Stop reading! Just come in... you won't be sorry.Their food is amazing. We are working our way through the menu - but the lunch special is a great place to start.I get the steak shawarma, usually pita but today I got the wrap. Comes with fries and a drink. $9. Score.The bowls are also great, and great value.The owner is really nice, and he makes this lentil soup to his family recipe and it is phenomenal.Place is clean and bright. Bathrooms are clean.Parking in lot out front. Am stopping by every time I'm in the neighborhood. You should too !!

It all started with a welcome! This is a walk up counter order place. I saw a huge menu and quickly narrowed it down to kafta and chicken kabob skewers. While I was reading the menu though the "pusher" behind the counter offered me a small taster of the lentil soup. There are a few things that will make me immediately buy something. That little cup of soup was just the thing to push me over the edge. I ordered a cup of soup, the skewers of meat and the yellow rice. I considered spicy rice, but I need a baseline. Everything was absolutely wonderful! The Kafta kabobs were packed with flavor and meat was tender. The chicken kabobs were just as flavorful. The yellow rice was exactly as I expected and the soup was the shining star of the entire meal. I wonder if they sell it by the gallon. The ambiance has reflections of Boston Market, except for the lights. I do like the lights a lot. I will definitely be back.

Placed a pickup order from here. Order was ready on time. The place is bright and clean inside, with the kitchen in plain view behind the long counter.I had really high hopes because of all the great reviews, but I think how they cook some of the food is just not quite to my taste. Both the chicken shawarma and falafel were good, but basically on par with other Middle Eastern restaurants. I liked how there was a greater variety of salads and spreads to put in my bowl compared to other similar restaurants, but they were really hit or miss. In general, things seemed to be way more pureed than I'm used to. Hummus and baba ghanouj tasted great, but pureed to a silk so there wasn't any texture - no sign of the chickpeas or eggplant that went into them. Same with the lentil soup- I prefer having some evidence of lentils. Fava bean salad was extremely sour - to the point where I wondered whether it had gone bad - I couldn't eat it. Muthawma (potato and garlic dip) tasted oddly cheesy to me - wasn't my thing.Fries were fantastic, and the kid's meal was huge. And the fried garlicky pita croutons were a nice surprise touch for the lentil soup. Glad I tried this place, but I'll stick to my other usual spots in the future.

Absolutely delicious. I have tried this place twice now and can't wait to go back. The food is all very fresh and packs a punch of flavor. My favorite are the bowls due to the wide range of options and sauces. Almost feels like I'm ordering a poke bowl. I have ordered the bowl with rice /chicken and salad/steak with various sauces and toppings and free extras. The lentil soup is also amazing . This is my new favorite spot, prices can't be beat. Get the feta fries!

Had a really lovely experience from ordering to eating and even getting extra takeout after the meal. Everyone at the counter was super helpful navigating the impressive menu. Meals were deftly delivered to the table and everything was incredible. Really cannot say enough about how much flavor was imparted into every item.

Food was great. Falafels were amazing. Definitely switching here for my Mediterranean food cravings. Great staff and a place that I highly recommend this establishment.

One of my favorite go to Mediterranean places! The lunch special price here is unbeatable and a great portion. I love the spicy rice here. The staff are always great.

This is new favorite spot! My husband and I happened to stop by for lunch as we were driving around looking for something to eat. We got the chicken and steak shawarma in pita lunch special that included drink and fries. Yoooo let me tell you- that chicken sandwich was so incredibly delicious that we are here again just a week later! It was garlicky, slightly spicy, creamy from the sauce, warm and delicious!! The fries were also very good. There is easy, free parking right out front, and the restaurant itself is very nice; casual, with plenty of booth seats. Furthermore, they are super friendly! We were greeted and brought little samples of the lentil soup, which was delicious! It was cold outside so being greeted with a nice little cup of warm soup was very appreciated. We now look for things to do on this side of town just so we can come to this place to try more things on the me

Food is Amazing The costumer service is great Clean nice setting authentic middle eastern food
