Was in a part of town that I don’t live in and needed something to eat. My friend and I literally just googled whatever was nearby and decided to take a chance… So glad we did!

It’s a small place, very casual and I will absolutely be going back.

Wednesday for lunch on jury duty.
Ordered #5. Everything was really authentic, fresh and tasty.
$16.45 for chicken breast kebab, rice, salad, small lentil soup, hummus, pita.
Surprisingly every single thing was good and the quantity was just right for the price (incl. leftovers). Will come again.
