Such an amazing Middle Eastern restaurant! I can't say enough great things about this place! My mom and I eat here all the time and the food is never boring or unexciting, as well as the friendliness of the staff! Food is made fresh to order, the way it should be. You can taste the freshness as well as the many amazing flavors. I have lived in Israel and this place rivals the food (especially the hummus!) I am such a fan of this place and it is truly a hidden gem in Jacksonville. It is worth the drive and the wait for the delicious food experience 🤤

This is a very cozy neighborhood establishment, as opposed to more commercial places. It's family owned, and they are wonderful! The food is fantastic and always freshly prepared!

This was our first time coming to this restaurant and everyone was so welcoming and so kind. Great spot to do hookah and drink black tea ☕️ Good music and is very relaxing. Overall, great customer service. Big shoutout to Esla, she is very kind, and very helpful with helping us decide what to choose from the menu. Hadeel is also very sweet & outgoing. If you have a sweet tooth, do try the Znoud el sit (picture down below).
