Food was absolutely delicious, It’s very rare to find good quality Iraqi food in the area but the chef did an amazing job. We went for breakfast and tried out the entire spread, will be back for dinner to try to the grilled fish.

Disappointing first visit. The interior was warm, nicely decorated, and spotless. Our waiter was kind and attentive, even though the restaurant was extremely busy. Unfortunately, our table wasn’t cleaned before we were served. The food took 45 minutes to arrive and came out cold and dry. The mixed grill platter for two was heavily overcooked — the lamb and chicken tikka were dry, the beef was tough, and the rice was poorly cooked. Even the sides (beans, okra, and half a grilled tomato) were cold. We didn’t send it back because the kitchen was clearly overwhelmed. Regretfully, we won’t be returning. The chefs should pay closer attention to cooking times, especially for the meats.

If there is 10 stars. I would give them more than that I went yesterday. And I was amazed how organized and beautiful the place is Greeted by server Ahmed so warm welcoming so nice person he kept us happy all the time we was there We ordered mashawi for 2 appetizers. The meat was tender the chicken taste amazing full of flavors two kinds of rice. Everything was perfect 10 out of 10. Also, the service 10 out of 10 The food was amazing Delicious and great The decoration was overwhelming. They spent a lot of money on it so organized, clean and beautiful. I never felt like that in any Middle Eastern restaurant before. The price is really good for the food we ordered. I would recommend everybody if you are looking for Syrian Iraqi mixed flavors to go over there and try them out. I definitely gonna come back next week to try their other dishes. They have plenty of that. you cannot miss I was so pleased with everything they served. I would encourage everyone to go try them out. They are really, really really great.

So excited that this place opened! We will definitely be regulars here. The food is very good, service (Ahmed!) is attentive, and the atmosphere is nice. This restaurant is shared with Chill Zone and it has a unique layout. The upstairs “loft” is a sit down restaurant and the other side if more of a casual cafe for people to work/chat and sip on drinks.
