Reviews
"Way too overpriced, bad service & food was nothing great. Not worth it at all. We also got charged a huge “credit card surcharge” more than I’ve ever seen before! Wanting to know what percentage they charge for credit card surcharge? Also noticed when I left that $1 extra here and there was added to some items on my receipt. Not sure what for! Scamming behaviour & horrible service. My apologies, I noticed the receipt was correct. However, rest still stands true. Very horrible customer service, wayyy too overpriced, extremely excessive surcharges I’ve never seen elsewhere before, owner replies in a very rude manner to other people’s feedback. Humble yourself."
"Horrible service and ridiculously small portions. We were served by such an arrogant and rude waiter, who was slightly passive aggressive with his responses which we found really odd…anyways the food arrived in such small portions we were shocked…11 dollars for a small amount of chips, 36 dollars for mansaf which was literally suited for a 5 year old. 5 dollar credit card surcharge! Are you for real? Had we known this, we wouldn’t have gone in. Horrible and such a waste of money."
"Extremely disappointing service from the establishment. The owner of this business had brought things to our table repetitively and charged us for them although they were not ordered. I believe that a business should try and satisfy customers to gain repeat business and loyal customers. However it seems as though the owner is interested in ripping off first time customers, expecting that word will not get around. Food was genuinely merely average and did not satisfy for the price whatsoever. Will definitely not be returning."
"The food was great and service was excellent. However this should be at least $$$ if not more because the food is not cheap. It’s worth it though, and I do recommend it. We had the chicken skewers and vegan okra , both very good and served with hot bread. The portions are very generous. Just be aware that it’s a bit pricey."
