Yalla Yalla come down and check this restaurant out! You won’t regret it! We had the mankousheh, chicken shawarma plate, and baklava and everything was FANTASTIC! So delicious! Reminds me of my grandmother’s food! I’ll be coming here at least several times a month. You should too! The owner is such a sweetheart. Made my day!!

This is the only time I ever threw out a shawarma. The chicken tasted like mutton which is even gamier than lamb. The baklava was better, but it is not the most fleshiest. I felt there is no effort to maintain the interior of the place.

First time trying Mediterranean food and it was delicious! Had a gyro, falafel and baklava! Definitely recommend! The owner was really nice and proud of his food as he should be. Will be back!

Without listing every dish and every ingredient, all I can say is this food is ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR! There is quality in every detail and the flavors are divine! I don't believe there is a single item I wouldn't recommend!And of course the owner, Anan, has exemplary service! He is very friendly and welcoming, which gives the establishment a rare warmth you can not find in big chain restaurants.Most people will complain about the size of the restaurant; that it seems cramped and cluttered [mind you, it hosts an excellent cheesesteak ghost kitchen], but I for one find the establishment endearing and full of character, and coupled with the amazing food and awesome service!I already have returned and will continue to return for the exceptional experience!

Best authentic Taboon bread in town.Also, hands down.. one of the best baklava I’ve ever tasted; most probably better than the ones back home!

Was in area and search for halal food, found this place went and order 3 beaf/lamb gyros.. food was dry with No sauce and tasteless, place was dirty and no place to sit except one table which was swinging (wobbly) like 5 inches.. and gyro were pricey, doesn't worth it.. don't think will visit this place in future and won't suggest this place for others.

Delicious and well prepared Mediterranean food made by a wonderful couple who obviously love what they do. So many delicious Baklava's and other baked goods. Gyros and dolmas are yum. A very wonderful experience. I'm a return customer for sure

Came here for lunch with my dad while my car was getting an oil change across the street. Great lamb Gyro (yeer-oh) would definitely come back! Friendly service as well. 5/5 stars

Yyeeeerrrooooo!!! Yes, not hee roo or ji ro... The baked potato gyro is the best presentation I have had. Non stop flavorful goodness!! The tzatziki is spectacular!! Other than minimal seating, there is no reason not to eat here. Oh... don't even get me started on the deserts!!!

great falafel and hummus! get the platter, it is worth it. great authentic sesame sauce as well. made fresh to order which is appreciated!prices are slightly higher than the photos, 2022 inflation at work. real baklava and bird's nests. worth evey penny. best falafel hummus in area!-1 for no public restroom (some of us really need that) and tight parking situation.

This place is awesome. Authentic and tasty. Today I needed a lamb gyro fix. OMG so good. Beautifully cooked tender lamb. The chicken is also good. The Baklava is fresh . It is all fresh and made to order. I used to drive this place and wonder what? Is it good? Now I don't drive by, because I'll stop and order.

My son and I came here for dinner last week. It's close by my house and I've been in for to go before but had never sat there and had dinner. I think that in the future I will stick to to go, the inside is very very small and cluttered and there's only two or three tiny tables. It's kind of cramped. I ordered the beef Gyro and my son had chicken Shawarma. It was good, not great. The owner kept asking me to order while I was waiting for my son even after I told him twice that I wanted to wait. I ordered some baklava as well which was overly sweet. Probably my taste rather than the baklava itself. All in all this is a decent restaurant. But I wouldn't try to eat there again.
