“ My son had gotten carry out from here once so I tried it for lunch with a friend. You order at the counter and they bring your food out. On the cashier’s recommendation, we got the the first two items on the menu, Goat meat (Hilib Ari) and lamb shank. Both were very tasty and large portions - we could have split one entree. Service was fast and they checked in with us several times. It was Friday lunch and they warned us when we ordered that they would be closing to attend prayers. But they let us finish and pack our leftovers without bothering us. The setting is bright and orderly but nothing fancy. Location is on Tukwila International Boulevard not far from the light rail station so it’s an easy detour if you are headed to the airport or want to take an outing on the light rail. Definitely worth a visit! I need to explore the other entrees next time. ”
“ The Rice, Chicken and Goat family-size dish was very delicious and big enough. The spice tea was great with milk even without sugar for me, and with little sugar for my niece. The service was pretty good at the counter. They listened with patience as we tried to place the order when we didn't know what the dish was called. It's my go-to dish anytime I visit but I still didn't know what it's called at the time and still don't. The service from when we first got our tea, to when we got our plate, and even when we asked for smaller plates, extra spice and lemons was also great. Matter of fact, I've visited about 4 times before today since 2023 and, each time, the service and food were great. ”

Every bite of the food was bursting with flavor, cooked to perfection, and honestly? Finger-licking good! The dishes were not only delicious but beautifully presented. You can tell the chefs put real heart into their cooking. It felt like a mix of comfort food and fine dining all in one. I caught myself licking my fingers more than once—yes, it was that good! The service was just as amazing—warm, attentive, and welcoming. The staff made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves flavorful, satisfying food that leaves you craving more. I’ll definitely be coming back! ”
