Big portions, quick service, clean environment, really great food, homey atmosphere, the wait staff were very pleasant, plenty of parking. Prices are very reasonable for good quality kosher meat.

Spent $200 for family of 10 -- ouch! The beef grill was fatty and chewy, and the Taboun mixed grill just mediocre. Exceptions were the kubeh and Moroccan cigars which were tasty. The shwarma is fair. Had been there once previously, and it was a...More

It's hard to get good Hummus in the USA but this place does it right. All the food we had (hummus plate with mushrooms, falafel, shwarma) was great. They didn't rush us at all and we sat there for two hours. Place was very busy...More

Tried this place several times. It seems like if you're not a regular they treat you differently. We asked for my wifes sandwich to exclude the wrap. She can't eat it, so why waste it? They couldn't eliminate the bread. "It is impossible to eliminate!"...More

Busy, crowded, vibrant dinner atmosphere. Quite impressive Kosher/Israeli/Morroccoan/Middle Eastern Appetizer Menu. Good pita sandwiches and kabob entrees. Consider splitting entrees given portions/dinner pricing, especially for kids.

There are a decent amount of choices but it's time to add some new variety. I get the impression that because there aren't many Kosher choices in the area they aren't overly motivated to keep raising the bar. Food is decent.

The food is always consistently good. I order lots of vegetarian salads they are always yummy. I also like the chicken thigh dinner. They can get really busy. That's because the secret is out that the food is so great!

Simply excellent food for anyone who likes middle eastern fare. Try the laffa sandwiches (instead of pita). Huge portions and delicious.
