Enjoyable new Middle Eastern restaurant in Laveen, Arizona. Nothing too fancy but a much needed addition to the community. I’ve only been there once but had the Kebab Sampler, Chicken Wrap, Hummus, and Baba Ganouch. Kebab meats were all tasty. Chicken was a little dry, but the beef was tender and flavorful. Can’t wait to try it in a gyro next time. The shining star is the chicken tandoori. Hummus was tasty too, with liberal amounts of olive oil and paprika. Baba ganouch was ok but not spectacular. I can’t wait to try the other dishes. I’ll add a photo of their menu to this. As far as the service, it is slow so plan a little time. I’ve heard they are a scratch kitchen so everything is fresh. They are kind and explain the menus and ingredients if you ask. It also looks like they will be doing buffets in the future which I’m looking forward to! They are a little rough around the edges as they are a new business. AC wasn’t working, they still needed a soda machine, they ran out of some dishes. But the food is good for the price point. For two people with two dishes and a side of baba ganouch, we came out spending 24 bucks including tip. Will go again!

Happy to be the First to review! To start this place used to be an ethnic grocery store, so when you walk in, it still sorta looks like a grocery store. Came in for dinner with my husband. Ordered the combo platter and falafel. The combo platter came with rice, side salad, tandoori chicken, kabob chicken, and traditional kabob meat. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. I really liked the kabob chicken but my husband really liked the tandoori. Neither of use cared for the traditional, but meal loaf/balls/kabob has never really been my favorite so go judge for yourself. I also really enjoyed the rice. The falafel was also very good, but I didn’t enjoy the sauce as much. The meal came with humus, garnished with chickpeas and a very yummy olive, and pita which was also tasty. We were even offered a refill of the humus! The place is clean but still transitioning from a grocery store. Unfortunately it was very hot as if there was no AC. This is a big issue that I hope is resolved. Service was fantastic! The owner seems to be waiter, cashier, and cook at the moment and he seemed to be doing everything better than I would expect! Wanted to order baklava but they were sold out. The owner says they make it daily and it sells out fast! I hope this place succeeds. I love local businesses and Laveen needs more food options. I would love to see them expand their menu a little and add salads or maybe see their demand grow and not have items sold out.
