This place is very good. Their salad reminds me of pico de gallo, just chunkier (but I love it). Prices are decent and good atmosphere. No complaints

Excellent baklava and salads. Chicken needs more seasoning and flavor, though. The location and atmosphere are nice.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that was one of the worst fast food experiences of my life. Employee seemed completely overwhelmed by routine traffic. Didn't seem to understand even basic multitasking skills. After waiting around 20 minutes, the order was wrong, as he had forgotten several things we had ordered. When I returned, he proceeded to take the other orders before getting around to finishing my order. All-in-all, I was there for over 45 minutes. The food, which came out to just under $50 with 18% tip, was utterly disgusting. Burnt falafel, thrown together sandwiches, undercooked french fries. We had to throw the order out and hastily prepare a home meal.

The staff were so nice! Had a vegan shwarma plate and falafel plate. I have to say the food was just okay. Not very flavorful. Each plate came to just about 15 dollars.I'm glad we tried it, but we probably won't come back. Shawrma and falafel usually super flavorful. Most flavored item was the onions.

I ordered the chicken Shawarma hummus plate, like I have been ordering since they first opened. Prices have increased on that item from $9 to $11, but I guess that is understandable. When I got home, I realized that they had given me the wrong item. I went back to the store, show them my receipt and my item and she said “oh I will throw some chicken on the side for you”. She quickly threw some chicken in a container, she must’ve had some sitting out, it was much less than usual, but she said that’s all I get. I ate it two minutes later and it was cold and dry. So disappointing, and not worth the $11 for some hummus and a tiny bit of cold dry chicken, I will not be returning. Used to be one of my favorite places.

The last night of my stay in Woodland we decided to try chickpeas. Now I gave them 5 stars for the food, but if I could I'd give them more for staying open past 7pm which is their closing time. Yelp said 8pm so I called at 6:45pm planning to pickup at 7:15pm. Found out after I got there that they actually closed at 7, so the solo worker that was there got a good tip. The Yelpers I love just wanna hear about the food so lets review... Dolma plate - I used to hate dolmas but I've come to the realization that they are meant to eat with your other dishes. Mediterranean food is just better when its kinda just mixed together. The dolma here is the best I've ever had, the perfect amount of sourness. I am so glad I ordered the dolma plate because they sung in perfect harmony with the rest of the food. Hummus plate with falafel - They hit one out of the park again. Perfectly creamy hummus and super crunchy falafel. It was so good I should've got 2 orders lol. Falafel and hummus is a pretty simple dish but they got it right. Beef and Chicken Shawarma - They messed around and got a triple on this one. I don't understand how much I loved this plate of food and let me explain why I'm so confused. The meat in the dish was the least impressive thing about the shawarma plate but was still pretty good. Now the options for the toppings are a bit limited with 4 options to pick from 5 salads. We chose beet, carrot, onion and red cabbage. All of them brought this plate to the next level. The carrot "salad" I was wary of because they're just really thick slices of slightly pickled carrot but I loved them and wished I got more. The beets were also a favorite. The only disappointment we experienced was not knowing about this place before the last day of our vacation. We would've came here a good 3-4 times if we had known how good it was.

Love this place! Great food and wonderful staff! I was in here a few nights ago and the guy working was all alone and running his tail off! Always fresh and worth the wait!

Delicious, but usually the same person in charge is taking orders and cooking. I gave 3 stars because it took 50 min for the person to do my small order. She did everyone's first because they were to go and left mine last-- even though I ordered way before everyone else. I complaint and she didnt even say sorry. Grr!
Had a great experience here stopping for lunch. My partner and I ordered vegan shawarma plates, and they were delicious. The fries were amazing, and the veggies tasted really fresh.The workers here were really friendly too!!

Sad to post this review as I had enjoyed this place before this experience. Let me say I’ve tasted cigarette ash before by accident. It has a very distinct taste that is not like almost anything else. The hummus I got from here tasted like cigarette ash. That leaves a few possibilities: The hummus was so bad that it tasted like a burnt cigarette, somebody ashed their cigarette in my food, or somebody didn’t wash their hands after getting it all over their hands. Needless to say, will not be back. As anyone who has accidentally ingested cigarette ash has probably experienced, I almost vomited.

I only learned about this place in recent months and I can't drive past it without my mouth watering for their falafel burger.

We went to this place on Friday afternoon. I’m always in Woodland and in downtown, but had never been here. We tried it and LOVED IT! The young gentleman at the counter was probably the nicest, friendliest, and most helpful server I’ve ever encountered. The food was delicious, also! I love Mediterranean food, but had never eaten at a Mediterranean restaurant. I will be back! Thank you!!!!
