  Really liked this place! We ordered the chicken stacos, fries, and a beef rice bowl. Everything was fresh and tasted really good.The chicken soft tacos were my favorite. The chicken was flavorful, and the squeeze of fresh lime made them even better. I also liked that they have different sauces on the table, so you can try different flavors with your tacos.The fries were nice and crispy, and the beef rice bowl was tasty and filling. The portions were good too.The staff were friendly and the service was fast. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend giving it a try.

  I ordered birria tacos to go and it was delicious. It’s really difficult to find restaurants that make it well/right but this spot nailed it perfectly! I’m also a first timer but will definitely be coming back. Love to see that they cater to a larger demographic with their halal options too!

  The food is good , but the service needs work, why i put my own order in and i do my own service all they do is just cook the food(which im pretty sure they get payed for already and they still ask for tip at the end??. I asked to use the bathroom and they said it was out of service, i get it, but out of service all the time after a certain hour?? And then i asked them to check if my order was ready she went to the back and the order that was sitting there for almost 20 min and i saw the cooks telling her to stop playing around and get to work, if they dont want to work, get new workers. Simple as that

  Lesly was a great host and the food was great. They offer flour tortillas, just make sure to add it to your order details. We had the chicken tacos and chicken bowl which was everything that we expected plus sour cream for the tacos. Highly recommend!!

  Dear Ownership / Senior Management, I am reaching out regarding a disappointing experience at your West Village location on Monday, June 1st, at approximately 8:40 PM (order #S078, approximately $76.84). I am writing in the sincere hope that someone responsible for the restaurant will review what occurred and contact me directly. This is particularly disappointing for me because I had previously visited your restaurant, enjoyed both the food and hospitality, appreciated the halal options, and even left a positive review afterward. That prior experience is exactly why I chose to bring my wife and toddler (under two years old) back during our time together in New York. Unfortunately, this visit was overshadowed by what I can only describe as deeply unprofessional treatment from the person who identified himself as the manager on duty that evening (I may have overheard the name “Andy” or “André,” but I am not certain and do not wish to state that as fact). Upon arriving, the available seating was very tight for a family with a toddler, so I politely asked whether there might be a slightly larger table and explained that we were happy to wait. While waiting, my wife politely asked another group of guests whether it would be alright if we sat beside them temporarily. To be clear, these guests had already finished eating — their meals were completed, and they were simply sitting together talking after dinner. They were incredibly kind and voluntarily offered to rearrange slightly to make room for our family. Shortly afterward, the manager approached us and accused us of “moving regular customers” and questioned why we had “moved his customers.” This was confusing and embarrassing, particularly because the guests had already completed their meal, voluntarily offered to help us, and no complaint had been made by anyone. I respectfully responded, “Are we not customers too?” What troubled me most was not a disagreement over seating, but the tone and conduct. Rather than helping de-escalate a harmless situation, the interaction felt confrontational, dismissive, and unnecessarily hostile. Later, I also experienced an unnecessarily confrontational interaction when I simply asked whether I could wash my hands while the restroom was marked out of order. Afterward, when I asked whether there was someone above him I could speak with, I was told there was nobody else to contact and no contact information was provided. Even after we sat down, our table remained dirty while nearby tables were cleaned. The cumulative effect of these interactions materially affected our evening. We had cancelled another dinner reservation because I genuinely believed this would be a restaurant my family would enjoy based on my previous experience. Instead, what should have been a pleasant family meal became uncomfortable enough that I could not properly enjoy the experience or meal. I also found it concerning that after the guests who had kindly accommodated us left the restaurant, the manager appeared to go outside and continue discussing the situation with them, which only reinforced the sense that this was being escalated unnecessarily. I want to be clear that I am not exaggerating events or adding details. I am simply asking that this be reviewed fairly and professionally. There should be security camera footage between approximately 8:40 PM and 9:15 PM that objectively reflects the interaction. I would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to speak directly with someone from ownership or senior management regarding this experience and better understand how situations like this are expected to be handled. Sincerely, Younes Bichri
