    The soup had a very authentic and familiar taste. It took me back to my playing days in Turkey and Syria. Well, my tastebuds were on point because the soup is from Syria - and the rest of the food is from heaven. Options include but are not limited to beef, chicken, shrimp, clamari (my personal fav), varieties of rice, salads and falafel that will leave your mouth watering. It’s bright and clean, the staff feel like family and treat you like an old friend. Treat your appetite to Tareks 2!

    Could’nt recommend this place more. Super friendly atmosphere, great vibes, even better food. They even gave me a complimentary soup to start my meal free of charge. I had the grape leaf plate and it blew me away, I WILL be back again. Also side note, get the molasses peppercorn sauce.
