This is best place to go if you have constipation. You get diarrhea – guarantied! Beside diarrhea, as a part of fun package, you will receive heartburn and terrible service.
I found this restaurant to have poor service. Slow and rude. won’t visit this place again. Beyond disappointing and a waste of our time and cash.
Stay away!! Unless you want to give your money to support an owner who is vocal about hating Jews and wishing for another Holocaust!!! Put this terrorist out of business!!Here’s the proof: m.imgur.com/a/clE1G
This place will make you sick. If you want good food and a good atmosphere stay away from here. The owner is disgusting and it reflects In the resteraunt.

Musakhan- Chicken & Sumac -. Musakhan is a very simple dish to prepare, that can definately be described as comfort food. For me, Musakhan means Grandma, roots, early childhood, and home. So for me it doesn’t get any better.Musakhan belongs to the Palestinian Cuisine, where originally it was prepared by peasants & farmers to kind of test and celebrate their produce – mainly Olive Oil. They say that a good Grade Olive Oil Musakhan can never cause heart burn. If it does, then the quality of Olive Oil isn’t good. Also imprtant to Musakhan preparation is the quality of Summac, which lends a sour-like flavour.Musakhan is usually made using ‘Taboon Bread’, a thick and bubbled bread that peasants used to prepare at home. The bread is supposed to be simple to prepare using the ‘Traditional Oven’ available at most houses back in the day. They also used to prepare it using their own home-raised hickens that used to run around their front yard (our modern translation is Free Range) 🙂 Nowadays, industrial bakeries prepare this bread, which people buy ready to eat. Although it is ideal to use Taboon Bread, it is not found everywhere; like here in Dubai it is hard to get hold of Taboon Bread, so you can substitute with ‘Shrak Bread’ a wafer thin bread, found in most supermarkets, and occasionally at lebanese markets. Shrak Bread is traditionally used with Mansaf as well.For reparing the ChickenYou Need1 whole Chicken, Cut into 4 pieces1 large onion, quartered2 cloves garlic crushed2 Bay Leaves3 Whole Cloves3 Cardamon Seeds, lightly crushed5 Black Pepper CornsSalt & Black PepperJuice of 1/2 lemonFor Preparing Musakhan500g Onions, thinly sliced1/4 cup SummacSalt & Black Pepper1 cup Chicken Broth1/4 cup Olive Oil1/2 cup toasted Pine Nuts4 Taboon bread rounds or Shrak breadStart by Cooking the Chicken to make some broth as well. You can either roast the chicken, and collect the juices (which is my preferred way for preparing chicken for Musakhan) or you can use the same method for making chicken broth to get the broth and cook the chicken.Here is how you can make the chicken broth,Clean your chicken pieces, and rub them with lemon juice. Set aside. Sweat the onion, & Garlic in a drizzle of olive oil, until translucent bt not browned. Add chicken pieces, and stir. Add spices & Seasoning and stir all to coat. Top with water and cook till chicken is cooked through.Remove from heat. Separate the meat from broth (reserving the broth). Place chicken pieces in a baking dish, brush tops with a little vegetable oil and set Aside
