“To give you a sense of the kind of service and care, the waitress informed us that she does not give a check until asked so that people can stay at the table as long as they like and not feel rushed. The owner is a wonderful character. He makes you feel like family and that is part of what makes the atmosphere so pleasant. Of course it's a restaurant. So it's the food that's most important. I had the grilled fish of the day .I can't recall having a better seasoned and cooked fish. Everything was wonderful. A little quirk is that they do not have hard liquor on the menu. It's available, but don't expect any exotic drinks. We will be returning.“

“Lunch here on the way out of town was the perfect pick. The Caesar salad with chicken was incredible. Not only was there an immense amount of chicken, the salad was perfectly cut for easy bites and dressing flavor and amount mixed in was on point. I also added a side of pita and Tzatziki sauce. I was too side tracked to eat that I didn't get a photo of the massive amount of food but the decor was absolutely charming and aesthetic. The 1 star deduction was there was not A/C inside, so just a fan blowing in a single direction made for a warmer setting than anticipated. There also was not ice available for beverages, so sitting in the heat of the day, your bev reached room temp a lot faster than you'd probably enjoy. Those obstacles would not keep me from going back, maybe just a to-go order instead.“

“Don't let the location of this place fool you. I've eaten here countless times, and while picking up my salad with shawarma the other day, I realized why it's so good. The chef (also owner) was placing the chicken piece by piece on the salad rather than just throwing it on there. I ended up chatting with him and he let me know that he and his family cook at the restaurant just like they cook at home. There is true pride in ownership. If you haven't tried Shawarma on the Go, you're missing out.“

Everyone was very welcoming and the students were so proud to have the exposure on a college campus. I will definitely check out future art shows here. Thanks, Hillel!“
