Wow, this place is so good! This was our first visit and we loved it! My husband got the Coco Loco which was stunning and he highly recommends it. I got the chicken shawarma wrap and it was perfect. It was exactly what I wanted. We also got the churro bites with vanilla ice cream (no pic because we annihilated it immediately) which we really enjoyed. Service is great, our waitress was attentive and the manager came to check in with us. Will definitely come back!

I was invited here with a couple local friends who live in San Diego. The owner welcomed us warmly as I think they know my buddies very well. We had a good table not close to the stage which good so we do not get deaf by the loud music . The services was great as the waitresses keep checking on us. The appetizers were delicious and the main course of different meats on a wood tray was looking and tasted fabulous. They had at least 2 singers there plus the belle dancer who made the environment nice. I know some ppl had bad experience from the reviews I read, but mine was outstanding and great.

I recently visited this Mediterranean restaurant and I was blown away by the amazing food and atmosphere. The portions were generous and everything tasted absolutely delicious. If you're looking for a satisfying meal that won't leave you feeling hungry, this is definitely the place to go. What really sets this restaurant apart is the entertainment they provide. They have a singer perform almost every weekend, which adds a fun and lively atmosphere to the dining experience. It's a great place to come with friends and family for a night out. Another highlight of this restaurant is their $40 buffet that's available Thursday to Sunday during Ramadan. While the selection of dishes was good, I did feel that the price was a little on the high side considering the limited selections they have in the buffet. However, the quality of the food more than made up for it. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly and accommodating. They were happy to explain the different dishes on the menu and offer recommendations based on our preferences. Overall, I highly recommend this Mediterranean restaurant for anyone looking for a great meal and a fun night out. Whether you're a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine or just looking for something new, this place is definitely worth a visit.
