Though I missed the full ambiance by ordering takeout, the Middle East Burger and onion rings still delivered a satisfying, hearty meal with thoughtful seasoning and a surprisingly crunchy texture. The venue's blend of lively music, eclectic crowd, and warm, unpretentious vibe creates an inviting atmosphere that makes me eager to return and experience everything in person.

While my takeout experience lacked the full restaurant ambiance, the Middle East Burger and onion rings were enjoyable. The food was tasty and reasonably priced, making it a solid option for a casual meal.
