    Food was authentic and delicious. The atmosphere was so cute, I always love listening to running water in the background as it's very relaxing. Booths and chairs were comfortable. We had hummus, mnskhan, lamb chops, and knafa. The hummus was smooth and very tasty. The mnskhan and lamb were delicious and tender. The knafa was such a great pick me up on a cold day, it was perfectly soft, sweet, and hot. Customer service was great. Will definitely be making the trip to return!

    What a gem of a place. Great Palestinian food and amazing vibe. Everything was executed pretty well. I will say some dishes were better than others but if you want authentic food, this place has it. Unfortunately the service a little slow

    Very friendly family- Muhammad was an excellent server- prompt- the food was excellent especially Malfoof - very hard to find Malfoof loved they had it in the menu. Tabbouleh was disappointing- bland taste and bitter. Overall a great Palestinian restaurant in Washington DC. Highly Recommend- Next time will get the spicy sausage and Kifta. Great variety of menu items.
