Our chicken was cold and a little dry. The young man preparing our food should have not been touching his cell phone!

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The food is delicious and plentiful. I got a gyro wrap and you couldn't even see the pita bread, there was so much meat. I definitely recommend trying this place. When i went around 3pm or so on a Saturday, there was no customers here.

I'm going to keep it shorter and simple.
The food was delicious.
Everything was cooked well.
I would recommend this place but for one thing.
It took damn near an hour to get my food.
I don't know if the Indian dude with the glasses went on break or what but he took my order and I didn't get my food until almost an hour later.
And the other cook was busy with other orders.
So unless you really have time to wait I would not recommend this place.

Love the seasoning on shwarma and bob plate. 2023-2024
UPDATE: 5.1.2025 placed a phone order-Elias use to be my absolute favorite, ordering at least once a week for years to the point they know me by my name. Today i am a tab bit dissapointed- they gave me so much rice which is usually a plus but it does not help because its salty, the meat is scarce -smaller and needs salt. I did eat all my meats except the 2 stuck together on my plate before i took the pic. I may have to cross them off of my list of go to's, if i dont cross them out, i probably wont be back for a long time- because the price it costs is not worth it anymore. i still ove yall tho.

So the old chef has moved on from this establishment and it reflects in the food, the taste of my favorite items are not the same anymore. I had the beef kufta wrap and my last bite the meat was burned. Time to try out other places around the area.

The hummus was very garlicky couldn’t taste anything other than garlic. Had to throw it away. What happened to the quality of your food?

Let's talk as a traveler
The place was good. The people who know the place are expected to be a family. Their manner was very good. Their treatment was kind
Food : This is not shawarma or the right way to make shawarma it was more like burrata
The sauce in the chicken is very obvious. The way the sandwich was made was more like burrata.
Notes: The sandwich must be reduced in size or wrapped correctly to become shawarma
The chicken is clean, the sandwich is clean and the bread is new
You just have to focus on putting pickles + garlic sauce and a little fried potatoes and making the shawarma sauce less clear and browning the meat or chicken more to make it shawarma. You can also add a little parsley and tomatoes and reduce the size of the sandwich or make it thinner.
This is just my comment, I hope you accept it. Thank you for your beautiful spirit that fills the place.
