We absolutely love this restaurant! It’s one of our favorites. They offer various options, including Halal, Mediterranean, Iraqi food, and sweets. The food is outstanding, the sweets was out side of this world, and the service is excellent. The atmosphere is very calming. We genuinely enjoy our time there!

Forget Cava's, forget Saba's. This is it! The best Mediterranean Rest. that I been to in the US. The Gyro plate, the meat, fresh tasty, full of the right spices. The pillow like basmanti rice, heaven. The Pistacho Desert OMGGGG! They have one with Chocolate and Pistacho. Pistacho Blissss. But the Best Part is the FAMILY behind this place, staring with Aby, the Owner and his Son that was there to greet me and answer all my questions. All the Friendly employees, like Malik the pastry chef, Mr Smiles from Morocco and Mr. Beard the Chef. They treated me like Family. I left that place feeling that I was leaving a cousin's house with great, Tasty, Homemade Food. You gotta try this place!!. Thank you Aby and Son. Shkran Lak

The food is amazing, people are nice, and desserts are truly authentic. You can tell this is a local place not just some copy paste Mediterranean restaurant. They also gave me some tea and samples of new desserts. Yummm!!

Fantastic! Order at the counter to go or to eat in and enjoy. We had the veggie platter, meat platter and lentil soup. Everything was absolutely delicious. This place is a must try if you're looking for Mediterranean food. And, they have wonderful looking desert treats.

Family owned and operated, the food tastes amazing, fresh, and authentic! Restaurant is very clean, the entire staff are happy serving the customers with big smiles; Baklavas & Kanafeh very tasty. Definitely worth the long drive from the East Valley
