The Block

The best thing about this establishment among their fresh baked breads, pies, etc is the fact that they serve Salaam Cola and do not fund the zionist movement! The food we ordered came out within 20 minutes of ordering. The fresh made bread comes out hot and perfectly done! We ordered egg shaksuka, falafel, plate of pickles, labne, and one cheese manaeesh. They serve breakfast all day and everything is halal. Cannot wait to go back and try their mix grill and lunch items.

Small place with 4 tables. Feels like a fast casual spot. Make sure you valet park. There is a big sign in the parking lot that you must valet park. We ordered a veggie pizza and my husband thought it was great. I thought it was fine. Would like to try the zaatar and cheese pies. I saw people picking up orders for parties. Free tea and we bought a Turkish drink from a cooler.The kitchen makes food for the business next door SIR. It's a hookah bar and was hopping. They were having a buffet dinner for Ramadan and servers were flying out the front door to take food over.Do they have 15 minute parking spots for food pick up? That would help.

The food wasn't tasty like some other places that we have been too.We ordered lamb chops and chicken kabab. Both of them had absolutely no Flavor. The food was really over priced. The best part of this restaurant was the service the way it looked i thought it was a nice set up.

Perfect for late night Eats, fresh food with authentic flavors. The lamb is so tender it literally falls off the bone. Service was great! Very friendly staff and we received our food quickly. They have 2 sides, one for just dining and the other side seems to be for food/lounging which stays open alittle later. They also have easy parking and pretty cool decor in the inside.

Fresh and good Middle East food. And they are consisting in the flavor and taste since we have been there several times ordered the same thing. Tabbouleh salad, foul medames baba Ghanousj and hummus and shawarma with pita bread. Just the fresh pita bread with hummus is worth the visit alone. The portion should be bigger in my opinion, hence not full score

Quantity became less for the same priceFirst time purchased it was circle bowl Second time purchased this changed to rectangular

I can't comment much about the food and service here, as I ordered through door dash. Though food wise I was disappointed. I ordered the schwarma platter, which was ok, but the meat was definitely dry and lacked flavor. I also tried my friends Pide and Schwarma wrap and their food was also dry and lacked flavor. I had to add extra seasoning like Sumac, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Overall, the food did not turn out well for delivery, but I hear the place is better to visit in person, but I wouldn't try again.

Very misleading advertising and staff does not fully wear masks. The food does NOT match the appetizing photos featured on the website or the brochures. The pizza is NOT wood-fired. I beamed when I saw a large pile of small wooden logs next to the oven, but to my dismay and disappointment, the staff member simply pressed a button and the oven heated up with propane gas. No logs in the oven. I felt bamboozled. Red Flag #1 While waiting for the pizza, I noticed several staff members partially wearing masks to cover their mouth but not their noses. A couple of members didn't even wear masks working in the kitchen. Red Flag #2Hubby ordered a Neapolitan Margherita Pizza and received a cheese pizza with no basil and shredded mozzarella cheese. Not at all like the scrumptious Margherita Pizza with fresh cheese and basil advertised online. The cheap tasteless pizza was a total let down. Reg Flag #3The Spinach Pide was the highlight of the meal with diced onions and spinach with lots of bold spices and smothered in cheese. Very authentic and did match the menu description. Not all the items are made fresh to order. The falafels are frozen and the mini pizzas and savory pastries look stale sitting in the glass display case. The staff is a bit stand-off and the hours should be clearly posted on the website particularly during Ramadan. Before I left yesterday, I checked on Google and confirmed that the restaurant was still open around 8pm. However when I got there, the staff snickered and apathetically informed me the restaurant closed a 1/2 hour ago for the Ramadan buffet next door at Sir sandwich shop (which was packed!). I left disappointed and after giving them another shot the next day, the "Margherita" pizza left much to be desired. While the Spinach Pides are tasty, I feel shafted by the misleading advertising and lack of Covid precautions. Won't be coming back!

Great chicken shawarma and beef and steak sandwich. I would recommend for anyone looking for a quick bite of middle eastern food.

Very disappointed with the new style of the shawarma sandwiches. The Block now uses a hoagie style roll instead of Lebanese bread. Also, the sandwich was served without French fries--this is another change. Please revert back to using the Lebanese bread for a shawarma sandwich. Otherwise don't call it a shawarma sandwich. ADDENDUM: The owner kindly let me know that they would revert to using Lebanese bread. That would be great, because the sandwiches were excellent.
