Great food combo chicken is enough for two. Can here for Saturday lunch a great choice
Fantastic food, consistent quality. Easily the best Iraqi food in the area. Small parking lot but it's usually not an issue.
this is our favorite place, period. i almost don't want you to know about it. the ambiance lets you know you're in another country, almost. and the food is simply *outstanding*
As others have stated, this is a hole in the wall restaurant in a strip mall. Very unassuming but the food is delicious. I have been eating at Pota Inn A LOT so the flavors were a nice change. What stood out to me was their fresh baked bread with garlic sauce since it's light and crispy while warm but not sure if it'd stay well the next day. I got the chicken tawook combo plate. The chicken was juicy and flavorful but the pieces are small. The falafel was crispy from the outside but it needed a little more kick to it. The only reason for knocking a start off is value. For the location and ambience etc, the food is not cheap when compared to Pita Inn which offers amazing value along with taste.
Way better than naf naf and the meat quality is so high here. Quality- love how simple the dishes are yet the meat is so well cooked and seasoned. It's peppery. The ban is crispy and hummus is good too. Quantity- you get quite a bit for the price. Atmosphere- I like the small cozy feel of the restaurant. It is quiet and not crowded. Service- very fast.
If you are looking for hole in the wall Mediterranean place then Nay it is. This is the best Mediterranean food in the suburbs. The food is just delicious here. You can't go wrong with pretty much anything on the menu. I love the Nay Veggies and Falafel Wrap. My husband just loves the mix grill platter. Service is good and food tastes always fresh. The ambience is just ok, they got 6-7 seating tables, and the restaurant is clean. There is a parking in front of the restaurant.
Small restaurant offering Mediterranean. Plenty of parking. Had halal chicken shawarma with hummus and a fresh pocket bread. Very approachable spicing for all. Friendly folks.
Hole in the wall Middle Eastern spot in a very small strip mall with minimal parking. Food was pretty delicious. Wife and I and split a mixed meat plate with a small baba ganoush. Plate came with a side of assorted sliced veggies, hummus, roasted tomato, and a large piece of naan. Really enjoyed the garlic sauce and hot sauce they serve on the side as well. Service is pretty minimal. Order up at the counter take a number for you order and they bring it out for you or can specify togo. Price point I thought was a tad high for the portion, but given the rising costs of everything maybe it is what it is. Maybe next time just order my own plate =P That's all I got on this one. 'Til next time, cheers!
