My guess is that the kitchen staff doesn't know what middle eastern food should taste like. I grew up in the middle east so was excited to try a restaurant I didn't know, and ordered out what the menu calls vegetarian combo plate with lamb and beef shawarma. A taste of everything.
The meat was overly seasoned, the falafel was undercooked, the hummus was terrible, the tabooleh was dry, and the dolma tasted like straight out of a jar. They all went to the trash. At least I had the salad and the baba ghanoush (as the menu spells it. The only item which tasted authentic) to eat with the store-bought pita bread wedges.
Bottomline - a terrible representation of middle eastern cuisine.

Not great. It was $15 for a shawarma wrap, and I found it to be pretty bland and very messy. It was pretty expensive for what it was and left more to be desired in value and flavor. I wouldn't come back, instead I would recommend zareens down the street.

The food tasted alright, nothing bad but nothing so great either, as one would imagine based on all the reviews. We took the falafel plate (the baba ghanoush tasted very good) and a chicken shawarma plate - the taste didn't live up to its looks - see picture - I found it to be lacking in flavor.

Not sure what happened - I used to like this place a lot but the food I just had tasted really low quality. I got a beef and lamb Schwarma wrap and a side of baba ganoush and both were pretty lousy, as if they are really skimping on ingredients waaay too much.
Lavash: actually a tortilla. Meat: tasted low quality, poor flavor. Salad: wilted. Tahini: over salted. Harissa: tasted more like tomato paste with chili peppers mixed in. Eggplant: not sure what was wrong with it, but I threw it out. Falafel: these were good, maybe a bit oily.
Won’t be going back. Bummer, I used to like it here.
