    The first time i tried the steak shawrma in pita bread and it tasted like i was in the Middle East honestly everything ive tried so far has has been Amazing the chicken shawrma sandwich was so tender and full of flavor. And the falafel was so crispy from the outside and so fluffy from the inside.

    since the day I moved to the U.S I haven't had a good shawerma or falafel nor hummus. Thanks to the new owner Alramahi, this is the first time I feel that I'm eating a real shawerma like overseas (Jordan) This is the 5th day in a row I go and eat shawerma for lunch. Hands down best shawerma in the states, I have also tried the falafel and the stuffed grape leaves. I'm so impressed with the with the taste, great job. They also have a wide variety of meals that looks amazing and can't wait to try it. Thank you

    Food and Service is amazing. The workers are very friendly to all of their customers. Not a big fan of the zinger wrap. I'd recommend trying other items on the list that are in your interest Best place for lunch breakfeast lunch and dinner

    Service is completely out of this world ! We came here at an Uber recommendation , and they went above and beyond . We came here all the way from Texas and if there’s one thing you need to do , it’s to try their food !!! This place is beyond delicious !!! Literally the best shawarma of your life ! Ghada and Ahmad were absolutely amazing !

    We stopped in and was treated so well. Their food is so good and you get a lot! Enough to fill you up! The young man who took our order was so kind and gave me a free drink. I informed him it was our first time and he was so gracious. The food was cooked to order, hot, and fresh. Very delicious! We will stop in again. Sorry I didn't take any pics but I will next time! Oh yes, those french fries are to die for, better than McDonald's or burger King or anywhere we've tasted ! Don't ever change your recipe!!! Thanks so much for a great lunch and service with a 😃

    Love it! Fresh meat and good portion. This is a very under rated spot. Great job and bravo to them. Chicken over rice plate is tasteful and fills you up. The fries have this “homey” taste. I love it

    Best french fries I've had in recent memory. Crisp, a little spice. Maybe a little lemon? Whatever, they're great. I also had the mixed Gyros - really good. I'll definitely be back. Really busy at meal-times.

    Hidden gem for sure. Shawarma wraps are fantastic. Mix over gym rice is phenomenal. Must try if you had to pick one thing from the menu. Been coming here for years and quality has always been retained. Always a pleasant experience.

    One of the best Mediterranean restaurants I've been to. Definitely in my top 3, I've had the lamb gyro plate and the lentil soup, i got hooked and I'm sure the other dishes are just as tasty. Aside from the great dishes, thank you to Mr.Yazn for the excellent customer service.

  • 5/5 Soso L. 6 months ago on Google
    Highly recommended. Such good workers and great service I was very impressed of how nice and polite they were with me. The food JUST WOW! So delicious and tasty I got the chicken sandwich and rice over chicken shawarma and lamb. Don’t hesitate to step in and try their food.

    The saaj was a little too thin for my liking. So it broke apart fairly quickly. But the falafel sandwich was quite tasty. Very good portion size as well.

  • 5/5 Jillian Alexis T. 11 months ago on Google
    I absolutely love the #2 Chicken we get only onions with extra white sauce and hot sauce... Don't forget the fries to cool down your mouth! Also try the Vimto... It reminds me of a red cream soda 🥰

    Ordered online...picked up at the drive thru. Excellent food... Hummus is amazing. Weird not getting any pitas for the hummus. I'm still a happy customer.

  • 5/5 Hareth A. 1 year ago on Google
    We loved it! The food was fresh, delicious and so tasty! The restaurant staff went above and beyond to make us happy and feel like home. While waiting at the drive thru on a cold winter night, they offered us free tea and lentil soup until our order was ready. I would highly recommend them.

    I had Hakuna Matata for the first time today. I got the falafel over rice. It was so delicious, and the sauce was AMAZING. The service was exceptional with very friendly staff, and the man working even gave me a free drink! I am definitely coming back.
