Favorite Baklava - Great Customer Service
I've eaten here a few times now and every time the experience has been great. The wait staff is always overly friendly, service amazing, and the food great on all occasions.
They had a make your own combo on the menu the last time I visited. I ordered the Kafta beef kabob, on saffron rice, a dolma and a falafel. When the food came out I realized I had over ordered due to all the sides and extras that come with the meals.
They advertise on the menu that meats are all marinated in authentic spices imported from Jerusalem and the meats always have amazing flavor. You can tell the recipes and ingredients used here are authentic and fresh.
The baklava here are absolutely amazing, crispy, flaky and made fresh daily. Filled with walnuts and honey, topped with green crushed pistachios. I always haul a dozen of these back to Texas with me.
Now the following comments are not complaints, these are stories to emphasize the customer service this place offers its customers.
One time we visited while a cappuccino machine, counter and plumbing was being installed, a waiter or owner profusely apologized over and over for the noise. Another time they didn't have a dozen bakalava left, and hadn't made the daily batch. Again staff apologized, admitted they were day old, and sold the remaining ones to me at a discount. Its these things that bring me back, because its rare that businesses really care about every customer that comes thru their door. They wanted me to leave fully happy with my visit.
This is one of my favorite places to eat while visiting the Manitou or Colorado Springs area. I will definitely return, bringing anyone traveling with me along for the experience.
Excellent Food, Excellent Service.
