What a great place with really good food!!! Small hole in the wall with just 2 tables but most people there were like me... takeout. I ordered a lot...I wanted to try different things.
Lamb shank with yogurt was wonderful and curry lamb stew was good...though I like stronger curry...but that's just a personal preference...but it was still delicious.
Hummus is good.
The meat in the gyros was not as flavorful as I had hoped...but still it was good.
Overall,...

Visiting from Colorado this place came up and I am now considering moving to Tempe. The food is so fresh and so delicious! You can tell they really care about authentic flavors and ingredients. Stacy, the gorgeous woman who took our order was fantastic and so kind and accommodating. I cannot believe there is not more hype here but I will be back!

Stacy rocks! The food slaps! No line? Why isn't there a line out the door. The food was fresh and Stacy is a Badass. If you're in town or just a local. You should pop in to the Wessen. Tell them Mence sent you.
