Die besten orientalischen Restaurants in Sunnyvale

I was in town visiting family for Christmas, all Assyrian immigrants from Iraq, who are very discerning when it comes to "good food." I've not been here in over 10yr, but it has always been my favorite restaurant. I brought the entire family for lunch on 12/26/24. Carlos was our waiter. We had a table of 14 that included three children under 4yr and three teenagers (who asked for I don't know how many refills). I know; we were a lot. The food was not only exceptional, it came out hot, and it came out quickly. Very impressive. I heard at least 4-5 relatives comment on the hummus being "next level," and let me tell you, that is a HUGE compliment from a family of amazing chefs. Carlos was just a wonderful, effcient, and patient server. I waited tables at the Crow's Nest when I was earning my teaching credential, so I know how hard serving a large (loud, needy) party can be, and he never missed a mark. (I hope you use him to train all your new servers).

Excellent small plates: some new ones on the menu, and the old favorites too. I quibble with the wine prices…pretty high, and not very generous pours. But SUCH great food!

All the dishes were great. We tried the Prix Fixe menu for lunch. Good selection to choose from.

Great place for a meal with friends or family. The dishes are well prepared and taste fantastic. I’m going back soon.

Always good, but lately it’s been great. New chef? Not sure what’s different but excellent dinner tonight and a couple weeks ago.
