Love their Kabab meal. Presentation was spot on if you’ll browse through the photos. Meat was tender. A bit pricy and would be worth it if they would use basmati rice, instead of the regular jasmin rice. One of the best Persian cuisine I’ve tried in Cebu.

We were looking for a place for a late lunch with our 3-year-old and came across this place. Since we were craving for some kebab, we tried this restaurant and indeed it did nor disappoint us at all!

The service was excellent - staff is attentive and quick. We ordered hummus dip for appetizer that came with a fluffy pita. We ordered another pita and asked for it to be extra toasted. It was so good. For our mains, we got chicken shawarma and kabab. It was delicious and the serving was generous. The Turkish Coffee was great too. Definitely recommend

One of the best middle eastern restaurants in Cebu. Great tasting kebab and rice, better accompanied by their hummus. A bit pricy but their dishes are very tasty and presentable in exchange. All in all, worth it for a drive out to Il Corso just to eat here!

A restaurant serving authentic middle eastern cuisine with 2 branches in the city (the other one is in Ayala Center Cebu).Their chicken and beef kebabs are well prepared and seasoned which is also ideal for big groups since they offer not only single servings but also by platter. Also tried their Chicken Tauok sandwhich and Arayes, I was not disappointed at all. A must try for middle eastern food lovers.
