Last night, some of us went here. It was my first time. Unsurprisingly, everyone else had been here at least several times. I’d been inside before, to see the decorating – I was shown by the guy who decorated the stage area and where we sat last night. I was told that the food was average, but I didn’t have any complaints. I don’t know how anyone could screw up kibbe sharjia and kabab halabi, though. At least not here. In the States, sure.
They had entertainment last night. Sadly, not the Darweesh (which I’ve been told only gig during Ramadan – sadly, I was told that afterwards). Last night, it was just some guy singing with his backup band of one. We didn’t stay too long because someone fell ill, but it was still enjoyable. Considering that that may well have been my last restaurant experience in Aleppo (I don’t count Arabica or al-Attar), it was happiness.

It seems you enjoyed our food, I believe that Aleppo has the most great meals in world wide, cause our kitchen is a mix from west, east, north and south.
looking for your visit again to Aleppo.

I love Middle Eastern food in general. I’ve eaten so much of it in the States, you’d think I could tell if Aleppo truly has the best food (as it claims), but I can’t. It’s always delicious, though, and certainly better than the food I had in Turkey which wasn’t bad – just “eh”.
