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

For a rainy afternoon, they were steadily busy. Which is always a good sign. I love Mediterranean food especially chicken and so I do frequent a few spots locally, but have never been here. I ordered their half chicken, which came with two sides. I chose rice and tabouli salad, but did not like the tabouli salad as I don’t like parsley and that is basically what it was. The Chef offered to give me another side instead, which was very kind of him. I chose hummus. He also gave me pita bread. The hummus and pita were amazing!! The rice was good and the chicken was average. Give this place a try if you like a Smokey flavor. (They close pretty early in the day, also. They “didn’t have kabobs because they were closing soon, and the smoke is off” I stopped in around 1p.)

This place smelt amazing even from outside the restaurant, so I knew I was in for a treat. Sam the owner was so friendly, he made some great recommendations and the chicken was the best I have ever had! His homemade chili garlic sauce is an absolute must. Go and check this place out, you will not be disappointed!

Whoever is the person that said the food had no flavor had Covid. All the reviews kill that lie! Oh Em Gee!!!! This was an amazing first time experience. I got the chicken shawarma sandwich and the taste exploded and sent my taste buds into ⚡️ 😳!!! I highly recommend trying this place out. I honestly cannot think of a shawarma that tasted better than this.
