The meal I ordered seemed to be made in bulk, and the waiter recommended it to everyone, likely to get it sold. The meat was quite dry and not as flavorful as I’d hoped, and the chicken was overly fried, which wasn’t what I was after either.
The waiter handed me the menu but only mentioned what they didn’t have after I was ready to order, and it felt like he’d said the same thing too many times that day. They also kept changing the music, and for a few seconds at a time it would suddenly blast at full volume, which made the atmosphere a bit jarring.
The overall “Palestinian” vibe also felt somewhat inauthentic so if you’re visiting in solidarity, you might notice nuances that make you second-guess the experience.
That said, the ice cream at the end was excellent, and the falafel was genuinely delicious - I wish I’d ordered two portions.
All in all, it feels like more of a tourist trap than an authentic spot. I wouldn’t go back, but if you’re in a bind, you could certainly do worse.
