My family came here to eat after days of fun in the water park! The food here was delicious and filling. There was food enough to impress vegans and meat eaters alike. The service was charming and excellent. The atmosphere is inviting and the music sounded like their hometown. We enjoyed the whole experience.

One of my favorite restaurants in the Lehigh valley. Very sweet owner, excellent service. Food is fresh and top notch. Dinner for 2 is an excellent choice for a date night. Great lunch spot as well, falafel and shawarma sandwiches are delicious.

My friend and I popped in for some grape leaves and baklava. The atmosphere is really cozy and the owners make you feel at home. All of the desserts looked amazing, but the baklava was so delicious, it was some of the best I've ever had. I can't wait to come back for a meal!

Delicious homemade Mediterranean food!!! The owners are delightful, and I can’t believe I’ve missed this hidden gem very time I’ve searched for Mediterranean food in the valley! Small quaint place. A little warm on a hot summer day, but worth the enjoyment of it! We all had lamb dishes... Mine was a salad, topped with lamb kebab, which included roasted vegetables. My dining mates, had a lamb burger & Lamb, Shawarma wrap. They finished with apricot cream, pie and baklava and coffee. All supper yummy!!!

Peaceful restaurant with freshly made food served quickly. I split the pie sampler with my girlfriend. She had the shwarma and I had the shish kabob. All for just under 25!

My partner and I had a beautiful dinner here last weekend. We got the “dinner for two” and loved everything. The food was delicious, we chose the spinach and feta pies and the chicken and beef kebabs. Dessert and Turkish coffee was the best. Our server and the restaurant were very nice. Thanks!

My wife and I were in town for the day. What a wonderful experience! We had the hummus appetizer, lamb burger, lamb kabobs, tea and Arabic coffee and the chocolate peanut butter pie. The food was delicious!Our server was super polite and helpful. We appreciated the time he and his aunt spent with us to recommend places we could go to enjoy the Christmas lights in addition to other things.
