Eat here and you won't regret it. I'd never had swarma before and wanted to give a try. I placed three order and one of them was falafel sandwich. When we received the orders we weren't disappointed, it was huge. It was to go. (Caution: asked for extra tin foil to avoid a mess, if your driving) I tasted the chicken swarma and it didn't disappoint. I took a bit of the falafel that wasn't mine and kept going back. I haven't had fresh falafel in years and this brought back memories of New York. It was so delicious!While I waited, I spoke to a regular that orders from there often. He actual filled their rewards card (of nine meals purchase, receive falafels free) and had his photo place on the wall for doing so. He was right about the food and I can understand why he filled the card. He suggests to order the entree, as you would have more food to contend with (I could only eat half of mine. ??) I can't wait to return next year. I'm getting hungry thinking about itSo, stop on buy give it a try.

Love its place, the owners are great people and the food is excellent! You MUST go if you’re new to Gainesville or enjoy Israeli/Mediterranean food. I can’t recommend them more highly!

Everything was cooked perfectly! The food was so full of flavor. They serve the best tasting couscous I have ever eaten. I found this place while visiting the area; I wish it was closer to home! I highly recommend this place!

Best place in Gainesville to eat. Riley and his team knows good food. Everything is pretty much made from scratch and made with love. Get the lemonona and whatever is on the menu. I don’t think we ever had a bad meal here and more importantly its always consistent. Skip all the overprice restaurants downtown, this is the place.

the food was great. Falafel and potato salad. Fast, not expensive, large portions, indoor and outdoor seating. Cool location. I'm vegan and there was absolutely no problem.

One of my favorite places to eat in Gainesville! Great Mediterranean food. Their couscous is delicious. :)

This is one of my favorite places for a fresh gluten free meal. They have a lot of options and the food is delicious. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. I also love that they are a no tip establishment and the cost is built in to the price. I've never had a bad experience here.

So glad we found this place! Traveling from out of town it can be hard to find Vegan options all the time. The food both vegan and non vegan was absolutely delicious. Very nice staff, great flavors in the food, and the mint lemonade was spot on! Maybe they will ship me some vegan shawarma ? it was that good!!

We did some plumbing work for the owner recently and he generously hooked us up with some food. It was amazing. thank you so much and wish you much success in your business!

June 24, 2022. Ordered the falafel which was burnt. I ask them to remake it and they did & gave me 6 more burnt to a crisp falafel.... probably the first ones I gave them, don't think they made new ones! WONT BE BACK!!!!! FOR SURE!!!!
Quick and delicious! Meal comes with a great variety consisting of 2 different salads, chickpeas, hummus and pita, sauce, side of your choice and the entree! Only complaint was the salmon was a tad dry for my liking, however, the flavor was amazing so it made up. Everything paired perfectly together.

Been here many times. … had the Chicken Shawarma to go this trip. … loved the flavor as always.

My brother and I are obsessed with this restaurant. First of all, it’s so homey and inviting on the inside. I think it’s a beautiful location in the middle of Gainesville. Their food is top quality! Always, might I add! I always get the vegan shawarma because I am seriously in love with the combination of flavors. My brother is vegan, so he loves the detail and care they always put into the food. Please get their fries! You are going to love them as much as I do ?

Great vegan shawarma. Very good felafel. Only had take-out, so can't say much about the atmosphere. Was quite pleased with the takeout.

It’s like dating a supermodel. At first you’re excited with the new flavors bursting in your mouth. And then over time (after covid) you realize the standard has gone down, there’s no substance, no meat, just a hollow, thin sandwich.
