Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in Saratoga

The food was excellent! Very nicely presented. Lamb appetizer was not crispy (which turned out to be a good thing because it was moist and delicious.) Labneh was extraordinary! Ordered a second helping. Brussels sprouts, halibut and cocktails were also great. (Noteworthy that the decaf coffee was also surprisingly tasty.) Our waiter, Marco, was a joy!! Personable, sense of humor, worked with requests/comments to make sure we had what we needed, complemented good food choicds and made suggestions where appropriate. Really fantastic! Only negatives were 1) multiple requests to eek out pita bread one at a time for our party of 5, and 2) an odd, slightly bleach/fishy smell of the restaurant. Highly recommend and we will return soon.

My friend celebrating her Bday, (my invitation) was very pleased and appreciative. The staff great! Service great as well. Both of us loved the place and plan to come. for tea. Carmen Johnson

Every thing we ordered was outstanding! Flavorful & worth reordering. Excellent & many vegetarian options for both!

I was in town visiting family for Christmas, all Assyrian immigrants from Iraq, who are very discerning when it comes to "good food." I've not been here in over 10yr, but it has always been my favorite restaurant. I brought the entire family for lunch on 12/26/24. Carlos was our waiter. We had a table of 14 that included three children under 4yr and three teenagers (who asked for I don't know how many refills). I know; we were a lot. The food was not only exceptional, it came out hot, and it came out quickly. Very impressive. I heard at least 4-5 relatives comment on the hummus being "next level," and let me tell you, that is a HUGE compliment from a family of amazing chefs. Carlos was just a wonderful, effcient, and patient server. I waited tables at the Crow's Nest when I was earning my teaching credential, so I know how hard serving a large (loud, needy) party can be, and he never missed a mark. (I hope you use him to train all your new servers).
