Like an oasis in the Sahara Desert, this restaurant stands out in Brooklyn's quiet Gravesend neighborhood as a spot where people can go for high quality food with exotic flavors and fragrances. In warm weather, patrons especially favor its attractive garden. A big, family-owned restaurant, it is decorated with interesting African and Middle Eastern wall hangings. Speared Shish Kebab, Adana Kebab and Beyti Kebab, plus Turkish lamb and chicken standards are popular, as is the falafel and phylo dough stuffed with Feta cheese.
