My husband and I have been waiting for this place to open for a month. We love this type of food, and of course, exploring new places. Overall, this isn’t a bad place to eat. The food is pretty good, and the staff is very nice. My husband evaluates these types of places for a living. Through his work, I’ve learned a few things that make me somewhat critical of eating establishments. Having said that, let me give you the reasons that they lost two stars with me… First off, out of the 3 – 4 people cooking and working with food in the kitchen, only one had his covered. The others just wore nothing to cover or contain their hair. They also didn’t wear any gloves. I watched one young man reach up and wipe his bare hand on his tshirt. Secondly, the service is very slow. When you pay at the register, you are issued a number that will be called out when your order is ready. We were in the lower 180s, but they called for other numbers up into the 190s, very out of order. No big deal, but it kind of leaves those of us waiting a bit annoyed. Third, I ordered two appetizers for my meal. I ordered babaghanouj(eggplant dip) and kibi(beef and cracked wheat, fried). The dip comes with bread to eat it, but they only give you just enough for maybe half your dip, and that’s piling it onto your bread slices. When I asked for more, they charged me a buck. Niiiiice. Fourth, my kibi arrived loooooooong after all our other food was eaten. They’d forgotten to add it to my order, and had to make it, which took another term of forever. Finally, the bill is outrageous. For a place that sends you to a cashier to order, then calls out a number for you to come pick up your food, they have some nerve charging $ 19 for a sampler plate. So, to wrap up my novel here, the food is tasty, but expensive, and the service is still working out some kinks in the health and speed area. Stick to Yia Yia’s… they’ve got this all down to a science.
