I rarely leave public reviews but felt that this place deserves it Very personable owner and amazing food. The humus was the best I've had in a while, super creamy and delicious. Also tried the baba ganush and the falafel. Everything tasted amazing.

Ahmad was very friendly and helpful with working out our order. We did take out and he even brought us a little sample while we waited. The lemon pepper chicken wings were cooked to perfection. The whole meal was delicious and reasonably priced. Would go back in a heart beat, if we only lived here. Don't be fooled by the industrial area he is tucked away in, there is lots of seating and great for take out or delivery.

What a Gem of a restaurant! I wish I would have known about this place sooner. The owners are so friendly and kind, the food I can’t even described how good and fresh it is, the flavours are just perfect! I wish this business all the best. Very kid friendly too it’s been a nice little lunch spot this past month. Don’t think about it and try it out!

First time eating medditeranian(?) food. Absolutely amazingly flavored chicken and potatos. Was definetly not rewarded with a suprise brownie at the end. Fantastic recomendations by the kind gentleman working there- would absolutely give it a shot if you have never been!

What a delightful discovery.. tidy, welcoming eatery tucked back in an industrial area. DELISH food, friendly staff, plenty of parking. Daily specials listed on a whiteboard, including homemade ice cream! I'll definitely be going back.

Wow, this place is a hidden gem! Tucked away in the Industrial area off of Merivale road. The food and service was outstanding. Highly recommend. We tried the chicken souvlaki plate- chicken was tender, juicy and tasty. The platter came with yellow rice pilaf, roasted potato pieces, Greek salad and tzatziki. Definitely a wholesome meal. Chef gave us some of his delicious home made hot sauce to try and it was yummy!
