Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

This was genuinely the worst restaurant experience I have had in a really long time. First, the food is very expensive. $20 for a beef shawarma plate, add $3 for a can of coke, a couple extra pita, extra sauce, tax, you are paying $30 for a shawarma plate. My friends shawarma wrap cost him over $20 dollars. Second, the service was bad. Objectively bad. My friends and I came in and ordered separately, by the time I got my food, my friend was already done with his dinner. If you want all your food at the same time, you have to put all the food on one order, and I'm not even sure this staff would be able to pull that off. 2 of our orders were completely wrong out of 5 total. The cashier had no idea what he was doing, and the chef didn't seem to care. Third. I saved the worst for last: The food. The food was horrible. My beef shawarma was so salty that I couldn't even finish half of it(and I'm a big guy who was very hungry at the time). I think that was the first time I ever I had to stop eating food because it was bad. My buddy got a shawarma plate to-go for his girlfriend and I legitimately feel bad for her. My buddies said that this was just an off night for them, but I'll never know because I will never be back. Good luck to this restaurant! I love Mediterranean food, so I am actually rooting for this place, but if my experience is the norm I am not hopeful.

Order at the counter, they call you when it’s ready. Really delicious kebab and shawarma. We had Shish Taouk Kebab (chicken) and Kefta Kebab. (Beef) very flavorful; completely different spices than we’re used to in the USA.

Most of the food that I ordered from the menu is not available 🥺 a little bit expensive for the taste. Not as authetic as I imagined. The one who took my order doesnt know about the menu. I need to show each one. Service is also slow.
