    I gave them five stars because of the sample place but the very good food came, I tested the grills it was very tasty and juicy, and I tested Fawargh or Mombar which were very good. My family enjoyed of launch there. Definitely, I will return and test the rest of the menu.

    Amazing food! Great people! Very welcoming! I was so happy and felt like back home (iraq). The portions are big and the people are very hospitable and generous! We came to Edmonton from Calgary and our aim wasn't here, however, we came by coincidence and it was the best in my opinion! Highly recommended

    If you are a fan of charcoal grills, this place would be the hidden gem of Edmonton for you. Absolutely amazing kebabs, smoky flavor, and very good service. A nice little family run restaurant that is totally worth the visit.

    We had an amazing dinner here, great flavours and very generous portions. The price cannot be beat, two of us shared a mix platter and left with a big box of leftovers! We also really enjoyed the service, down to earth and friendly. Just visiting from out of town and so glad we chose here
