In the kitchen, the cooking leans traditional and comforting rather than showy: hommus, mutabal, falafel, and rice dishes like kabse and maklube, plus skewers from the grill. Tasting platters are the best way to explore, and desserts—especially the pistachio and rosewater sweets—earn repeated raves. Prices are moderate, and portions leave diners satisfied without excess.

There is no alcohol service, and staff are happy to adapt plates for vegetarians and vegans.
