Amazing place in a live location lots of people to see and you will enjoy the views of passing cars and people. .. with an interesting food selection
هذا واحد من ارقى مطاعم البوليڤارد يتميز بخدمة عالية المستوى
When I saw how popular it was with the locals, I knew it had to be good. One of my favourite places now. I shall certainly revisit and recommended it. Fabulous food.
This is one of the great Lebanese restaurants in downtown. We come regularly. As always, We had tabouleh and hummus as starters. Main courses we took kebab with eggplant "kebab bel batenjan" and shish tawouq. As a complementary, they served us rez bel elaban (sweet rice with milk) and coffee because we had a complaint regarding the parking next to the restaurant.
A glimpse of Levantine Kitchen in The Middle of The heart of Dubai...
We were welcomed by the nice staff who gave us a nice chair with the great Syrian Ambience viewing Burj Khalifah.
Very nice fresh salads, nice variety of food. Cordon bleu was very nice and very pleasant portion.
A great place and highly recommended
Special Thanks for our host "Mo'men" for his great hospitality

I love this place. The staff, food and service allow you to have a perfect time. It is a bit expensive for Arabic food but it is worth to try it and enjoy it.
The feeling of being back in the old towns of Damascus with their authentic taste of Syrian cuisine..Everything was delicious and cooked in perfection from starters to main course..The kebbeh labanieh was distinctive above all I tried and don't miss out their tradition ice cream so creamy and filled with pistachio..service and atmosphere were great..A big applause indeed..
In love with this restaurant since years I go to this place and every time I like it more and more I wish I can give more than 5 stars you really deserve 10 stars on the food quality the ambience and the friendly super nice staff
We had a great experience here. The food was great with a good sized serving. We were served by Hany and he was just fantastic. I would highly recommend!
We tried the breakfast and dinner, both of the experiences were very good! Good place to try something new, specially new taste.
If you're going for breakfast i advise you to share the plates because of the portion.
By far the best arabic food resturant in dubai. And specially this banch. It has the best food shisha and service. If you go there you have to try the following: pomegranate and pine apple juice and Fattoush, Halloumi salad, steak with potato and garlic lemon sauce

The best the best the best iftar so far!! The FOOD the SERVICE the Ambience the staff!! Awesome honestly!! We all loved it!! Been there 3 times in Ramadan it’s the best of the best👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️
Have invited my friends during their dubai visiting to this place. We ordered hummus, armenian salad , zaatar, cheese rolls and lentil soup for starters alongside with mixed grill and kebbah labniah ( if im not mistaken of name) for mains...the food quality was good and the staff were friendly and informative..this place doesn't serve shisha as long as i remember therefore I'm not visiting it so often coz for me Lebanese food and shisha is a combo lol..but overall delicious food.
Love the food here ! Good service and there wasn’t too many people either . Price wise was good not too pricy , the location is at the corner of the Blvd in downtown . I am craving the hummus again !
Took my friend out who is visiting from Australia. As always, the food was delicious and the service was amazing! Al Hamidieh is my go to restaurant whenever I want to go for a nice meal that's why I always take guests here, because they never fail. We ordered fattoush, halloumi, tawouk and kibbeh labanieh. After we finished eating, we ordered some more tea and to our surprise they served us with some complimentary desserts! It was a sweet ending to our meal 😊
One of my favorite restaurants in Dubai.
I love their Fattoush, Lamb with yogurt, shish tawook and Moroccan mint tea.
Always amazing service !

It's so long that wanted to visit this place,so at last i had a chances to visit this restaurant,and sure i would recommend to everyone that wants Arabic food.
It's Arabic (Syrian restaurant)
With a great old islamic design,in downtown near dubai mall.
For appetizer we ordered
Fatoush: I would really recommend it,it's a must to try,they have one of the best fatoush in town.
Hamus: great taste, if you are hamus lover order it.
Moutabbal Badenjan:Not bad,
Main course:
Kabab hindi:it was really nice, it was served with rice, i really like their rice to,
Service 4/5
Staff 4/5
Ambience 3.5/5
Food 4/5
Portions 4/5
Price 3.5/5
Located on the Emmar boulevard facing dubai mall
Outdoor and indoor seating available
Wide selection of Lebanese dishes.
Really recommend the muhammara.
