Slackjawed Delicious!!! Unbelievable pleasure in every savory bite made for a dizzying culinary experience. The service was outstanding. I communicated with three employees, the individual who took my order, the shift manager and a roving young lady attending to the cleanliness of the restaurant. They all were happy, respectful and attentive. The food was outrageously good, bursting with flavor. I ordered the chicken tarna which came with salad, hummus, tahini sauce, garlic suace and two pitas. They also have hot sauce if you ask. Everything was high quality. I have a new favorite Middle Eastern place in the South Bay and it's called Zankou Chicken.
