Came to Birmingham for a show and found this gem in the Five Points area. Parking can be tricky but I thought this place was definitely worth it! The men behind the counter were very nice and patient and their falafel was the best I’ve tasted anywhere in the southeast. Their chicken shawarma was delicious as well, especially with the garlic sauce. We’ll definitely be back to try more things!

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.

Fully authentic experience, not a cheesy copy n paste setup. The food was wonderful and true to its roots, the service was responsive and genuine, a kid took my order, couldn’t have been any older than 13, the room was appropriately decorated with middle eastern fashion in a tasteful way that wasn’t over done. And they appealed to a western audience with their menu while not deviating from their source. Mr Schwarma is the stuff.

Me & my sister went here for a shawarma bowl bc we seen a tik tok . The food was great definitely a 10/10 but the customer service was iffy . I don’t know if it was because they had just opened but Mr. Osama has a nasty attitude. He didn’t greet us & he was kind of rude . We stood at the register for about 10 mins before he decided he wanted to take our order . The other guy had to step in (idk his name but he was nice thank you ) . Osama for sure needs to work on his attitude . We also was 2nd in line & he gave us our food last after we had to ask was what taking so long. He made us feel very unwelcome
