"FYI: I ordered from Forest Kebab House through Grubhub but received my order from Sumac so this review is for both restaurants. Who the hell do the owner and cook think they 're foolin '? This isn 't Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, or Arabic food. This is garbage, plain and simple. For those of you who 've eaten here or will eat here do not be fooled into thinking this is authentic food. Try any other Middle Eastern restaurant on the planet or even a friggin ' food truck and you 'll know what I 'm talking about. It should be a crime to disguise brown sewage as Hummus. The staple of any Arabic restaurant, Hummus, and these fools can 't even get it right. I ordered the Falafel Platter, Muhammara, 3 way Labneh, and Kunafa, which is a dessert. Anyone who knows Kunafa knows that it 's an Arab cheese pastry with sweet syrup and pistachios, which is what it says on their menu. Google it and you 'll see exactly what it should look like like a thin slice of pie with a layer of cheese, pastry, and pistachios. Instead I got a shriveled string pastry, similar to Kunafa but in a circular shape with nuts not pistachios and no cheese. When I called, the order taker on the other line said, I don 't know how Kunafa 's supposed to look like but that 's Kunafa. The cheese is made in the dough. What!?!? Are you kidding me? Instead of 3 way Labneh, they sent Hummus. Fine. Let 's try it. Brown water. Absolutely disgusting with the wrong consistency and no flavor. Next. Muhammara? Watered down red pepper. Not surprised. Now the Falafel, the main dish. I opened the container and found a pile of yellow rice with 4 pieces of burnt brown balls on top. Against my better judgement, I tried it. Yup. Dried up turd. I dipped it into the tahini, hoping to drown this black rock with flavor. Think again, sucka! The tahini tasted like someone gargled with it then spit it back into the container. This place is a real disgrace. I was actually excited by the idea of having a restaurant with a decent Mediterranean menu nearby, but if you can 't even get the staples right, it 's time for you to close up shop and find another business. I grew up on Arabic food and, because of that, I 'm personally offended and embarrassed by the slop they push as food. Dear Owner: be ashamed."
