I've been to Al-Hana at the Baiz Market several times and the consistency of the quality of their food, portion sizes and some of the pricing has changed but going in the wrong direction. It still an A-OK place to go, but it used to 4 to 5 stars.\n\nRestaurant ~ it's in the Baiz Market, so if you're needing to buy some Middle Eastern or Mediterranean food, staples and condiments this is a great place to shop! They often have great buys on their ground lamb and beef. Al-Hana is located in the front of the market. The distinctive and spiced filled aroma hits you when you enter the market ~ \"take a deep inhale, awe..\" There is a small area for dinning up front that's clean and not too cramped. Most people order to go, so don't worry about seating when you see a lot of people at the counter. \n\nService ~ is quick and friendly. Usually there are just three to four people working the restaurant, two cooks and one girl working furiously taking orders and ringing people up. I don't like how they have their menu. It's laminated on sheets of paper tied together with a ring. They only have two sets, so you may need to wait to see their menu. They get a lot of regulars which will walk right up to the counter beside you and in front of you if you give them an inch. This experience is starting to remind me of that Seinfeld episode \"Soup Nazi\". You stand in line, hold your ground and order quickly, pay ~ then move aside and wait for your number to be called. Having an idea of what you want ahead of time is recommended, so read the Yelp reviews before going. \n\nFood ~the spinning skewers of meat look and smell amazing, one beef and one chicken but no lamb? WHAT?? The beef and chicken sandwiches used to look more like middle eastern burritos stuffed full of meat and veggies but lately they look more like taquitos with some veggies thrown in. \n\nTheir kabobs, both beef and chicken are better and you can get those as a sandwich if you ask. Their Babaghannuj is much better than their Humus. Humus is ok, small side is now $3.99 and sold seperately, but their Baba is delish! The pitas lately have also been hit and miss. Our pita's were too dry and almost brittle on our last visit. Thanks to the Baba, we didn't mind so much.\n\nAll in all, Al-Hana has changed in my opinion with there being better options to choose from within a 5 mile drive. I will go back to shop the Baiz Market and plan stop by Al-Hana again soon. Hope to see you there.
