We stopped here to grab some Mediterranean food, which is actually a small kitchen setup inside a liquor shop. Unfortunately, there’s no seating available. We noticed many takeout orders. We ordered chicken shawarma, falafel shawarma, chicken shawarma plate, and salad plate. The food was delicious and fresh, not too spicy, and had a great taste. The prices were comparable to those of a typical restaurant. Overall, we were satisfied with our experience.

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.

Overall it was fine. Not the best Mediterranean I’ve had, chicken shawarma is my favorite food so I’ve had a lot! Perhaps just a different kind of flavor than I typically like. My husband had the gyro meat and it was good. The plates were $$$ for a carryout gas station restaurant, running $20-$25 per meal, but large portion sizes with leftovers. The salad was over dressed. Hummus was great. Small side of rice for $5 was huge and loved by my 3 year old. Not sure I would come back but it worked for our family tonight. Definitely call and order ahead, waiting in the liquor store was less than ideal with two small kids.

Hole in the wall place, we almost took a pass but glad we gave it a try. Everything but the pita bread was outstanding!!! Delicious authentic tasting food!
