I can tell you that the meats are very flavorful. I had the combo kabob platter and the tastes were spot on. I think overall the portion could be slightly better at least for the amount of meat. The spices and seasonings are spot on and the meat is tender. I recommend people try this place at least once! I’ll likely return next time I’m in the area to explore more of the menu.

I come here often, specifically for their falafel sandwich with garlic sauce and lentil soup. Definitely recommend getting garlic sauce if you buy falafels!! Nice place, good food, and good service

Vegetarian options: Definitely recommend the falafel sandwich for vegetarians!

Have eaten here several times, but just pitas. Pitas were ok in the past. Today I ordered one lamb and one beef kabob for $15. I was a little shocked at how little meat there was ( I ate two pieces before this image, but all could fit in the palm of my hand - for $15). The meat was tough and dry. I ordered falafel and it was all burnt. I won't be returning.
