My date (who is Afghani) introduced me to this place last night. I love middle eastern food so I was down to try a new restaurant.
The decor/atmosphere is very casual, nothing spectacular. It's nice that they serve beer and wine. The food was good (I…More »

I saw the menu online for this place and couldn't wait to check it out. I love Fashion Valley mall, so I figured it had to be a decent restaurant. They've cut down on the need for a wait staff by putting a computer at your table... so basically you…More »
