Felt like I stepped into a small family’s home to eat dinner. The restaurant is family-run and it seems like their family and friends hang out there to eat, it’s quite cute. Our server might

This small halal restaurant is owned and run by a family. The ever-smiling sweet lady who served us did not speak English at all, but her demeanour was very warm and welcoming. She tried her best to understand our special request accurately and she succeeded! We were served complimentary tea right after placing our order, which was nice, the teapot especially being very classy. The food arrived in less than 10 minutes. We had ordered toasted buns with lamb filling, the spicy chicken noodle dish, and wok kebab with a request for stir-frying in their hand-pulled noodles. The buns were flaky on the outside and pillowy on the inside with an adequate amount of unctuous meaty filling inside. The chicken noodle dish had a unique flavour, something I had never tasted before Spicy, umami, and everything nice! The noodle was thick and round and the texture was tender yet chewy, again never tried noodle so good! The beef wok kebab was so tender, full of cumin and umami sauces (did not imagine this combination to taste so good!). This hand-pulled noodle was flat and tender and totally different from the other noodle dish. The portions were big, especially considering the fact that you can't eat a lot of this food given how rich it is. The meat-carb proportions were very satisfying! We paid around $70 for 3 of us and we ate well there, as well as brought back 2 portions worth of left-overs. They have a small space, but they tried to decorate with their traditional accessories and art pieces, which I thought were great! This experience showed us how words are not even needed for an amazing service if it comes from the heart! This place is so underrated and definitely deserves more that 4.2 stars rating on Google!

Really nice small restaurant. The food was great, although a bit on the salty side. Simple setup. They get busy in the kitchen quite often and there’s a bit of wait time for them to come out
