What they laced in decor they made up for in flavor of the food. Absolutely delicious. The owner was such a nice man. We were so wrapped up in conversation that forgot I had ordered food. I got the chicken pita - chicken, rice and onions inside of pita with pickles. It was SO FLAVORFUL. Absolutely will be going back
