I ordered the fresh platter with chicken. They forgot the pita bread and there was barely any chicken over tons of rice.
We’ve been to Green Olive and got the same price we get 4 times more fresh grilled chicken.
Over priced and under delivered in quantity .

Food is good, been coming here since it opened. They are way overpriced now and continue to ask for a tip, even when you are in the drive thru. Ordered a party platter a couple of weeks ago and it has almost doubled in price. The food quality doesn't match the prices anymore.

I continue to be impressed by Fresh every time we place an order. The Owner, Hassan cares so deeply about the customer experience and the community. I have ordered countless catering orders as well as takeout and dine-in. Every single order has been correct, consistent, and tasty! The food is fresh and is a HUGE crowd pleaser- caring for dietary restrictions, picky eaters, and healthy eaters. It’s a win-win and we are so thankful to have this local business nearby.

Love this place. Good healthy food and really nice service. I do wish portion sizes for skewers were a little more for the price, but I'm sure there is a good reason for it.

I ordered
1. A pita sandwich (with customizations)
2. Side of sweet potato fries (4.99)
3. A Diet Coke
4. A Dubai chocolate brownie

We picked it up and thought everything was fine. I first notice that there was no Dubai chocolate brownie and that was really what we came for. We asked them if they just didn’t include it because they were sold out, but they just forgot. Another thing they forgot: the Diet Coke. As well as on the Pita sandwich, they still did not do the customizations I asked for. Lastly, the sweet potato fries were mixed with regular fries and were the smallest fries (smaller than the kids sized McDonald’s fries). I am not impressed and was not very happy with food quality as well.

Especially for $24 paid, I got one pita sandwich and still didn’t get it right.

Was a regular customer here until a week ago when I decided to look for other options. While the food is tasty, the nonchalant request for tips upfront even before we taste the food or see how they’ve served is not good and rude. Additionally, the portion size of the meats packed in drive through orders is evidently significantly lesser now. I would rather get more for the price in some other new restaurants around the area.

Ordered the chicken Shawarma the spice level and taste of the food was amazing. Kudos for that however there was very minimal protein. I.e. chicken served, and the platter just a few small pieces and a few vegetables. The harissa hummus was delicious and flavorful.

The owner is so enthusiastic, warm & welcoming & it absolutely SHOWS in the food & service. My husband and I love coming here & always feel so great & fulfilled afterwards. Their ginger lemonade, harissa sauce, and really just everything are to die for.
