“I had the chicken Shawarma lunch special, the presentation was amazing literally like the pictures I didn’t know where to begin. The lentil soup taste good The salad was perfect just the right amount of salad dressing. The chicken and the rice and hummus just overall everything was amazing. Yes, I will be back.”
“Nice spot for Mediterranean food! They have a limited menu of mainly falafel, chicken, some beef and lamb options, some vegetarian options. Seems fairly popular for take out , there is free delivery for UC students with grubhub Portion size is excellent, filled up really well and had extras to take home. Its free seating (choose where you want), around 7 pm not too busy in store. Food came out hot and fresh Would come back again!”
“Great cause. Wonderful and grounded people (Elijah has some great community engagement ideas, I can NOT WAIT to experience) Food delicious!”
“This place doesn't seem to miss. I orded the Falafel wrap with extra cucumber and salad greens. The upgrade cost was minimal and it was perfectly proportioned. I usually get the Arab Swag tacos, now I have a new favorite. This is all good news to rack up more points to save on future purchases. Obviously I will return!”
