Ahmed. A the server where incredible. My kids and I love this guy. The Boba drink is very famous and Ahmed know how to talk with my kids, but all that kind of drinks. I feel very happy and uncomfortable with her.. Also explain the menu and immediately point what we need. He also said, bring his box and box so we can take the food with home In the 80s, he suggest a sweets and a tea and serve it with happiness and professionalism The food is 90 % but Ahmed is 110 %
This new restaurant offers two concepts under one roof, sharing a single kitchen. The customer service was excellent—our server was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. We ordered the combo platter for two, which includes six different types of meat and is served with two dipping sauces: tahini and toum (garlic sauce). The tahini was a bit underwhelming and could have used more tangy, savory flavor to better complement the meats. The toum, however, was outstanding—rich, creamy, and full of garlic flavor. Among the meats, the beef and chicken shawarma were slightly dry, while the kofta and lamb tikka were flavorful and enjoyable. The creamy chicken chop was also quite good. The standout dessert was the pistachio ice cream. It features a scoop of pistachio ice cream coated in crushed pistachios and topped with pistachio cotton candy. It was both visually impressive and absolutely delicious. The Vietnamese side of the restaurant offers bánh mì, which had good flavor but wasn't quite authentic. Traditional Vietnamese bánh mì is typically served on a light, crispy French baguette and includes pickled carrots and fresh cucumber. While this version differed from the classic preparation, it was still enjoyable. The beef vermicelli bowl was decent, though the beef would have been more flavorful if it had been chargrilled in the traditional Vietnamese style. The chicken and rice was also good overall, but the chicken was slightly on the salty side. The avocado shake was pretty good. The dining space is inviting, with a unique and welcoming atmosphere, and the overall aesthetic of the restaurant is beautifully designed.
So excited that this place opened! We will definitely be regulars here. The food is very good, service (Ahmed!) is attentive, and the atmosphere is nice. This restaurant is shared with Chill Zone and it has a unique layout. The upstairs “loft” is a sit down restaurant and the other side if more of a casual cafe for people to work/chat and sip on drinks.
