Golden Nest Restaurant

This place is a hole in the wall. 8 booths. A TV that was playing Arabic TV. No waiter service — walk up to the counter and place your order. The woman behind the counter did not seem interested in my order. I asked if the hommous was good. The response? We’re out of hommous. It’s lunch time & no one else is in the place — how can you be out of hommous?
This was the main issue with Golden Nest. No hommous, no salad, no beef liver/​heart. A good portion of their menu items were not available. I ended up ordering a combo of beef shawarma, beef kabob (kufta), and chicken kabob (kufta) with rice. The rice came with a tomato & white bean sauce that was different, but nothing special.
The food was mediocre at best. The seasoning was OK, but the temperature was off — rice was cold, meats were warm but not hot. The garlic sauce was separating, which is not at all appetizing. The real bright spot of the meal was the veggie tray that contained onion, tomato, cucumbers, and pickled cabbage. All was fresh, which seemed odd since nothing else seemed to be totally fresh.
To top it off, there were floaties in my water. Kinda gross.
Not the best experience in the world, but this is a mom & pop place and it appears that they’re trying. I would give them the benefit of the doubt and go back to see if today was a fluke. For now, however, I cannot recommend the Golden Nest.
