Assistant Manager Dhia Awad said, “We have the same name as the restaurant in Rockford, but we are under different management. We have a lot of fish dishes and have a lot of the main menu still but we have added new dishes to the menu.
“We are very happy with the support we have had in setting up this business here and from the people around here. We are happy with the neighborhood and we are ready to serve you with high quality food. Today was a special moment with the city officials coming to help us celebrate. They were so excited for us as well.
Everything is cooked fresh so it is not fast food, it is high quality food. It takes at least 15 minutes to cook up an order so you can call in advance if you do not wish to wait. They have only a few chairs for those who are waiting for their order, but no tables. It is take out only – not dine in.
