Kind of bland. The serving size was really good especially for a lunch portion, but the food had no flavor. I felt like they forgot to season it. The chicken was also very dry. The only part that I liked was the Baba ghanoush. It had a great smoky flavor.
The service was also off for me. They were nice, but it still seemed like they weren't sure what they were doing. I'm not sure if this is just apart of starting a new restaurant, but this place definitely fell short for me.
The tables had a pizza/Italian/chicken finger menu, so it really through me off when they gave me the other one. -

This was Ali baba grill about 3 months ago and they were stupendous with all the yummy items. It just has a new name . Everything is the same and still so delicious. I ordered the lamb shank and that was scrumdiddlyumptious, so tender and packed full of flavor. My husband ordered the lamb kabsa and that was full of very aromatic spices such as nutmeg cinnamon allspice it was absolutely a delight. We also had the tabbouleh that was fresh and crisp and a cabbage salad that was very fresh and crisp also with a wonderful dressing the hummus was nice and creamy and just plain delicious. At the end we did get an itemized receipt and that was much appreciated. All 5 star's! Love this place.!!!!!!!

If I would give 0 star I would, it's the worst place to go ever. Open hours are till 10 pm, we got there at 9, and were waiting till server comes to us with menus, but he was keep serving other customers, we waited 15 minutes, we went to him and asked if we ever going to receive menus at least, but he said us that they already closed?! He wasn't able to come and mention it before?! What kind of service is that? What kind of place says that opens till 10pm and closes at 9 without even mentioning? Don't waste your time coming there!

Man, I hate to be the scrooge around the holidays, but this place could be a lot better. I'll certainly allow for the fact that we visited on Christmas Eve, and that's always a dicey time to eat out because places tend to be short-staffed. But if you're going to be open, you've got to have your act together. Out of the six of us that went, I'd say I was the only one satisfied with my meal. I got the lamb kabsa, which was quite flavorful with the rice and vegetable mix (more veggies please) and tender meat. But everyone else reported that their various meats were dry and plain. So maybe I just ordered the best dish on the menu? Also our waiter, though very friendly, had to come back twice to check our order and make sure he'd written it down right (he had not), and then after all that, they were out of one of the items we'd ordered. So all told, the experience wasn't great, even allowing for the time of the visit. I'd like to see them stick around, because there have been several restaurants at this address over the past few years, but so far, not so good. Hoping they improve.
