It was my first time coming to this restaurant but believe me I don't regret even a little,The moment I stepped in this restaurant with a friendly welcoming smile from Imteyaz I predicted that my breakfast will be superb. He is incredibly friendly, attentive, and caring. He made sure I was comfortable the entire time and paid attention to every detail without even being asked. His service was genuine and professional, and he truly made my visit special. Staff like him are rare he deserves recognition. Highly recommended!..Big thanks to Imteyaz,great server (GOAT)

First time visit and I am impressed with their quality and quantity. It was an amazing experience with very polite and professional service. They are happy to help in anyway possible. He explained the menu and recommended dishes as per my request. I order meat plate with hummus and in the end finished with some sort of tea which was absolutely amazing and I was blown away with it. Will surely visit this place again on my next visit.

I came to eat the Meat Shawarma platter with hummus, and it was fantastic. This was my first time eating at the restaurant, and first time eating Syrian food as well, it was a wonderful experience. The food was wonderful, and the service was quite professional. I am very satisfied

Spacious seating area that’s perfect for groups and families, though it can get quite busy and noisy during peak times. The lively atmosphere adds to the authentic dining experience but might not be ideal if you’re looking for something quiet. The highlight, however, is definitely the food, delicious, well-seasoned and true to traditional flavors. If you’re craving hearty Middle Eastern dishes in a casual setting, this place won’t disappoint.

If i can give them 4.5 stars I would. The food was excellent and the hospitality was wonderful. The only reason i knocked off half a star is because we never received our appetizer and our side order came out after we had finished our main meal. We ordered one beef and chicken shawerma and a side of fries and all was great. Even though we spoke conversational arabic with them, i can see the language barrier being an issue for some tourists. If i am ever in the area again, I would definitely be back, especially how the prices are amazing.

We walk along the street of al rigga with my wife searching for sumptous food. And here we go🥰🥰 we stopped over here in this branch. The food is irresistible. Fresh, cook well and serve with its finest way and excellent. We assisted by Hani and Imtiaz they were great and give the best shot to serve us in an excellent way. Most of all love the ambience since the cooling breeze in Dubai is approaching. My wife and I so happy to eat in this branch we love so much the service most especially the food they served. Keep it guys! Praying to allah that this food chain will expand more and more.🥰🥰🥰🥰🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🙏🙏🙏

Very good food! Had an Arabic shawarma, Hommus and an avocado juice. Prices are reasonable, the service is good and there’s a good amount of seating.
