Small Arabic/Mediterranean place, we came for the pita bread, made fresh that day! Looks like mostly just for take-out and door dash type orders, not really a sit-in place. But friendly staff and good food.

Stuck at home with Covid and eating Chicken Kebob! I feel so much better! The chicken was prepared just the way I like it, the salad and humus are great! Thank you!

There’s something special here. I try not to eat meat, but I was sorely tempted by the chicken schwarma stack. The kabab looked great too.

I had a falafel. It was unusual in its inclusion of picked veg that resembled daikon. The falafel wrap was beautifully finished with grilled sear, which also helped the wrap to hold together better than many other places that do falafel wraps.

Really enjoyed this place. The food was amazing and great in a pinch before a show at the Fox Theater. The presentation was great. I really enjoyed the food, though was not in love with the amount of arugula in the dish. The hot sauce was delicious and I only wish I could have more of it.

This location, however, really is best for takeout. There are seats outside, but nothing special.

Don’t misunderstand, the food is delicious. However, I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease, and it pains me to be limited to much narrower options of where to eat. The falafel on uber eats is very prominently labeled Gluten Free but it comes served on top of non-GF pita bread, which could cause a severe reaction in those who are celiac. I don’t wish ill on this business, their food is delicious, but the uber eats app doesn’t even have the option to ask for them to remove the pita bread from the order. I just wish there was more transparency on the gluten quality of the food

The Falafel was old and kept under a heat lamp and it sucked

My favorite neighborhood spot to order in from when I’m feeling lazy. Always solid, fresh, and generous portions. Chicken shawarma wrap is my go-to with curly fries but the falafel is great. Can’t speak for everything on the menu but everything I get never disappoints.

Charred meat, charred skewers, charred chunks, and charred vomit. I did the last part all by myself.
