“When you get there, you just need to skip the line and go to the cashier to ask for your takeout Dine in: I haven't dined in before, but the line is astronomical during weekday lunch time, and the seating seems tight given everyone is in line around you”
Mediocre at its best. As someone who is familiar with this kind of food, I was highly disappointed.
So I ordered the hummus with falafel and veggies and honestly it was very under whelming..
got their Gyro at lolapalooza and it was the worst gyro I've ever had, soggy pita, limp spoiling cucumbers, poor seasoning choice, and a miniscule amount of watery bland tzatziki, why are you pre- making them, a gyros takes like 10 seconds to make, you're a disgrace to all things food.

“These bowls are actually insane get the chicken shawarma bowl.”
These bowls are actually insane get the chicken shawarma bowl. It also has a chipotle like line so you get to pick the different things. lastly they have fries out if nowhere and their deliciously crispy. TOTALLY check this place out!

“A great spot for lunch.”
A great spot for lunch! I didn’t realize it was like a Mediterranean subway until I walked in lol but they were quick and helpful at getting me the right sandwich! The cashier was super kind and helped sort out my confusion about checkout. The gyro wrap was very tasty and hit the spot, and the fries are great very crunchy and the right amount of salt! Yum! It gets crowded so make sure you set aside enough time to go on your lunch break 😄

“Fast casual spot that takes it to the next level.”
Fast casual spot that takes it to the next level. The chicken is savory and the falafel is phenomenal. Come hungry because the portions are generous. Don't for get to add fries or soup if you want to, and never skimp on this sauce! The team at this location are great!!!!!!

This is one of my favorite places to eat in the city. So delicious 😋 the chicken and spicy falafel 🧆 are awesome. Do add their garlic sauce. It’s creamy and yummy with the spicy sauce. 🤌 I had taken so many of my friends here!

“First time ordering here via Ritual.”
First time ordering here via Ritual. Portions are excellent with plenty of sides included in the box. See my picture for beef amd lamb combo box with white rice, hummus, baba ganoush and corn. I could've added the Jerusalem salad and should've. The shop smelled fantastic when I picked my order up. Happy with my order, everything was tasty and will eat here again.

Food is AMAZING! Staff is rude and rush you a lot. Been visiting this location for years and owner doesn’t take a note of this issue….but food is good. I would give 5 stars if staff is not so rude and pushy.

“It's good, but not amazing.”
It's good, but not amazing. I've had naf naf and roti and think they're superior. I will say the portion is extremely large, but you pay a pretty high price as well. I had the bowl and fries + drink and it was over $20. Probably my bad on getting the fries when I couldn't even consume that much food but I still think the price is quite steep. It's good but I just found the flavors lacking compared to other Mediterranean style places I've had before. The fries that everyone raves about I also thought were just ok. Mine might have been slightly overcooked but the seasoning and cheese made them good. They definitely weren't amazing or anything tho.

Really good food and big portions of it but OMG the music is loud in there, it was impossible to hear what people were saying to me.

This is one of my favorite Mediterranean/Mid Eastern food places that follow the "Chipotle" model of walking down an assembly line for your bowl or wrap. I usually get a salad or rice bowl with chicken or beef shawarma. The options for hummus, corn, cabbage and other fresh vegetables cover your greens with hot and tahini sauce. You won't leave hungry with the large portions and beware of almost every person on the assembly line asking you to add fries regardless of how many times you say no.

So I ordered the hummus with falafel and veggies and honestly it was very under whelming... I was honestly hungry after this meal. To top it off one of my sauces had hair in it but luckily they quickly exchanged it out. Not sure I know what’s so special about this place. To top it off their signage is pretty terrible and very tough to find. Hopefully they step it up a bit. Also my falafel were green for some reason and very small - never seen that before - they were ok but honestly for what I got I prefer to go to naf naf. Way more food for your buck and amazing pita! Don’t see my self coming back here sadly because I really did want to like it!
