01/28/26 As a student, it is accessible and near our school, it is well-ventilated and cool, however for the price and portion of the food it's actually quite small and lacks a bit of flavor compared to other similar restaurants I've tried. We only had the beef biryani and it's good try it. Beef Biryani -280php

Superb food. I was a permanent visitor when i was at SLU 2018, and this is still great even in 2025 as i visited again. This food is amazing, cook is syrian and a great guy. Management is great, and food is the best you can find in baguio if looking for Middle Eastern cuisine.

Tasty and consistent - we've tried everything on the menu! Kudos to the owner for ensuring quality control. He works so hard! The food is always consistent—literally always well-cooked, always tastes the same, always great. Some personal faves: the crispy chicken sandwich, because nothing beats that crisp surrounded by veggies and a soft wrap (eat while hot); the large order of shish when you need protein; and the beef kofta—small but mighty, always with green salad for fiber. Seriously, though, you can't go wrong with anything.
