Reviews
Nawal was a lovely ambassador for our family at our first visit to her restaurant. She guided us through the menu, and the daily specials. She glowed with pride describing her award winning Moroccan Chicken dish, which I ordered with great anticipation. WOW, the Moroccan Chicken exceeded my expectations, and my tastebuds celebrated the delectable complexity. The spices were warm and savory, the meat moist and separated with a fork, and the veggies and fruit were stewed to perfection. This dish was served on a bed of plump saffron rice, which welcomed the stewed sauce. I'm so glad I got full on the combo platter with excellent grape leaves and hummus, so I get to have Moroccan chicken leftovers for tomorrow! Come visit Nawal's - I know we will be back!
We have been here 4 times now in the last couple of years. The first time I spoke with the owner and watched her make baklava. On one visit we brought my daughter and her family and watched (and danced with) the belly dancers from a local school. A lot of fun and the food each of us had was wonderful! On our last visit we brought an out of town guest. We arrived 15 minutes before closing and hating to keep them, since no one else was in the restaurant, I suggested we could come back some other time. The owner graciously insisted we stay and took her time with us. Again the food and service was great!
Very good authentic Mediterranean food! Love their gyros and desserts. Not sure if they are still catering, but we have had them cater for work occasions as well
The food here is authentic, full of flavor, fresh, and phenomenal! Nawal brings her roots into the cooking and is a fantastic host! And the decor is also authentic. We plan to stop by here every time we pass by Big Rapids on our way up north.
This is homemade food and the owners take pride and what they do you will not be disappointed. I love this place.
