The food and the service was excellent! I brought my fiancé who's never really had middle eastern food before, and they made some suggestions for her to try. We got Baba ghanoush, hummus, falafel, and a shawarma combo plate. Everything was very fresh and delicious. Prices were very reasonable and the portions were good. I will definitely be returning, this place is definitely a neighborhood gem.

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.

This place is a true neighborhood gem. Having worked nearby for years, I can say with confidence that this is one of the most welcoming restaurants you'll ever find. It’s a family-run business, operated by four brothers who inherited it from their father. Their dedication to continuing his legacy is clear in every detail. The brothers and their staff treat every customer with genuine warmth, making you feel right at home. They have an outstanding reputation for a reason: the service is impeccable, the atmosphere is cozy, and the food is phenomenal. While I personally believe their chicken shawarma with everything is heaven on a plate, you truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. If you are anywhere in the area, this is the place to eat. You are guaranteed to leave with a smile on your face. Tell them Jimmy sent you.

Amazing food-- I rather enjoyed the pita bread more here than any other Mediterranean place I've been to. The fries were outstandingly well seasoned too. The Chicken schawarma platter comes with an onion and small salad consisting of tomatoes and cucumber(?), along with the pita bread. Overall (my chicken already had garlic sauce on top so if you don't like that make sure to tell them first, but I particularly love garlic) , my order was 21$ for the platter, the fries, and a bottle of water. I'd argue it was rather amazing value for money, but they have no public restroom and no free water, and didn't include a fork in my bag, leading to me going on a rather wild goose chase in order to obtain one.