For the evenings, recommend to make a reservation
Good service
Al Hamidieh one of the best Syrian restaurant in Dubai
They served very good Shisha and food
Tried their breakfast ( Mana2esh, fool and fateeh )
Best of the best dessert ( '3azel el banat with ice cream ) must try
Our favorite Shisha hangout with friends
We celebrated our friend bachelorette party here in the outdoor sitting area and vibes were amazing
The food is super delicious and their cotton candy dessert is a must try
Great place .. great atmosphere and most importantly great food ..
ordered beetroot salad and beetroot mutabal which was great .. chicken shawarma fatta and kabab halabi which was also soo good ..
ended it all with their selection of sweets
The food was nice though nothing special. We came back to enjoy some drinks and shisha which was really good. If you are at Dubai Mall and want some rest from the tourist I can definitively recommend Al Hamidieh.
I bring all my friends and family here. Coming from a Syrian background this place really hits home with authentic flavours. Fadi, who I believe is the manager, is amazing and makes sure you have the best experience; he really makes you feel at home. Thank you for the hospitality and most importantly thank you for bringing a piece of Syria to Dubai!!!

In the middle of Downtown Dubai, to your right side, you can find Al Hamidieh. A catchy name and place for anyone who has been to Souk Al Hamidieh in Syria and feels nostalgic to the authentic Syrian vibes.
Separated into a smoking and a non-smoking section, you guessed it, the shisha wins and the smoking section is almost always full.
The smoking area is not too big, and always full. That said, the ventilation system isn't too great so be prepared for a cloud of smoke around you at all times.
The menu is interesting, full of delicious Syrian delicacies and options, take a look at what we ordered:
4/5 ⭐️ Fattouch (35 aed): A typical mix of Fattouch ingredients topped with fried pita bread, pomegranate molasses and pomegranate seeds. The sauce is generous and the veggies are super fresh!
3/5 ⭐️ Cheese with Zaatar Salad (30 aed): A mix of white cheese cubes, fresh thyme leaves, pomegranate seeds, and olives. Not too special and sauce wasn't enough.
4/5 ⭐️ Hummus (25 aed): The traditional hummus with no twists, yet a good one!
4/5 ⭐️ Harra' Esba'o (36 aed): The Syrian lentil pasta soup that I always crave for!! Perfect amounts of tamarind and coriander for the wonderful taste!
3/5 ⭐️ Zahra Tarator (25 aed): A bed of cauliflower topped with tahina sauce and garnish. The flavors are good but the cauliflower should've been more crunchy.
1.5/5 ⭐️ Chicken Liver (25 aed): we know that cooking chicken liver can be tricky, and unfortunately it was a bad choice here.The chicken tasted gamey and it didn't smell good either.
4/5 ⭐️ Naqaneq (32 aed): Known as makanek, yummy sausages cooked with potatoes and molasses. Good choice.
4/5 star ⭐️Sujok (32 aed): spicy sausage in a delicious marination. A shy portion for the price though.
3/5 ⭐️ Fried Potato (22 aed): A different take on french fries - a bit dry and undercooked.
4/5 ⭐️ Fattet Shawarma Chicken (50 aed): A bowl of chicken shawarma with fried garlic, topped with yogurt tahini mix turning it into a Syrian Fatteh. Nice combination!
5/5 ⭐️ Shisha (60 aed): One of the few times that we had a good shisha and a good shisha service at the same time! We had the rose flavor and we loved it.
Whether you are nostalgic to souk al Hamidieh or a fan of Syrian cuisine and vibes, Al Hamidieh is the spot for you. Try it out for food, drinks, shisha or all of them!
went with my family to have dindr at hamidieh restaurant in boulvard area
great Syrian Food and authentic place.
The staff is very nice and come very often to the table to make sure everything is good and food was on. One has to try the ice cream covered with cotton candy. Love the ice cream with ghazel lbanat also try the konafa for desert
Very good food especially the shawarma fataa it was quite something, still didn't try their shisha but its seems good as it's usually crowded in the smoking area.
