I’ve visited this restaurant more than a dozen times and have also ordered delivery through Grab just as often. My experience has been consistent enough that I feel comfortable sharing a fair and honest review — especially since some of the negative comments I’ve seen seem more rooted in cultural bias or personal rather than actual dining experiences.
Pros:
I’ve only ordered hummus and falafel here. While I’m not a certified expert of these dishes , I’ve eaten both dishes hundreds of times in various countries because I genuinely love them. In every place I’ve tried them, the recipes were different — as they should be. Each chef adds their own touch, and this restaurant is no exception. Just because it doesn’t taste like what your grandmother made doesn’t mean it’s not hummus or falafel — it’s just a different version.
The portion sizes are fair and satisfying — not too much, not too little.
I really appreciate that they bake their own bread in-house. It adds a handmade, personal feel to the meal. I do wish they offered more variations in bread quality, including perhaps a gluten-free option.
Each time I’ve visited — at different times of the day — I’ve been greeted quickly, handed a menu without delay, and received my food fast. The service flow is solid.
The restaurant doesn’t advertise itself as belonging to any specific country’s cuisine. Some negative reviews seem overly nationalistic or territorial. In today’s global food scene (it’s 2025, after all), fusion and reinterpretation are part of the culinary world. If someone’s bringing your home-country dish to a different part of the world, that should be seen as a compliment — not a threat. Or better yet, open your own spot instead of nitpicking someone else’s.
Cons:
On several occasions, special requests were either misunderstood or ignored. This may be due to language differences, but it’s worth noting if you have specific needs.
The restroom and the path to the restroom could use more frequent cleaning or a bit of an upgrade to feel more hygienic and welcoming.
On a recent visit, a new admin or manager was a little over-insistent in pointing out menu items. It felt unnecessary. I can read and choose what I want without pressure.
Despite a few small drawbacks, I enjoy coming here from time to time for some good hummus and falafel in the middle of Chiang Mai. The food is tasty, the portions are fair, and it’s always nice to have a familiar comfort food option in a foreign place.
Cheers!
