text: I wanted to give Joseph's 2 stars for the excellent service, but I just couldn't bring myself to mislead anyone into thinking there's even a sliver of a reason to eat here.\n\nThe food, while authentic, was atrocious.  \n\nBoth the chicken and beef dishes had a very heavy, less-than-fresh odor and taste to them.  These were not meats they should have been serving.   \n\nAs I said initially, the service was excellent.  It's definitely a family run joint, and they were so kind that we didn't have the heart to tell them the food was rank.  We politely pretended we were stuffed and asked them to box the rest of our food to-go.   And promptly ditched it in the trash can once we were out the door.\n\nI would have loved to recommend this place, as Las Vegas is definitely in need of some genuine, authentic middle eastern cuisine -- but do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs.
