Sinya is right around the corner from me and I ordered my pickup and it was on time and FRESH! Meat was delicious and juicy. Rice was warm and tasty. The sauces were amazing!

“I came in today to check it out.”

I came in today to check it out. As soon as I entered I saw the guy by the door and said “table for 2” then he replied “you order here and then we bring to the table”. I smiled slightly embarrassed. If I had only paused to look I would have noticed the order counter and the large menu above him lol. So it’s not a sit-down but more like a fastfood carry out place. The tables look nifty enough and a smashing restroom, best one in the area. The menu is pretty basic, that is to say classic fare for Middle eastern eats: shawarma different meat with wrap, salad or entree options. Hummus, babaghanoush, falafel etc. If you get an entree, you could choose the type of salad it comes with. Kudos to the guy who suggested it since my mother who wasn’t very keen on ordering selected lentil soup, sinya salad ala carte then got the entree. She would’ve gotten 2 salads if he didn’t mention it. I ordered the beef shawarma entree which came with yellow basmati rice, and a side of hummus, pita and salad. For the drink, I had the very refreshing mint lemonade. After ordering we sat down and within minutes, our plates, in the form of compostible takeout containers, came out. The food temperature was appropriate and was delicious and an adequate portion. It might be lesser than the competition but I much prefer this size than an extra large where leftovers often go to the bin. The con would be some of the tables weren’t clean but not that it was disgusting, I could see crumbs. The bathroom also had some crumpled tissue on the floor. So maybe some customers are just not cleaning after themselves. Named after a village in Palestine, this new spot is a welcome addition to levantine group of places in the neighborhood.

A good spot to grab a quick bite; service was fast during my visit and portions are good too. I had the falafel and spicy chicken wraps. Both were well seasoned, and I thought the falafels were especially good. The ingredients tasted very fresh, and the staff here is responsive and warm too.

“Food was fresh, delicious, and the homemade hot sauce added the perfect amount of heat to every bite.”

Food was fresh, delicious, and the homemade hot sauce added the perfect amount of heat to every bite. The falafels were flavorful and crispy on the outside (not greasy) while the gyro meat was tender and thinly sliced. I will definitely go back for a tasty quick bite.

“Had the chicken shawarma wrap.”

Had the chicken shawarma wrap. $11 with tax. I felt it was a little dry. They offer garlic sauce (mayo) and a spicy sauce with it. The wrap had enough flavor for me. Tasty meal & good size for the price. I was hoping for more veggies inside, but maybe I had a different idea of what I was in for. I’d have to check the description again. I’d stop back to try their other dishes. Glad to have them in the neighborhood. Try their lemonade with mint! It was quite refreshing.

“I love Mediterranean food so I was really excited to try this place.”

I love Mediterranean food so I was really excited to try this place. I got the falafel, chicken swarma, mango drink and lentil soup. Unfortunately, the chicken in the swarma was extremely dry and the falafel was hard. Overall, I just expected a bit more since the reviews ar so great.
