Although the falafels were a bit under-seasoned to what I crave, their mujadra, hummus, pita, and baba ghanouj were delicious

AMAZING food. I got the tilapia fish platter, mujaddarah (so good), and salad - also got a kifta kabab to go (also verrry good). My friend got a shawarma with yogurt and we also got hummus. The server was so so nice and kind. The seasoning was so good and the leftovers I brought home were still great the next day. Parking was great on a sunday evening, highly recommend you try this place!!

Good authentic middle eastern food and good service!! Big portions (shared combo plate between two people , so it’s well worth the price and good quality! Nice attentive wait staff! Parking is street parking, and free so it’s not bad! Will be going back.

We had chicken shawarma and chicken breast kabob with no rice and extra salad. The chicken was tasty, tender and juicy and the portions were very generous. Friendly service as well.

Ordered catering for office, staff really enjoyed the meal. Vegetarians in the group didn't mind picking around the meat to get to the flavorful rice underneath and everyone loved the falafel. Definitely a favorite with the team, will be ordering from here again.

I second the review stating that food is overcooked. Maybe refried.No garlic sauce for falafel and soupy salad. Overall lacking flavor.15 minutes wait time.