I love Syrian restaurants in Dubai and last time I went to one of my favorites and told him I loved Fetteh , my Syrian friend suggested me to try the one at Al Hamidieh. And I mainly went for that one. Their famous Fettah Hummus is only served for breakfast that is why the waiter suggested us to take a look at the menu in a section just for Fetteh. My friend ordered the one with chicken shawarma while I went for the boneless chicken one. It was by far the best I have tried ever. The chicken was so perfectly cooked and tender, the crispy Arabic bread and pine-nuts made it heaven. It is very heavy so i barely finished half of the plate. Is definitely a dish to order and share among a group of friends. Their Fatoush was also one of the best I have ever tried and I felt a delicious olive oil in its zest. Decoration is traditional Arabic, and crowd was mainly local. Service was also very good and they have a valet which makes things even better.
Delicious mezzah and amazing shisha, my favourite evening spot with friends. You feel the Syrian hospitality and atmosphere in every step. I never get to the main course because I always get full at the starters 😂
To enjoy a good meal you need to have a nice and comfy ambience, and this place definitely has it.
The food was delicious. The portion size was more than enough !
Their kebabs are tasty, salads are good. Chicken shawarma fatteh is a must, very yummy and the mixture of flavors is well balanced.
If you're a fan of ice teas try the lemon home brewed ice tea.
After you've had a good meal, you'd want to top it with The cotton candy ice cream dessert..yum !
Went there for dinner, it was crowded on a Monday night!
The food was good, traditional arabic food!
What I really liked was the dessert, their cotton candy icecream (I am definitely coming back for that one!)
It was great experience being at Al Hamidieh Restaurant, Downtown.
Prices are reasonable, food is good and big portions, staff is on hand attentive!
Separate thanks to Thaer for hospitality.
I do appreciate attention from management, as it brings value to customer service.
I do recommend this place. Would come again.
The best ever restaurant for me in UAE
Very nice various kinds of dishes of Mediterranean taste
Nice at door meeting. Cheerful staff and quick service
Went there for an early dinner and found it average. Food was nicely presented, the service is quick and simply amazing, but the food LACKED salt and marination especially the Ouzi! It was just tasteless and greasy. I liked the kibbeh labnieh though and the Fattoush! We asked for kunafa for dessert and it was simply a shock! A very small portion that didn't taste fresh, unfortunately, as we were dying for a good Kunafa!
Their Moroccan Tea was tasty and again the service was really good!
This was our second visit after a Ramadan visit in 2015, which was way better!
One of my favourite Syrian restaurants in town .. love the Nakank.. chicken liver .. fries ... the juices .. the bread .. almost everything is yummy.. but the salads used to be richer before .. and the sweets selection is poor ..
Great place, fantastic food and good service, it is a typical authentic Syrian food ,highly recommended and everything on the menu is outstanding
Nice location and food with good service I love there juices, sweets and the BBQ it was tasty but what I like it the salads yummy the price is average
The best Arabic restaurant I've ever been too. I've lived in Dubai for 15+ years and I've yet to find an Arabic restaurant as good as them. I usually try to avoid Arabic restaurant due to it being so repetitive and usually having the same flavour across their dishes; though Hamidieh is something completely different. I must say it's a must try!
Went there for dinner ! And totally in love with the place specially the seating is so nice.. the view and the lighting...
Enjoyed the dinner i tried chicken fateh and kebbeh..
The service is excellent..
We went there for breakfast and we had one of the best Arabic breakfast. The Falafel was crispy, the jams were traditional along with the cheese platter. and the Fava Bean in Olive oil (Foul Bil Zait) was the best in town and authentic. The service was also very good. Now we are planning to go back for lunch in the near future.
Great Syrian Levantine cuisine at the heart of downtown. Went there many times and my favorite picks are fattoush, hommous, zahra which is deep fried cauliflower with tahini sauce. For mains I order the Laban emmo or a lamb shank cooked with yogurt and spices served with side rice!
The restaurant offers shisha as well in a setup that looks like the original Souq al hamadieh in old Damascus!

Al Hamidieh is amongst the newer additions to the Downtown Boulevard eateries, which sprung up a little under two years back. Without a doubt one of the best locations in the city for any kind of restaurant as it's got a stunning view of the Burj Khalifa.
The restaurant is quite a massive one, larger than most other Arabic restaurants in the neighborhood. Very nice interiors, giving the place an authentic Arabic look and feel. They also have a lovely large outdoors, which is beautiful in the cooler months. They offer Sheesha as well, making it a great spot for Sheesha fans.
