Very delicious Mediterranean food at a very reasonable price. Probably the best Shrimp I've ever had in Tucson. The staff is also very friendly.
So, so good. We usually get take out but it is nice to eat inside with your family. My favorite is the chicken wrap and I add extra white yogurt sauce. My daughters both get chicken kabobs. We split a baklava. Everything we have tried has been tasty, and not like your typical chain flavors or anything.
Our meal was highlighted by freshly-prepared dishes: hummus appetizer, chicken doner wrap, and Turkish dumplings. Value was unexpected. The serving sizes for the prices are generous including sides of Turkish rice, green beans simmered in tomato sauce, salads, and french fries. Service was friendly and efficient. The restaurant itself is clean and new. Dimmers on the bright ceiling can lights would soften the ambience at night.
Outstanding flavors and great value. Probably the best falafel wrap I have ever tasted and unlike so many others, it isn't overwhelmed with raw onions and garlic - the onions are grilled and delicious. I was expecting the side of rice to be simply plain white rice but it exceeded my expectations by being a sort of pilaf rice that was fantastic. Side salad was fresh and generous and the dressing (which I usually skip in a casual dining place because it's not that great) was excellent. Lastly, we were not expecting to get a piece of baklava included in the meal. It was a nice surprise and one of the best of ever had.
It's a great little place with friendly staff, good food, and great portions. It's definitely worth the price and the quality is excellent. I purchased the lamb kabob plate and was NOT disappointed! I recommend this restaurant.
