Delicious, plentiful and affordable: a combination that is rare at most restaurants but you'll find at Nazareth. From the 2nd most populous country in Africa, comes a small restaurant with 1st world cuisine. I came here with 3 others on a UYE.

This restaurant made me a sushi lover. I'm really used to eating at sushi restaurants that are uptown which turned me off sushi altogether. I came here for lunch and I had the lunch special. Luckily, I got here before 2:30 (2:25) so the lunch special…More »

This takes me back to my university days. Pita Pit has always been there to satisfy my hunger. Now I'm no longer in school, but it's still as good. This location is close to my work, so I go here often.

I usually get the Buffalo Fling or the Philly…More »

I got these people to build a deck in my parent's backyard. They did a great job. What we envisioned and drew on paper, they built it. The deck looks as we imagined it would. They didn't cut corners, were really friendly and cleaned up after. They…More »