We tried a large variety of things from both the meat and Veg selection and felt the food was quite good but not the very best we have had. The food, in general, was a bit dry and lacked the punch of flavors. The service, however, was quite quick and efficient. We were there to celebrate a birthday and manager who was passing by when we were discussing it, picked up on it and surprised us at the end of the meal with a small cake and candle, which we thought was extremely thoughtful and sweet :).
Definitely, a nice place to try out if you enjoy Arabic food with lovely authentic ambiances.
One of the best restaurants in downtown. It has a really delicious food with a variety of sweets and beverages and smoking and nonsmoking section and in addition they have a good view
One of my favorite restaurants, amazing authentic Syrian breakfast and one of the most delicious grills in town. Perfect shisha and excellent service.
If your looking for authentic Syrian food then you must visit Al Hamidieh. A great location on the Downtown Boulevard with amazing views of the Burj Khalifa and lovely Arabian style interiors. Plus valet parking. Our foodie recommendations:
- Fattet Shawarma Chicken, absolutely delish and a must have dish! So authentic, we would come back literally for this dish alone!
- Yalengi really great
- Armenian Salad
- Lahmeh bil Siniyeh, meaning meat in the pan which is a real authentic Syrian dish and was cooked perfectly!
A must visit for any foodie or anyone wanting to try really authentic Arabic food. Can't wait to come back for their breakfast!
Good quality food, nothing super though. Service is good. Variety of options. Breakfast menu is poor though. Super daily dishes. A place to visit regularly!
Great food and Sheesha ! A must-comeback for us ! The fatteh chicken is yum ! Hummus being one of the best we've had! Lovely experience! Quality food in a reasonable budget! :)

Can't get enough of Arabian cuisine. This one with an authentic Syrian touch to it. The service was slow but then there were a lot of people too.
Loved the spicy hummous. And being the fans that we are of sheesh tawook, ordered both variations. Sheesh Tawook Red with a tomato base and Sheesh Tawook White with a yoghurt base, both of which were beyond fantastic.
We'll definitely be back for more. As should you!
--A drop of ink may make a million think.
@AyaashPaw
Very nice place
Wide selection of Arabic dishes and some original Syrian dishes that you rarely find in other restaurants
Great location
Affordable , delicious , traditional Syrian and Aleppo cuisine , best mixed grill and tasty shisha
Highly recommended ............
Also nice atmosphere and friendly staff
Authentic Syrian food, delicious starters (humus, patrsh, mutabal, salads, etc.), and tasty main courses. The Gazleh with ice cream is a must.
Went as a group of 6 so we ended up ordering A LOT of starters ao i wont go into drtails on each but every single one was just perfect and tasted so so fresh, havent even middle eastern starters that taste this good anywhere else in Dubai!
All the different main courses were amazing as well! The service is top notch and we had a fantastic dinner! Highly recommended!!
I tried the restaurant couple of times; amazing location; food and service. Shisha can be better. The staff are friendly and their willingness to serve is high
Went this evening for Iftar with a group of friends . The location , venue and service are great . We had a set menu but the food wasn't that great . Salads served especially Fattouch were tasteless , hummus and mutabal were normal and lacks the twist . The best dish we had was chicken fatteh and really it had a great mix of flavours that we even asked for two additional dishes of the same . The dessert corner was perfect with full oriental selections . Shisha also was superb . I'll have to visit this place after Ramadan cause I think they offer much better mains on their a la Carte menu .
Visited this place with group of friends. We ordered Djaj bil Fakhara and the mix grill. The food tasted good, the chicken was very tender but the meal was kinda heavy
Really nice Syrian food in a nice location on boulevard downtown. I have been here a few times and the food is always really good and fresh. I like the artichoke salad, mutabbal balenjan (roasted eggplants with promegranate seeds and walnuts), grilled halloumi cheese, grilled skewers of lamb and lamb shank cooked in yoghurt sauce. All those dishes are so fresh and delicious. It is my favourite Arabic restaurant in Dubai and when we have guest I bring them here...
Amazing middle eastern food with a twist! Very generous and tasty along with a very nice atmosphere! Highly recommended!
Orders recommendation: djaj tarator, batersh and sharhat mutafayeh.
