A favorite middle-eastern place in the city, and BYOB. A bit of a wait on the weekends. Combo appetizer plate is so good - stuffed grape leaves, tabbouleh, baba ghannouj, and my favorite hummus anywhere. The beef and lamb kabobs are great- they always cook them just to your liking. Chicken fattoush salad with toasted pita is another go-to. The standard rice is even good here - fluffy and buttery.
We order take-out here for my office. Everything here is fine - good service and good Thai standards. They have a basil, eggplant and oyster sauce dish that is somehow out-of-this-world good, and not as delicious anywhere else.

Rolls were just okay. Nothing very memorable about this place, except how the server insulted me: We like to order as we go, and at the end he came by and said "are you FINALLY full?" This was shockingly funny but not the thing to say to any woman dining anywhere on the planet. Go elsewhere for your sushi fix.
Food was okay and each plate was a bit more expensive than some other places, which can add up. I love paella and this one was not everything I was hoping for. White wine sangria was very tasty.
