This restaurant serves up some of the best middle eastern fare in Manhattan. They are known for their sour cherry rice and it is delicious! They also have almond rice and dill rice and I always have a hard time trying to decide which one to get. All of the kebobs are grilled perfect and the appetizer dip combo is very complete wtih yogurt and cucumber dip, hummus, baba, etc. Get ready to be very full!
