We have been going to this restaurant for years and it never disappoints us. The pita was hot and fresh, we love the zatar and olive oil dip. The camel wings were hot and delicious the salads crisp and not over dressed. The lentil soup is flavorful and filling. One of my kids enjoyed the chicken curry and the other the tabouleh salad and taverna salad with chicken, my husbands lamb kabob was cooked just right. There were no leftovers! The service was attentive and not intrusive . We will continue to enjoy meals there for as long as they remain in woodley park
