    I had the falafel sandwich which was delicious. My friend let me try a bite of his chicken schawarma and it was divine. We split knafa for dessert...I'd never tried it and it was superb. What I loved was how expertly everything was seasoned...very flavorful but subtle at the same time. The restaurant was lovely and the family staff/owners all came out to greet us. I hate that I'm not a local and can only visit when I'm in Orlando. Sooooo goooood!!

    A hidden gem! It looks pretty unassuming, and I was worried that I’d made a mistake … but the reviews were right. Delightful service, friendly staff, and the food was incredible. My daughter and I are still talking about the hummus! It was all delicious and a highlight of our trip!

    Agree with all the gem comments!! The food was so good! In a sea of fast food chains this was authentic small owner restaurant who took care of his menu. Service is on the slow side but really pleasant.

    This place is a true gem. Very authentic with great service and wonderful dishes. It’s very unassuming from the outside, but once you walk inside it all changes. I could not recommend them more. Excellent all around.

    Entertainment didn’t start until about 9pm. We’d hoped for a little earlier. The house lighting stayed up high til 9. Though the tables have some beautiful cushioned seating one side, the table clothes were heavily stained and the large open room leaves little intimacy. The wine list is limited, and unwritten. The taboulleh salad is perfect, baba ghanoush is incredible; the tagine kofta is fantastic. We really liked our food; we didn’t find the setting we expected from the website.

    We made reservations. Tried to find the restaurant. It was a different name. Got there they said it was the grand opening of the new place and tried to sit us outside. We left. It was raining and someone was smoking at the next table. Very disappointed..

    Booked here because we were in Orlando for a Cheerleading Competition and it was my Birthday so I wanted to get away from the touristy areas and touristy food and have something authentic like I can get back home in NY. The restaurant was decorated beautifully and the service was excellent. A belly dancer came around to each table. It was a fun and happy atmosphere and the food was absolutely amazing. We still talk about it til this day. Will definitely go back!! Highly recommend
