“The place was nice and clean love the food and the drink. Recommend.”
“I tried this restaurant on whim for a gyros. The quality of food and service is top notch. The gyros and stuffed grapes leaves were excellent!! Both were very tasty and the waffle fries were a nice touch crispy yet soft inside and the bag is filled. Over all great experience!! AAA+”
“great food and very friendly service. Definitely recommend if in the area. Food is freshly made very quickly”
“We got the mixed grill entree and it was delicious!!! 10/10 Great customer service!”
“Food is okay, but after pick up realized they missed to put 3 diet coke’s and 1 baklava”
“I had the falafel bowl, and the lentil soup. The Jerusalem salad was OK 8/10. The hummus was the worst part. It wasn’t necessarily nasty. It was just meatier taste. I don’t know if it was cumin or what 6/10. The pita bread was all right 8/10. Falafels weren’t the best, but at least they weren’t hard 7/10. The rice was cooked right? But not very seasoned 7.3/10. The lentil soup was all right. I did notice a lot of water with it. I am not sure if it just diffused that way because of the lentils. When you miss it, it is slightly thicker 8.9/10. Very kind, staff attention to detail. I just wish the hummus was better. That is one of the main parts of dishes! Hey, if you guys are reading this Potbelly’s sandwich shop literally has better hummus!”
“All Around a great experience for the first time. The staff was friendly and helped us select our meals. The food was extremely delicious and large portions. Will be back!”
“Honestly the best food I have ever tasted , it was good juicy and with much flavor , I had to call them back and tell them how good it was . Hard to get good food nowadays.”
