This is such an awesome food stall in the Little Rock River Market. One of the best meals we had when visiting Little Rock. The food was fresh and very flavorful. We ordered three beef and lamb Gyros plates. Unfortunately since it was late afternoon, The person behind the counter said she only had enough gyro meat for two. No worries, we also got a sandwich from a not so great place. When we got our two plates, it was loaded. Think she could have stretched it to four plates. We appreciated that she did not skimp on her customers and provided a great value to the tasty meal. Next time in Little Rock, will definitely go back.

Stopped here on a long road trip and so glad I did. The food is incredible, if you want homemade with love flavor this is the place. It's a true gem This is the kind of food that I grew up eating and that I cook at home, but made the way my grandma would have made it. It's healthy, wholesome, comforting, and rare to find at a restaurant. We ordered a $10 plate of spinach stew with a side of grape leaves and one plate was enough to feed 2 adults and 2 little kids for a light lunch. But it was so good we went back for a second order which were quickly devoured. The grape leaves were some of the best I've had. The spinach stew was perfectly balanced and filling without being heavy. The woman working at the restaurant was so sweet and made the experience even better. Thank you for the amazing meal and warm hospitality.

Delicious, authentic Arabic food. Obaida was so nice, we struck up a conversation and she wanted to give me my meal on the house. I couldn't accept, I had to support this spot. Great hospitality, great food. Vegan option (spinach and chickpea over rice) was amazing.

Food was sooo good! Came here on a whim because it sounded good but I wasn't sure what to order since I don't eat middle eastern food very often. The owner was very nice and helped me figure out what I like. I had the eggplant stew with rice and okra and eggplant dip for my 2 sides. The okra side dish is fantastic!
