    This is a must try place. It has a variety of healthy food for anyone's budget from $6 to $20 a plate. The food is prepared as you ordered it. The food is fresh. All the meats are grilled. It has a dining area and a dining out area . It's a great place to bring your family.

    This is going to be an honest review. So two things I ate a few things here and what really stood out was : Falafel wrap Steak protein bowl with chicken shawarma Lentil soup . I am a really picky person when it comes to falafel, I don’t even like eating it that much. But for some reason- the falafel wrap here is something else ! It’s smooth and delicate. I was surprised I actually liked eating the falafel wrap. You have to try it out. When I walk in every time I am greeted with a sample of lentil soup (complimentary ) and it’s light and packed with a lot of flavor. The protein bowl is amazing so many flavors in every bite. Make sure you get the steak with spicy rice and tabula on it.

    My eating experience at this place began as I walked through the doors into this immaculately kept place. It was very impressive to see. Best part was this adorable young girl wearing a hijab with a huge bright smile asking me what I'd like to order. I explained to her; it was my first time there; she offered me the lunch menu. It seemed I ordered everything - Vegetable Combo and House Combo, mixed bowl, Chicken sandwich and plate, homemade Lentil soup; and of course dessert too Pistachio Baklava!! The young gal was so helpful and made my experience a pleasant one...sauces, salads, meats and vegetables; she assured I had every on the menu...and yes...she was right; the "Fire Sauce" was amazing and flavorful...even for an American. I'm still enjoying my meal but had to stop and share what amazing fresh food this is, highest of quality and portions. Everything had its own unique flavor and beautifully prepared. I will definitely come back again for more and to see that adorable bright smiling woman. Thank you for an amazing meal and experience; and of course that bright smile!!

    Today is the first time I bought business lunch, Mixed Combo Special, from Jarasa Kabob. I usually buy from another restaurant down the street from there. The food is amazing! The spicy rice and the yellow rice is well seasoned, not plain tasting like the other store. They use good quality rice. The salad is also well seasoned and they actually put light dressing on it, so fresh! The meal comes with hummus on the side! Falafel is so crunchy and light, the grilled chicken skewers is super juicy and again, well seasoned. The kefta kabob is juicy! I devoured the whole thing with creamy garlic yogurt sauce and fire sauce. The whole thing was $8.95 and I couldn’t even eat the pita bread, just full and satisfied. Not only it’s well worth the money, but the food is amazing, very well seasoned. I will be back for sure!

    First time trying here. Impresses with the warm welcome, free soup sample as well as speedy service. Seats were available as well. Will come back. Its a Halal food restaurant. We came back again, this time we brought the grandparents who were visiting. They love it!

    Visited on 9.25.2023 beyond excited after hearing the rave reviews on this place. Came in and were greeted by a array of staff members that were so friendly, even went on to give me some of his mothers lentil soup! Which was the best part of the meal... before the meal started. We received the mix grill & we asked for the meat to be well done and some of the meat was cold + definitely not well done. Chicken Shawarma Chicken inside was gristly and was not as expected. The hummus was decent and the pita breads aren't even warmed up so just a limp cold bread. I was really hoping this would be the normal stop for me and my family before heading to the airport but the food quality / quantity / cost ratio wasn't there. Afterwards we had to make a stop at a gas station cause the food clearly wasn't fresh. The looks are spot on, service is great, but the food and aura lacks. I probably won't be returning but I won't need to as they have a mass clientele already who enjoy their food. Bonus: Zabiha halal.

    We ordered the Mix Grill with spicy rice and the Arabic Style Chicken Shawarma. For sides we got the Taboulleh salad and Baba Ganouj. The portions are GENEROUS which is a major plus. We enjoyed the Mix Grill more than the Arabic Style Chicken Shawarma. The spicy rice has a good amount of heat and the flavor of the meats was good. The smokiness of the onion and tomato is also nice. The fries were good, but the "garlic" sauce in the shawarma wrap was a bit much. It completely masks the taste of the chicken. I say "garlic sauce" because it tastes more like mayo than an actual garlic sauce. I didn't like the fire sauce. It was a bit bitter for me. We're not a fan of both sides either. The Taboulleh didn't look nor taste fresh. The Baba Ganouj wasn't great but it's not bad. If you'd like to try this place, I'd recommend getting a rice dish instead of a wrap and perhaps different sides.
