Something Different!
by Elgreg at Citysearch
Tired of all of the canned bland chain restaurants then try this one! The seating is either cushion or bench(not for those who cant get around well) but very intimate and fun! You will meet your neighbors! The atmosphere is very North African but alot cheaper than a plane ticket. Menu quite simple but unlike anything else around. We havent tried anything that we didnt like. Several of the dishes are honey sweet and some folks will be surprised to see some old favorites with a twist. The hosts are very nice and have a great sense of humor. Enjoy the handwashing and the general lack of utensils! Great family ,close friends or even a good employee night out type of place. Try sunday or week nights to beat the crowds. Pricey but lots of food. Wouldnt recommend for kids under 10. Lamb, chicken,beef,kabobs,hummus,tea, ...all were great.
In short ...if you have even the slightest sense of adventure put this on your local bucket list!
Not impressed

The server conehead was very rude he grabbed the menu from me a couple of time and almost forced me to order something there was not much to pick from. My spouse did not want to eat and he told us that we could not share and had to buy for both people. Not to mention the place was not very clean it reminded me of a dirty strip club.
- Pros: entertainment
- Cons: customer service and cleanliness
Heaven
by theladyherself at Citysearch
This is the best food I've ever had! Every bite is like heaven! All of the food is so wonderfully seasoned! I highly recommend the Honey Chicken. It is a bit pricey- about $25/head- so we go here for special occasions and we tell everyone we know how great it is. It does look a bit sketchy from the outside, but the inside is great! You should definitely check it out if you haven't yet!
- Pros: The best food I've tasted! Great ambience.
- Cons: The outside looks a bit sketchy, slightly high prices
EXCELLENT FOOD, AND ENTERTAINMENT

WHEN COMING HERE, BRING GROUPS OF PEOPLE WITH YOU. THE MORE THE BETTER. YOU HAVE A CHOICE OF FLOOR SEATING AND IS CASUAL DINING. YOU CAN BRING YOUR OWN ALCOHOL, (THERE IS A LIQUOR STORE RIGHT NEXT STORE) NO CORKING FEE FOR WINE. THE FOOD IS GREAT. THE "OUT OF TOWNER" THAT WROTE THE BAD REVIEW DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT, THIS PLACE IS GREAT. I RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYBODY. BUT YOUNG KIDS I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. SUGGEST HAVING YOUR B-DAY PARTY HERE IT IS A BLAST. OH YA, BELLY DANCER WILL GRAB YOU AND DO A SWORD DANCE WITH YOU. OVERALL REALLY COOOOOL PLACE. GO
- Pros: EVERYTHING
- Cons: LITTLE PRICY (BUT YOUR OUT TO HAVE A GOOD TIME, RIGHT?)
Horrible food and expensive!
by mcksteve at Citysearch
I am not sure where the people ate that had reviewed this at 5 stars. We were from out of town and thought it would be cool to let our kids eat here since the ratings were high and a different experience.
"Cone Head" as he called himself was strange and kept trying to be funny, but we could barely understand him and when we could, continued to tell the same strange jokes repeatedly. Only one course we were served was good........order the chicken kabobs if you ever get stuck eating here. The lamb and meatballs seemed like dry, old costco frozen food with a bad sauce. With a combo meal for 2 you get a total of 5 - 1" meatballs and 6 chunks of what was supposedly lamb. The place was very expensive ($75) and we barely ate anything.....picked up a pizza at BJ's Brewery on the way back to the hotel ($18 and great).
Cone head continued to ask my wife how the food was and at the end she actually told him it was very dry. The response from Cone head is that we must not be familiar with lamb.......her response was that she loved lamb. Go to the Kabob house instead of this place.
The only part of the experience that was ok was the Belly Dancer. She was very nice and tried to teach my kids how to belly dance. She was the only saving grace here.
Just writing this review brings back that bad taste of their famous meatballs. I ate 2 and thought I would lose everything on my stomach from the taste. Not sure what I was thinking with the second one. My bad, and we will not ever make the mistake of eating there again.
I now know why there were no bad reviews.......the checker in this program doesn't allow some negative words, and will reject based on some that are not 4 letter!
- Pros: were seated promptly.........no one else was there on a Saturday night
- Cons: food was not good at all
