Lamb tibs done right

The lamb tibs came out sizzling and perfectly spiced. Asked for it spicy and they delivered. Authentic, generous, and fairly priced.

Warm, welcoming spot

Fresh, delicious, authentic! The staff made us feel at home and the coffee ceremony at the end was the perfect finish. We'll be back.
