The Suleiman Family , who own several restaurants in TV, certainly know their business. The entire staff was efficient and friendly. I recognized a few staff from other restaurants and they come over and greeted us and made us feel very welcomed. Our wait staff was great- friendly, knowledgeable and happy to be there.

The menu is terrific. There are so many good choices and the ones I saw looked delicious.. The four of us ordered different dishes and everyone enjoyed their food.

We have not gone out to eat as much as we used to, and usually bring home food from one of the TV restaurants. When we do go out, we want a good experience. Last night was great!

I am not a food critic. This review is only written because there are so many negative reviews about restaurants that I thought it would be nice to hear a positive, when deserved.

We have not had a bad experience at any of the Suleiman run restaurants. They are well run and the food, from our experience is always consistent.

While I will disagree with your review, I will say that the reason there are more negative reviews is due to the younger crowd moving in, and this is a fact, they still have tastebuds that fully work. Remember the older you get the less you taste which is why at a certain point in life the elderly eat a lot of sweets because it's all that is left they can taste.

With that said, I am anticipating the restaurants will have to get better to survive with the younger crowd moving in. The standard level of drab needs to elevate itself.

Sorry but that's my culinary viewpoint on this area in and out of the "bubble"
