“I ordered the falafel gyro wrap, hummus appetizer, and the kids burger. Everything was incredibly delicious! Food was fresh and tasty. I can’t wait to go back. They have nice seating inside and there are also table and chairs you can use outside on nice days. I highly recommend!

Kid-friendliness: The kids menu has great options!

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant and restrooms inside require no steps. The tables a spaced out enough that it is easy to pull in a wheelchair to a table.“
