Wonderful hospitality and little shop filled with spices and hard to find items for cooking. I ordered the chicken shawarma and falafel plates. I also got to try a baklava. All were excellent and I will be back. I love this opportunity to eat wonderfully prepared food made with the heart.

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would. The food was spectacular, and somehow, the customer service was even better! This place is easy to miss passing by on the street, but make no mistake, it is a true hidden gem. Myself and my 2 friends all agreed we were given such a great experience in the short amount of time we were in there. The food was prepped and cooked directly in front of us, and the kind man making our food was so delightful and warm towards his customers. PLEASE go check this place out!!! You will not be disappointed. This will be a regular stop any time we are back in Monterey.

Had lunch here today. The food was absolutely amazing.The good thing about the food is the taste and the quantity.I usually don't write reviews but this time, I felt like I have to, because of the taste and the customer service.
Very lovely, no-frills traditional small family-owned shop with generous portions of fresh and tasty food at reasonable prices. I had leftovers for several days afterward. The service was great, and the people running the shop were sweet, kind, and very welcoming and attentive. I was just passing through Monterey on a long drive and stopped here for lunch, but if I lived there, I would support this business regularly.

This restaurant is amazing. The platters are fantastic. The ingredients are fresh, the portions are generous and the flavors are outstanding. The baklava is out of this world! Tonight was the first time tried this restaurant. We are in agreement, we will be eating our leftovers for breakfast and will be coming back for dinner tomorrow! We will come here every time we visit Monterey.

The owner is very nice and the food was pretty good, only thing I'm disappointed about is the use of tortillas rather then lavash on the wraps. Otherwise good people and good food.
