They seemed to be very busy when we arrived and we were not greeted and it took a few minutes before anyone came to our table. But when we did they were friendly and the food was VERY delicious and so yes I will be going back for more.

Excellent Food! I believe it\'s the only fully halal joint in Charleston and very much welcomed. the number of items on the buffet is incredible, plus they give you a choice of grilled fish or meat or chicken they make separately as part of the buffet. Just the varieties in the buffet area will make you crazy. Oh, and the fresh bread coming out of the bake oven continuously is awesome. Very worth the price too.

This is one of the best buffets I have ever eaten in US. Cooking kabobs after the order is an especially bright idea which makes the kabobs tasty than any other buffets that doesn\'t do that.

This place recently became Halal so I went there yesterday with my wife. Buffet has lots of options including meat and vegetarian options. Everything we had was very tasty. The kebabs which are included in the price of the buffet are brought out separately to your table. You get two kebabs and you can mix and match from chicken, ground beef, lamb and steak. We chose ground beef, chicken and steak and they were all delicious. Overall a great place- excellent service, delicious food, clean, spacious, reasonable price.

Visiting from San Antonio TX came across this gem of a spot. I've lived and visited other parts of the world. Eaten a lot of Mediterranean style foods. Honestly wasn't expecting much but blown away on how much I enjoyed this simple meal of lamb kabob wraps and a side shrimp skewers. The complimentary appetizer plate and bread was a nice touch. The Turkish tea during the meal was good and finished with a great Turkish coffee. Highly recommend food and service was excellent. Yes, the atmosphere a little dated but don't let that deter you. The service is excellent both waitresses that served me were very friendly and attentive. I'll be back.

I ordered the beef kabob plate and a side of tzatziki sauce , every single food item on my plate was so flavourful!! I would definitely recommend and will obviously return. My total was 26.62.
