Cozy comfortable booth seating, but when I was first walking in I was nervous about the food being any good because of the tacky big poster of food-display at entrance- seemed to cheapen the place. And they serve on paper plates with plastic utensils inside plastic sealed bags (like you get at airport!). BUT the food was fabulous! Me and my friend don’t eat meat but I had the Mediterranean plate and my friend had the Falafel plate - both fabulous! Falafel delicious and not dry like so many! I do suggest they should upgrade a tiny bit to wooden compostable/recycle utensils though.

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.

Got catering for the family and everyone loved the food. Ordered beef and chicken kabobs. The rice is definitely the best rice from all the restaurants we have ever ordered. The hot sauce is very unique and has a great kick to it. I tried to take a picture before serving the food but

The food was below average. We ordered Chicken Shawarma plate, Chicken shawarma salad, Chicken Shawarma wrap and Beef Kefta wrap. Kefta Kebaba wrap was good. Chicken was so blank and tasted like boiled chicken served over rice, salad and wrap.
