What people say
★★★★★
"The zaatar tastes like home. Crisp edge, generous oil, and they bake it while you wait. We stopped buying frozen manakeesh."
★★★★★
"Brought a 24-piece tray to the office. Half zaatar, half cheese. Still warm. Everyone asked where it came from."
★★★★★
"Knafeh served hot with extra pistachio. Stretchy cheese, not too sweet. The best I’ve had outside Nablus."
★★★★★
"Spinach fatayer for the kids, meat sfeeha for us, pita for later. This is our Friday stop now."