The food is tasty love the location, the taste of the food is delicious and the price are good enough to the portion. The waiter even will help you to choose the best des he's. good job hamedia management and keep the good work.
this restaurant is without question the best Syrian cuisine in Dubai and probably the best Syrian food I have ever had, including my trips in damascus. Don't listen to any of the moaners who have posted negative feedback on this site (below). the food is exceptional, the service excellent ... and the overall experience is near perfection. And its worth special mention that its obvious the owner and employees put their heart into the preparation of the food, and experience.
Location : Perfect
Staff : Amazing
Food : Nice but serving a Small Portions
Price : Expensive
Outdoor : Amazing
Access : very accessible
Syrian arabic restaurant went there with friend for dinner and shisha
Shisha was good but food was mot up to the level.
variety in menu is low and food was ok but not great. Service is ok but not great too. As some of staff not aware of dishes they have service bit slow
This restaurant has become my favorite Syrian Restaurant in Dubai, the food is exceptionally good, top-notch attentiveness from the waiters and nice ambiance with a spacious outdoor & indoor seating and Syrian-style decor. I have come here twice so far once for breakfast & today for lunch.
Breakfast : We had an authentic Syrian breakfast hommos (so delicious with good-sized beans reminding us of home), fatet hommos, omelette, labneh, and the collection of jams. The manager was super friendly & welcoming even though we arrived at 12.30pm asking for breakfast items.
Today i ordered the artichoke salad, beetroot salad, and djaj fakhara. Portion size of both the salads are good, the main course portion was very generous served with a side of rice. All ordered items were perfect.
Overall, i highly recommend this restaurant & seems it will be one of our main restaurants of choice in Dubai. :)
Loved the place and location. Good atmosphere. Loved the falafel. Feta chickpeas and cheeses. Red tea was spot on with the selection of food. Eggs with meat was ok. Foul was a bit hard to eat but tasty. Roz with Laban was delicious and I prefare the Turkish kunafe to the one I had
Great location, great grills and spicy potato, good shisha and ambiance, and above all - loved the dessert ... a dome of strawberry and vanilla ice cream dressed in white cotton candy and nuts! Sounds usual but tastes out of the world.... Coming back soon for sure
This is the best Syrian Cuisine in Dubai - I have tried every single item on the menu and when I have any visitors in Dubai, I will take them there to enjoy real Syrian experience.
Their Chicken Breast moutafyeh is amazing, their cold Mezzeh is to die for. Try the folling:
Beetroot Moutabal
Mouhamara
Grilled Kabab
Their daily dishes
Hummous spicy
Kebben Nieh
Fattet Jaj
Enjoy the experience
Had a breakfast gathering in Hamidieh and it really reminded me of Syria! With the chilled Arabic music playing in the background and the Syrian interior. We tried almost everything on the breakfast menu and everything was wow! Our waiter was rude, didn't know why as we were very polite and the place was not busy in the morning, but the restaurant manager visited our table twice and was very respectful. Parking is a bit of a hassle or maybe we didn't know where to park. Must have is foul
I enjoyed this restaurant, the food is delicious, the service is so friendly, but it is all about MEZZAH, so many types to choose from and they are all yummy, plus a great outside area to have shisha.
The best Syrian restaurant in the area. Great atmosphere and amazing location.
This was my 3rd visit to this restaurant and what is so nice about it other than the food is the service. Syrian long winter abayas are available for guests to keep them warm as they are enjoying their food.
If you want to get to know Syrian food and hospitality, this is the real deal.
"AlHamidieh Resturant"Lebanese luxury restaurants providing dishes for the Lebanese cuisine. One of the lovely lebanese restaurants that you enjoy eating their food, whether you're with your friends or with your family. You can have for the startes" The hot potato" , " lever chicken with Pomegranate molasses and Halomi grilled cheese" 🍸.
My friend recommended Al Hamidieh restaurant for me. Honestly best Syrian food I've ever tasted, fresh tabouli - amazing cold mezza from Hummus to Yalengi. Tried also Sharhat Mutafayah, tender steak with the tasty lemon & garlic fresh coriander sauce, simply perfect. The service is too fast, as well as the friendly staff. I would definitely come back again.
What a great restaurant to try, having the best Syrian and arabic food ever tried, cooked in a spectacular way, really amazing and delicious taste!! Beautiful atmosphere and very clean! What a great customer service and the sisha is amazing!!

