Horrible Service

by COstrowski

I am really disappointed in the service of this place. My fiancé and I went there a long time ago – when they were still at Eagan and really enjoyed the food and the belly dancing. So we inquired about holding our rehearsal dinner there. I have been trying to set up an appointment with them to pick out a menu for this event since May. I had set one up for June and the owner, Jamal ‘forgot’ and wasn’t there. The excuse I was given by his son, who had no idea why I was there, was ‘O he is too busy.’ Well I am too and would have liked at least an apology. I then got a phone call from his assistant, Leslie, and she told me that she found my name and phone number on a sticky note and was wondering why it was there. I couldn’t believe the unprofessionalism. Once I called and was told that they couldn’t take a message from anybody that I had to call back. I called and left at least 20 times. Within the last week and still nobody called back. I guess my party of 40 people is not that important to the restaurant. Its really a shame about the service, because the place is really gorgeous and I would have loved to hold my party there, but due to lack of professionalism I have changed my venue 21 days before our rehearsal dinner.

There are a tons of Middle Eastern places that offers better food - trust me - I am a foodie!

• Cons: BAD SERVICE!!!!

A dining experience, worth the drive!`

by kavit

We read other good reviews on this place and wondered if it was worth a drive across the cities. Turns out, it was. The food was as good or better than any we've had at Holy Land, Christos or Santorini. The service was warm, prompt and friendly, and the ambience was cozy and homey, if a little tacky (which just made it all the more fun.) The belly dancers were definitely entertaining. This would be a great place to celebrate a birthday or meet a group of friends, but it was an enjoyable experience for just the two of us also. We'll be going back for sure.

• Pros: Good food, friendly service, fun entertainment
• Cons: noisy

The most fun you can have at a restaurant!

by shimmygirl

I have been a big fan of the MCC for years and have been there for lunch and dinner. Jamal and his staff are fabulous and I love the friendly greeting we always get. I think the food is terrific. I love the shwarma and the flaming cheese. I think the lamb chops are fab-we have never been disappointed. We have introduced a lot of people to the MCC over the last year or so and everyone we take there LOVES it. The staff always tries hard to please you. I mostly go because I am a beginning belly dancer and I love the shows on the weekends. There have been a couple of times when we got there it was busy and they had to seat us in the bar area but Jamal always moves us when a place opens up in the dining room. It is one of my favorite restaurants and I highly recommend it to everyone. They may have a bad night once in a while-what restaurant doesn't? If you are not happy, tell Jamal-he will always take care of it.

• Pros: Great food, great service, great dancing!
• Cons: You may have a wait on busy weekend nights

Don't deliver on promises

by DogsRunWild

They promise hourly belly dancing shows four nights a week and fail to deliver. The food is only average. Be prepared to be disappointed.

poor lunch

by mcmattb

Schrimp Shish Kabob is excellent as are some of the other dishes.

Dinner service has been pretty good, but lunch service is often inconsistent. It seems like they usually only have one person at lunch so if it gets busy it will take while.

I used to like M.C.C. more when it first opened. Now I find myself going other places first.
