text: Exotic smells permeate the room as we enter the restaurant through a store selling middle eastern goods Turning to our right we enter the restaurant and order kabobs The restaurant area is sparsely decorated but we do not mind Some of the best food comes from little holeinthewall restaurants with little or no effort put into the decornnThe kabobs were not bad they just were not anything special The big disappointment was the rice It did not taste like basmati and did not have the saffron I am used to seeing with rice when I order koubideh elsewhere There was a strange musty smell and taste to the rice that we just could not place We left most of the rice and some of the kabob on the platennThis would have been a two star experience if it had not been for the amazing selection of different types of baklava for sale in the little store That baklava was strictly stars for both taste texture and freshness We bought one of each kind pistachio baklava almond baklava every kind of baklava you can think of I highly recommend this little store for their baklava I just would not come back here to eat a meal
