As a Yemeni, I absolute loved this Syrian place. Reminds me of back home. Brilliant food, brilliant staff and brilliant service. I’m usually a picky eater but the mandi lamb with the rice and nuts was absolutely amazing. Very clean place as well. 100% coming will be coming back.Food: 5/5

Great food quality. A little on the pricier side. Service was good. Food came in quickly.

The food was okay, but unfortunately, the tajine was quite disappointing. The other dishes we ordered were decent, but nothing exceptional. The service was a mixed bag. Our server was friendly, but we felt pressured to order more food even though we had already ordered enough for our table. We appreciated their attentiveness, but it was a little too much at times. Not to mention charging extra for water which is typically free.

I went there with my family for Saturday buffet. And I am writing the review behalf of my family members. Firstly, the parking area in front of the restaurant was pretty dirty. If you are very particular about cleanliness then it might be a turn off for you and this will be your last visit. Now if I talk about the restaurant's interior, it was very cozy, the lighting, environment was festive. However I felt like the seating arrangements were not comfortable at all. If you have big family and need ten chairs then you need to seat in a place where four tables are back to back. So basically it was too much crowded and uncomfortable. But I have to admit the staff were very nice. They were taking good care of everyone. Made sure to provide water and other necessities were always present in our able. Now comes the food. I would give it 8 out 10. Though we were from different backgrounds we liked the Syrian cuisine. Only downside is the most delicious items were not getting refilled quickly. You have to wait at least 40 min to get refills for popular items. So make sure you have enough time to spare. Also if you have a sweet tooth then this buffet is not for you. Because they don't serve any dessert. The only dessert was fruit saladif you consider it as dessert. But the main courses were more.

Reservation issues!! Before talking about food I want to complain about the reservation system on that restaurant; One Sunday afternoon we call the restaurant and asked that do we need to make a reservation for dinner time; we were told we don’t need to make any reservations; however upon arrival we found that place was fully booked. We arrived around 6:30pm and we were told that around 7:30pm they can provide us seats. We waited outside and went in 7:25pm and found out the group that supposed to arrive after 7:30pm was given preference over us and were seated!!!! We waited another 20 minutes more; this is very inconvenient as we had kids with us and we got very late. Now, talking about foods. Foods are good and nice presentation, plus it’s a high end price for sure; good part is they do maintain the quality of foods. Lamb Mandy was delicious and I would highly recommend. The French fries were not so good as other Arabian restaurants. Salads were average but fresh so be mindful before ordering. Mixed platter was very satisfactory as the meats were tender and flavourful. Apart from the reservation mess the whole experience was very pleasant and enjoyable.

Amazing food! Amazing service! It was my first time trying Syrian food and it did not disappoint. Had their lamb with rice, salad and knafeh and it was so good! Their place gives a very warm feel and is beautifully decorated. Would highly recommend!Food: 5/5

I wasn't expecting a metre-long dish when we ordered the 1-metre kabab; I was worried we didn't order enough food, but now we're taking 2 containers to go amazing for what we paid! There was what my in-laws called a Sufi dance after the meal, and it was really neat! The atmosphere was really cool as well; they used dry ice to cause a fog/mist on each person's table and during the dance as well. This was a really fun experience, and we will definitely be coming here again! : Dietary restrictions: Everything is halal! Kid-friendliness: We brought our baby in her car seat and we were allowed to put it up on a ledge right next to us so that we could keep her as close to us as possible while we ate, without putting her on the table.

Good place to try out some traditional Syrian food. The food tasted good but the serving techniques were what I went there for. The portions and service could be improved a bit. The experience is a must try. Be mindful that they only have bottled water and do add a service charge.Food: 4/5

The food was incredible and the presentation was beautiful. Everything was very fresh, well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The lamb was our favourite. The portions were generous. Great service as well. Will definitely be going back.
