love the kababs, too many kids running the place, and they dont really care much about the customers... other than that... I give it a solid B+

I was really not impressed with this place. When i go to an arabic place, i want to have the arabic feel. The only "arabic" that was there was the shishas.. This place is also NOT HALAL, and I have to add that i have never been as insulted as I did when i went to this place. Here's the story: A group of us stayed outside while my dad went inside to ask one of the guys if the meat is halal, to which he said "NO". Two minutes later, when my dad came back out of the cafe to tell us the food is not halal, another arabic worker came out and gave each one of us the menus. My dad proceeded to tell him in arabic that we thought the meat was halal and it's not so we're leaving.. Guy: Sure it is! Dad: No it's not. Guy: It is.. Dad: No..the guy inside said it's not! Guy: Well, everybody buys their meat from Sam's and Kroger anyway... Dad: Well, if THEY do, we don't! Guy: This meat is all from God, just say Bismillah, and u can eat it! I dont understand how some Muslims can lie to your face about such a serious issue like that! If you want to eat it, go ahead, but tell the others the truth so they can make their own decisions!
