Always a great meal here. The owner is very friendly. *Update* This place is still putting out excellent food. 6 years strong now!

Surprisingly delicious! I’ve only been to a handful of Mediterranean restaurants but this is my favorite. The meal was simple but the flavor was excellent. I wish I had a place like this back home.

You'd be hard-pressed to find better fresh hummus anywhere in the city. It's the best I've ever had. Shawarma is fantastic. The staff is always very kind. The restaurant is always clean and has a homey atmosphere. Like visiting family.

Traditional test of grilled chicken and amazing hospitality and service, one of the best charcoal chicken shawarma nationwide.

34-year Navy career; in and out of the Middleast throughout. Best Mideast/Mediterranean cuisine I've had outside of the best restaurants in the Arab world, and without a doubt the best in the US! Food expertly prepared and perfectly seasoned. Absolutely the best hummus ever. Generous portions and very reasonably priced. Menu a bit limited, but what they serve is amazing This restaurant is a sure thing!

I got the half chicken with a side of hummus and bread. This is probably one of the tastiest and juiciest charcoal grilled chicken across many restaurants I’ve been to in the US. It was incredibly delicious. The skin is crispy while the inside is still soft and juicy. 10/10 would recommend.

Very good chicken shawarma! Chicken was so flavorful and the fries have a unique seasoning that make them delicious! Wish I lived here to get it more often but this is probably one of the best chicken shawarma I have had outside of the middle east. If they had a little more seating inside it would be great but it was a nice day so I sat outside.
