Food is amazing, felt like home and the customer service was really good. I ordered the grilled halloumi sandwich, Grandma's breakfast and the cheese overdose bread. Everything tasted authentic and was made fresh. I didn't have to wait too long for the food. Definitely recommend the Semsem drink to pair with breakfast foods.

Oh my gosh! The food was fresh and so tasty. The service exceptional. If I lived in Ottawa I would be a regular. Also the prices are crazy good.

Excellent flavours! We did takeout and the Cheese Sunflower is probably the best middle eastern pastry we’ve ever had (and I’m middle eastern…I’ve had a lot)The Zaatar Crust was also great when fresh, or, if you leave it for later, warming it up will restore its glory.Lovely staff; the lady came and chatted with us while waiting for our order, all smiles.

Lovely Middle Easter breakfast and brunch spot! Really good quality food and tasty. Great coffee too! Somethings that could be better is the soujuk as didn’t have much taste and some of the food could use a bit more salt, and more attentive service - other than that, fantastic!One other thing, not a fan of the paper plates and plastic cutlery, but understand the need for it during pandemic times.

Firstly, the place is small so reserve before hand. We were seated fairly quickly when we arrived and were advised there’s a 1.5 hour limit.SemSem Coffee comes served with whip cream and sesame seeds. That was different but tasty.We ordered a variety of different dishes from Fattheh with Yogurt which was a large serving and tasty. The shakshuka was cooked to perfection I just wish there was more base. We also tried a meat dish which was my favourite. The fried halloumi cheese was what you expect. The beans with veggies is made in olive oil, it was rich in natural flavour.The service was good, they were busy even for a weekday so we had to wait a little. Overall, recommend checking out.

The food is fresh, authentic and tases great! The best Lebanese/Palestinian breakfast I've had in a long time. The owner serves you and seems it's a family business, which explains why it is so good and authentic.
