I came here for dinner after visiting the art museum, and ordered an Iraqi kebab sandwich and a half-portion of the Palestinian cucumber salad. I also ordered a house chai to drink. The sandwich was good and decently flavorful with a nice citrusy sauce. The salad was simple, but also tasty. The chai unfortunately didn't have much spice flavor. While the food was decent, this place lacks in service. The food was slow to come out, although the restaurant wasn't very busy, and the service wasn't particularly friendly. When I went to pay the cashier just added up all the prices in her head, not even looking at the menu for the prices or using the cash register before plugging it into the card reader. As a result I was overcharged by about $10, which I didn't notice until after I had already left. No matter how good the cause is, this is a very shoddy business practice and customers should not be left guessing how much they really owe because the restaurant staff can't be bothered to keep proper records.

A lovely hidden gem, perfect for the first visit to Cleveland. Staff are super friendly, atmosphere very cozy, and food is delicious. You can tell the owner puts a lot of love and care into his art and the dishes.

My friends and I came up from Toronto for the weekend and decided to stop by Algebra Tea House, and we’re glad we did. I had the iced Yemen latte with cardamom and a falafel wrap both were fantastic. The latte was refreshing and perfectly balanced, and the falafel wrap was fresh, flavorful, and filling. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, making it a great place to unwind and catch up with friends. Definitely a spot worth visiting, and one we’ll be recommending to others. Looking forward to stopping by again on a future trip.
