I stumbled upon Aalami Restaurant and it was such a delightful surprise! The salmon and spaghetti were bursting with flavor, enhanced by a zesty, peppery green sauce that added the perfect kick. 🐟🍝

The atmosphere is casual and welcoming; the staff is incredibly friendly and eager to help. Plus, it’s a great spot for families, as they cater to kids too! The lack of a visible menu makes the experience even more intriguing.

Don't judge this place by its looks - just trust me and dive into the amazing food! I can't wait to explore more of the menu next time! 🌟
