“I had a really delicious falafel bowl for lunch! The fresh falafel tasted delicious, along with the hummus and chickpea salad. The service was also great. Overall, a really filling and healthy lunch. Thanks!”

“The IDOF fries is to die for!! Maybe stick with hummus or their signature spicy sauce. I wasn’t a huge fan of the falafel or the garlic sauce they had.”

“I could eat this every day!! 😊 This is one of my favorite places in the area. I order several times per week and is always yummy! Take out or dine my food is always fresh and delicious. The friendly staff and the clean restaurant makes this place a perfect spot for lunch or dinner. 👌”

“Chicken Kebab is CONSTANTLY undercooked. This is the third order I’ve gotten with very undercooked chicken. PLEASE fix this. I like the food here too much for it to be unsafe to consume due to something very easily fixable.”

“You know I’ve been going here since it opened on Belmont. I ordered it online for the first time and it was so disappointing and upsetting. When you go in person they give you a normal portion size, I ordered online and it was clear they were totally taking advantage over it being an online order. It was tiny and not the same thing you get when you walk in. As a loyal customer it makes me not want to go back. Come on do better than that. You should get a similar portion as you do when in the store. This is how places go out of business. Correct this.”
“Absolutely amazing food and outstanding service. Highly recommended!”
“Wasn’t sure what to expect but the falafel was fresh and honestly bomb”
