I accidentally tipped this bag to the side on my way home the stairs so it might look messy. Okay this place is really good and fast. It’s like chipotle but for Mediterranean/Arabic food. Next to jimmy John’s and panda but it’s less busy. Service was really good, portions were huge, food including the pita was warm, salad was not mainly onions for once, hummus was good, Kalamata olives and pickled veggies, garlic sauce, and shawarma rice all included with one chicken shawarma plate. Only issue is it was closeish to close so they were cleaning and the chemical smell was strong so I took it to go. The guy even gave me a piece of baklava after I paid. Not sure if that is common but still very nice.

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.

Instead of fast food nearby my partner and I stopped in here, the food was made so efficiently and fast! We got the chicken shawarma, the chicken was so flavourful and the garlic sauce was so delicious! Should be sold on it’s own! The two men serving us were so kind and we had a quick chat with them! Great customer service and very hospitable!

Appreciate the healthy options, esp for a post-workout session next door. The Chicken Sharma plate is no joke with its main of chicken breast on rice, Greek salad, hummus, olives and pepper AND a pita! Not to mention the garli-tastic sauce that finishes everything so well, as a garlic lover the powerful flavor is my favorite! The Greek fries were also indulgent and gar-nomenal. The worker was prepping to close but dropped everything to make our orders with the upmost quality, cutting no corner despite preparing to close. The owner was so generous and let us try their baklava - YUM! Seating area was clear and the back skillet and surrounding areas were clean. I look forward to supporting this business again soon!
