AL AZAYEM

It was my first time trying Al Azayem tonight and I had mixed reactions to their food. Wanting to sample a bit of everything, I got their spicy tikka chicken plate, chef's special lamb plate, falafel salad, and beef schawarma sandwich. The meal came with 3 large pieces of homemade boat-shaped pita, 3 sides of hummus, and 2 side salads (as well as the entrée sized salad with the falafel), and 2 sides of spiced rice. Note: I told them I had an egg allergy so I don't know if anything was modified in my order from the standard menu.While flavors were excellent, the meats were quite dry overall, with the worst being the beef schawarma in the sandwich which was irredeemably dry. Like, maybe a few days old and re-fried kind of dry. No amount of sauce or douses of extra olive oil could save the dehydrated, jerky-like beef chips that lay shriveled amongst a bed of gorgeous fresh veggies and delicious homemade pita. It was depressing to eat. Their talents seem to shine best in the dinner plates, so I will only order from that menu going forward and just forget the sandwiches. I was also very impressed with their falafel and thought this dish was the standout star of the grouping. Each oily little falafel donut was perfeftly crunchy on the outside and pillowy on the inside with good seasoning, and the cheese on the salad with it was a nice touch.

I ate here with my family.Lovely food , beautiful flavors and nice hard working family owned ...Very tasty, good value.I would definitely recommend!

I've driven past this place a few times and I am a huge fan of falafel and I was curious so I stopped in. It was a bit strange as I wasn't greeted or even acknowledged by the staff. Ended up wandering around and found a menu on one of the tables...Seemed way overpriced, falafel appetizer was $13, cheese toast on the breakfast menu was $10, cappuccino $7...Wanted to ask how many falafels were in the appetizer, for that price maybe it was a family size but by then the lone staff member had gone back in the kitchen...waited a few minutes...nothing and nobody so I left... two and not one star to give the benefit of the doubt...maybe it was a bad day? maybe there were dozens of falafels in the appetizer and huge coffees?...will wait for some more reviews before I venture back...

We went on a weekend. There was no one in the restaurant. A scruffy gent greeted us and informed us that most of the things we wanted were not available.The things that were served to us seemed reheated. I would venture a guess that they are more operational on the weekdays with a full menu and chef than on weekends. Alas we went on a weekend.

My daughter and I went on the 8th day of this place being taken under new management so unfortunately what we went for wasn't on the menu any longer. Nice man smiled and greeted us at the door and sat us at an table that we chose. He gave us the new menus as he explained to us that he had everything that was on the new menu and that he had just purchased the business 8 days prior to our visit. We ordered hummus and bread wow!! It's tasty and very fresh and the plating was nice to look at too! The grilled chicken wings covered in herbs and spices they came with a choice of rice or fresh hand cut French fries those fries were awesome much tastier than the frozen crap. Give this place a try it's worth it and not expensive.

Every time I go in here, the people are SO friendly and super nice! Their bread is AMAZING (always ask for an extra!) and everything I've ordered has been truly DELICIOUS! I'm not that adventurous with a Mediterranean menu, but THIS is the place where I would say: "Surprise me!" when ordering. Go support this amazing restaurant!!!

the food was so yummy, my bf and i tried it for the first time and we'll def come back someday. the food came out super fast and really good. staff was super nice and overall a good experience
