I love the beef shawarma plates

Nice and clean store good service, friendly employees helpful , Nasser the cashier is very helpful and take care of the customer. Recommend to get your things from the Arabic store

I been a customer here and the manager Naser he’s fantastic and helped me over the phone and in person to order and save time
Will definitely be back here

Great spinach pie ! Glad to be back !

Bald cashier with glasses I urge you to change your attitude with customers I know with all certainty that you aren’t the only ME store in the Bay Area, I’d be happy to take my business elsewhere. Your customers shouldn’t be treated with such disrespect because of whatever problems you have or just cuz you’re having a bad day. Just keep in mind we are or were your customers.

Stay away from the deli. They are all past the expiry dates.
I ordered a kubedeh and chicken gyro.
The meat was dry and had a questionable taste.

Don’t order food from here. Took them 30 minutes to make the worst kebab I’ve ever had.

Excellent variety and good effort. Falls short of delivering real taste. Lamb shawarma lacking any spices or flavor, might as well be called a pulled lamb wrap. How difficult can it be to make a decent shawarma sandwich that tastes somewhat authentic. Same with the manakeesh, so simple to make yet the dough is too thick and zaatar too dry. This place could have so much potential and I keep trying it every few months, hoping something will change. I can't understand why people go through all the effort to serve mediocre food. They can do better and should. Service could be quicker too.

Good dessert but I don’t like a 10 dollar minimum that the cashier keeps forcing me and charges additional .50 cents if I use a credit card. It was not posted anywhere. Never going there again.

Best falafels ever! Falafels taste better in the wrap.

Love this store its my go to for most of my grocery needs.The staff is friendly and always makes me feel welcome. If you stop by make sure to try something from their restaurant. Their manakish are great!

Good meat available here

Family owned neighborhood store. Very nice for buying herbs, spices, teas, fruits, nuts, fresh produce, and glass jars with sauces and vegetables. Very friendly cashier always says hi and is ready to provide help when needed. Has a small kitchen that sells pizzas and delicious Mediterranean dishes.

Amazing inventory. Great team. Very welcoming attitude. Not very effective ordering process for food. After all, I will certainly go back

Good selection, some items are a bit on the pricier side, but we like the owner. He is very friendly.
