Authentic middle eastern food. We ordered a bowl and a wrap of falafel and both were delicious. The service was great and they inquired if the food was good. We found the bowl to be a little dry so they brought extra sauce.

Got a rice bowl with steak and added feta cheese. 😋 They were very generous with the portions of both those things which is good since they cost extra. Also tried their Soda and that was good. Did a pick up order and ate there. Pick up was on time even tho it was busy. Sat down and an employee or the owner came by and asked if everything was tasting good which it was. Restaurant was clean despite lunch rush.
