“The best Falafel sandwich I’ve ever had hands down! Can’t wait to try more of their food!”
“Loved the Chicken Schwarma plate, which was about $16.”
“The food and the service was excellent! I brought my fiancé who's never really had middle eastern food before, and they made some suggestions for her to try. We got Baba ghanoush, hummus, falafel, and a shawarma combo plate. Everything was very fresh and delicious. Prices were very reasonable and the portions were good. I will definitely be returning, this place is definitely a neighborhood gem.”
“This place is a true neighborhood gem. Having worked nearby for years, I can say with confidence that this is one of the most welcoming restaurants you'll ever find. It’s a family-run business, operated by four brothers who inherited it from their father. Their dedication to continuing his legacy is clear in every detail. The brothers and their staff treat every customer with genuine warmth, making you feel right at home. They have an outstanding reputation for a reason: the service is impeccable, the atmosphere is cozy, and the food is phenomenal. While I personally believe their chicken shawarma with everything is heaven on a plate, you truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. If you are anywhere in the area, this is the place to eat. You are guaranteed to leave with a smile on your face. Tell them Jimmy sent you.”
“Delicious!! Order at the counter and they bring you your food. Tables to eat at. Absolutely yummy. My go to place.”
“Great for a pita or a platter on the go. Love the chicken pita and make sure to get some red sauce.”
“I had the chicken Shawna dinner .. grape leaves.. falafel.. everything was tastee and fresh .. my one issue is they do not have a rest room eventhough they do have eat in tables ... OQ”
“Once upon a time this was some good food, however I dont know what happened. I got a steak schwarma. The steak was so chewy I couldn't get through it. Big chunks with no flavor. Some cut up chunks of pickle with a sauce that couldn't cover the bland gray meat. I appreciate that they loaded it up.But what's the point of give me five pounds of meat,if it doesn't taste good? when you pay twenty five dollars for 2 schwarmas, you would hope for maybe a fresh pita. But sad to say even that was bad. the only reason why I gave it anything was because the workers were really nice... that was the best part of the experience. Hopefully my dog will like it...”
“I bought a chicken kabob platter for my five year old daughter this evening, and noticed that the grilled onion (that was pretty well burned) had been put into the container when it was still hot enough to burn a hole through the Styrofoam. I have had this experience in the past with their fried items, but I decided to give them another chance. I think this is the final straw for me, considering how pricey everything has become. Seriously, How many extra seconds would it take to let stuff cool down a little bit, so that I don't end up feeding extra carcinogens to my kid?? They didn't even seem to be very busy. Must not care. Thanks for that”
