What customers say?

“ The food was really nice, with a wide variety to choose from. And staff was very friendly and helpful, specially Mr.Ihnas (I assume it is the correct name). He helped us pick the best items from the menu, and was very respectful. It is better if they renovate the place, and maintain it. The place is pretty old. The floor, walls, chairs and tables are dirty and the hand-washing area and washrooms are not well cleaned or maintained. ”

“ Came here after ages. The place looked the same as which I checked back 6-7 years back. We went for Dinner on a Monday and there is only one other couple having dinner. We were 5 people and we tried a Shawarma platter. Which is enough for 5 and it was good. Also we tried their recommended layers drink, which had Avacado, Mango and 1 more fruite which is also good. The platter price for the 5 is reasonable. Highly recommended if you are a bunch visiting ”

“ Edit 6/1/2026- Uber /Pick Me food orders take ages to arrive. The order is ready for pick up only after an hour of placing the order which is ridiculous IMO. Order thrice and experienced the same. The quality of food has remained consistent over the years. The service is great too. Tried the Grilled Chicken Plate and the Dubai Chicken Shawarma. It was top notch. The Grilled chicken plate comes with rotti, hand cut cassava chips, grilled chicken leg, salad, hummus , mayo & ketchup - a well rounded meal for those looking at healthy options. Food & Drinks prices are decent for the quality and the portion size. But the tax and service charge is quite heavy on the bill. The hand wash area and washroom are dismal, definitely needs a facelift. They have small corner for kids with books and a TV - convenient for families with kids ”
