Lentil soup is a must to order. Extensive menu to choose from. Have good vegetarian options too.
Salads are best options too.

I've been here plenty of times, and this was the 1st time they plated the appetizers on a small dish next to each other. This poses a problem for me because I'm vegan and my friend is not, but having dairy mingling with the vegan dish was annoying. The service is not usually great in the beginning until the host warms up to you.

Vegetarian options: Items can be made vegan. Some vegan friendly sides.

Dietary restrictions: Accommodate veg diet

Food was good quality, but a very important notice to anyone gluten intolerant, the rice contains WHEAT (mixed with pasta as a pilaf). The menu should clearly state this.

Keeping It Covered

Had the messa appetizer it was ok. Pickles and olives were great. Falafel was good. The great belief really had no flavor period
Had the sharma combination lamb, chicken and beef meat was overcooked. Rice had minimal flavor.

Today I ordered a steak in a sack, Lentil soup and shawarma sandwich . The sandwiches were dry and the soup was watery.I am very disappointed in the service I received today. If you want high quality food this is not the place.

Horrible service, good food, get the falafel. Never in my life have I ever been so rushed during a meal out. The server literally rushed over 10 mins after we got our food, WHILE MY FOOD WAS IN MY HANDS, asked us how many boxes we needed and said I’m bringing the check right now, then continued to try to take our plates away while we packed them, and tried to take my receipt back before I signed it. What a shame, because the food was good, i will not be back

Nice selection of food. Comes out hot, not too pricey.
Nice services, very attentive before crowd.
Nice placement of tables. Spaced out far enough from others.

Honestly one of the worse places we've been to in a long time. We got the Kebbeh and it was still frozen in the middle. We also got the combo shawarma plate to share and it was disgusting. The veggies were frozen from a bag with a ton of butter. The rice was also from a bag. It was some weird rice that literally just tasted like butter. The steak or whatever it was, was chewy and had no flavor. The chicken again was covered in butter and had no flavor. Service was just not there. Didn't feel welcoming or that they even wanted customers there. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. We truly only ended up eating what was there because it was pricey for what it was and we were starving.

Amazing Mediterranean food restaurant hidden in this area, they are such a gem! They have so many delicious foods, I love everything especially their lamb and chicken shawarma. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu! Loved it!

Food here is absolutely delicious and very authentic. The falafel are fried to perfection. The hummus is delicious. Their pita are served warm, as they should be, and just makes the experience so much better. They're tabboule is also delicious. We tried several meets including shish kabob and taouk, and their chicken shawerma. All delicious!
