“Very good lunch special 17 dollars for alot of food. I had the combo platter full of flavor and the gyro meat is fire. Place is clean and the cook was nice and paid attention to detail”
“Just the path from the door in makes you feel welcoming. I asked what's good here after ordering a gyro "he said everything is good here. The aftermath or a speechless pic! Come get yourself a treat dish. A la carte*”
“It was so good! I just moved to the area from the suburbs and we don't have food like this out where I'm from. I will absolutely be back to try the rest of the menu.”
“I went there for lunch and tried the beef shawarma plate which hit the right notes with its flavor and warmth. The staff were kind and took care of me without any fuss. I appreciated the hearty portion and how everything felt satisfying but not over the top. The place has a relaxed, easygoing feel that makes coming back appealing. I would definitely return again soon.”
“Huge fan. Staff is great. The space is clean. And the food has been the best we’ve had in a long time.”
“Excellent food. Had the combo set and it was so fresh, delicious and thoughtfully made even though it's a fast casual, everything was seasoned to perfection. The basmati rice was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. The falafel is to die for, it is one of the best I've had. Price is so reasonable too for what you get nowadays. Friendly service. Will be back!”
“One of the best flavorful beef shawarma I’ve ever had. I ordered the Greek salad with beef shawarma on top. I highly recommend if you’re in the area, you have to try.”
“Maybe it was my bad going to a place called Mr. Kabab and not getting the kababs but food here was only average. Combination platter had decent chicken but both the gyro and falafel were underwhelming. Hummus was decent though a touch too grainy. Baba ganoush had great texture and smokiness but needed more salt and acidity. I’ll update this review with my final verdict after I come back to try the kababs.”
“Excellent service, food's good and prepared fast. Recommended.”
