when we visited so the service was quite ok. One thing to mention… they had nothing on the table. NO Napkins, Salt, Pepper and when they served us they only gave one tiny napkin for each. Being quite cheep not a good thing. Atmosphere: this place needs a tear down. Definitely requires new upgrade, not to mention also they have to stay consistent with deep cleaning because you can tell it’s not. Maybe with more upgrade and attention this place would do better.

Nice outdoor seating.Mandi was delicious but kabobs were bit dry. Service however was a bit disappointing. Not sure if they are understaffed, but they should default focus on that. Also most of the serving plates were either cracked or broken. Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4
Chicken Mandi was good , hence the 3 stars Mixed grill - kababs were dry, no taste Slow service, broken plates Meal type Dinner Price per person $100+ Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

So this was on my list of "Must to visit places" for a while and finally got a chance to visit them. Went there on a Sunday night for a late dinner and hookah. Amazing place to chill out. We ordered chicken Mandi, some Moroccan mint tea and mint lemonade along with the hookah. Everything was to the point. They have a separate beautifully decorated area on the back if you want to do Hookah alongside food. The server is very friendly and accomodating. Serving size of one Mandi is good enough for 2 hungry adults. Nicely made flavorful hookah and drinks. Must visit.

Excellent food and service! The lamb tagine fell off the bone and the Yemeni Kabsah was the best I have ever had. Very traditional. No need for knifes because the meat is so tender and flavorful. Lovely family business that caters to patrons like they are part of the family; dining experience was as comfortable as if dining at home with loved ones. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I brought my daughter for lunch, and she enjoyed it! The food was fresh and delicious. The staff was extremely nice to us, which as a toddler mom I appreciate. The place is very clean. The have a small little inside eatery, a pink outside area, a decorative back room and and outside party area. I can imagine how lovely this place place would be for a Sunday brunch with the girls. And why it's so busy in the evenings. We ordered milk cakes to go and they Did NOT DISAPPOINT EITHER! 10-10 THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE.