For Me it's not just the food but also the service , ambiance and cleanliness that matters equally and this place fulfill my criteria.
I did reservation a day earlier as on weekend normally every restaurant In downtown is fully booked, and I m glad I did as al hamidieh was full as well.
Manager was really helpful as well as the staff. There service was really quick seriously the amount of ppl they had but we got everything within mins.
Everything we ordered was full of taste and fresh.
We opted for the following dishes :
Fattoush
Hummos beiruti
Baba ghanouj ( this one hands down it was yumm)
Mixed grilled : it's enough for two people .
Shakreyeh bel lahmeh; it's lamb cooked in yoghurt and served with white rice topped with cashunet.
Shawarma chicken platter.
Everything tasted sooo delicious seriously and price is super reasonable and quantity is quite enough .
In dessert we had : ghazle with ice cream, it's basically ice-cream ball topped with Syrian styled cotton candy and pistachio.
I loved loved it, must must try.
I also had pomegranate juice , it was really fresh .
Overall it's a must visit place , I loved everything.

One of the multiple options for Middle eastern/ Arabic food on Downtown Blvd. I had a mixed experience !! Some of the dishes were really good but some definitely had scope for improvement. Would give it another shot. The salads and juices are really good.
Staff: were good
Decoration: was nice, but too many flies
Food: dishes were good. Probably extra points, as they add pomegranate in every dish! And pomegranate is my favorite fruit 😋💕
Well.. Ordered so many dishes, and I'm too lazy to mention them 😅 yet liked them. Bu have to say, that I LOVED the dessert that contains ice-cream and cotton candy ❤️️
Well.. You have to give the restaurant a try :)
Nice feel good place. Food and price was decent. Salad was fantastic and the hummus was one of the best. The portion of food was good for filling the tummy, unlike similar eatery in the same location
Excellent in all ways... If you are heading for a great food and excellent service that is the place... Food is extremely tasty and homie and healthy in general you do see and item that can be greasy or too fatty oily... And finally the desert is wow and yummy. I recommend the ice cream with the cotton candy... For mezza I recommend everything!
honestly . I like the view more than eating but everything was good and the waiters was so fast but you should take your girlfriend cause it was like romantic time for me I was with my brother Basher
Great improvement from the Marina Branch. Good food and service, trumps Reem Al Bawadi. We had the Chicken Shawerma Fatteh which was excellent.
Its a nice place to spend a night with friends smoking shisha. Good atmos for shishaa, we had mixed grilled along with.The food is delicious and the ambiance ,and off course the staffs are. I am rating a bit high cuz of the staffs.
Visited Al Hamidieh Restaurant with good expectations following a friend's recommendation. To be fair, the place looks averagely nice. My friend ordered a Shisha in the smoking area which was packed, I didnt feel annoyed with the smell as the doors were open wide along with a good ventilation system. No flies were around as well!
Going on to the food, the pome grenade juice was amazing & full of flavor. The mottabl & fattouch were good enough. As for the chawarmas, the meat for me was much better than the chicken. But then again its a matter of taste. Overall good average food with generous quantity, but overpriced for the ambience & experience.

Visited Al Hamidieh for the first time with a few friends in Downtown Dubai on a Thursday evening around 7:30-8pm. The outdoor shisha area was full so we were asked to sit indoors until we could be transferred outside.
We ordered the spicy hummus, white shish tawook, chicken shawerma plate, falafel plate, fattoush, 3 watermelon juices, and 2 shishas.
The food was excellent - the spicy hummus was tangy and unique. The shish tawook was soft and very well cooked. It was served with a side of butter rice.
The Falafels were crispy and the fattoush was well balanced. The shawerma plate was the only disappointment as it was slightly dry.
The main host dealing with seating was polite and nice. However the waiters were very racist - we could hear them making jokes about us and whenever we asked for something they took either too long or we had to remind them again.
The shisha was one of the best in town - smooth and with good service from the coal server.
Overall, I would go back for the food and shisha (hoping that the servers are less racist next time around). As long as I am a paying customer, I think I deserve equal attention from the staff.
The best Syrian restaurant .The service was good.liked the tables and seats.the food was delicious , fattet shawarma is my favorite,it's soooo yummy and perfect, the fattoush also very tasty.we tried grilled faroj ,kibbeh,kabab halabi and shakryah.i will back again.
