Delicious food. Buffet for lunch is 5 per person, great deal for all you can eat. Service was quick and friendly. Limited seating and it gets busy...

This is a steam table counter with cooks in the back of a space that doubles as a Middle Eastern grocery store. They've squeezed some formica-topped tables...
