“amazing food, good customer service, and a beautiful atmosphere, but no gabagool. Still 5 stars”
“Chicken Shawarma tacos were so good!! Staff is super friendly as well!!”
“Cool concept and the birria tacos were really good! I also enjoyed the horchata. Overall, flavorful food.”
“Super nice staff and the food was DELICIOUS. Make the trip out here!!!”
“This resteraunt has great bowls to choose from! I usually get falafel, which is made right in front of you! The vegetables are fresh, their sauces are flavor combinations that genuinely combine well with the rest of the meal. The staff are very friendly and polite. The wait is woth it, because waiting for fresh falafel is a good use of your time.”
“It was nice. Really fresh food. Generous proportions and it wasn’t busy at all so I got my food pretty quickly.”
“YUM - we went to Saffron and Salsa, which is a Mexitterean Fusion casual spot which brings Mexican and Mediterranean together. And it is DELICIOUS!! You pick the vehicle - taco, burrito, bowl, quesadilla - then add the protein. From there you can customize what you want - various toppings and plethora of sauces that has mexican saffron verde and Mediterranean garlic sauce. Plus add elotes, hummus, falafel and finally baklava. The flavors were amazing, the food was super fresh, and great service.”
“this restaurant is literally so underrated. i go there with my mom on every sunday, the food is amazing. i get the normal rice, chicken shawarma, black means, tomatoes and cucumber, with garlic and sour cream on top. i’ve never changed my order because it’s literally so amazing. i get the fries too but those are a bit bland but still so good. i don’t know if the drink comes with the food or the fries but they give a large drink to go with something. it’s literally such an amazing restaurant omg”
“Food was great. I always stop by here whenever I work by the area. Deals are appreciated and food is flavorful with some spice! Easy to speak to and always can trust them without looking literally. Went in for a burrito today told the lady hey I'm going to Circle K to get a drink. Make it how you make it for yourself. Came back got the burrito and it was an explosion of flavor!”
