Good food, good prices, fast service. The menu has a few vegetarian options that were pretty good! The service was fast and courteous. The waiter gave me a good explanation of the menu and helped me pick the right lunch. It was an overall good experience and the food tastes great!

Just tried this restaurant for the first time. Asked the man to suggest a non-dairy dish. Got some wonderfully spiced chicken, the greatest rice with a cinnamon-type flavor I have had in years, crisp lettuce, sweet potatoes, etc. in a box to go. Incredible, subtly spiced taste to all. Incredible sambusa! My new favorite place to eat at when we come here for soccer games. Wonderful service, too!
