Small, family-owned Middle Eastern restaurant offers a warm, inviting atmosphere with a quiet, relaxing vibe. The space feels homey and intimate, decorated simply with silver tablecloths and unique salt and pepper shakers. It hosts gatherings up to 50 people with a special catering menu.

Afghan Burger comes as a wrap with layers of flavor, not a typical cheeseburger. White rice served alongside is savory and addictive despite its simple appearance.

Kebab patties offer flavorful meat without heavy spices. The gyro sandwich features tender meat paired with creamy tzatziki sauce. Hummus stands out as well.
