I’ve been here a few times and I love it. A good menu with lots of choices and all clearly labeled with some good vegan options. The employees are always friendly and helpful.

The food is delicious and flavors are rich. It is a great environment and the value for money was definitely there. I can't wait to go back!

It is attached to the mall but is definitely not “food court” food. It is worthy of a trip just to eat there. So happy that they were able to open a second location! It is hard to find restaurant food worthy of paying for with the rising costs of everything but this place is worth it and the employees work really hard to give everyone a positive experience.

Traditional Greek falafel was extremely salty. It is the fast food version for Greek food. Falafel and bottle water was $16.00.

The food was subpar compared to a previous visit. The service was kind and courteous though. I asked for ice, and was informed that I had to order a drink in order to get some. I hope that they can get their gyro meat fresh again!

3.5 stars, the falafel pita was good, but light on hummus and falafel.

Good food, good idea for a restaurant, but the younger generation that works there is rude, lacks manners and social skills. Wouldn't go back.

The falafel pita—aye, a true creation of balance and harmony. Wrapped in warm pita, this handheld masterpiece delivers crisp falafel kissed by the fryer and blessed by flavor. Nestled with hummus, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, pickled onions, and a swirl of tahini sauce, each bite brought clarity to the Force… and to my taste buds.
Freshness in every layer, crunch from the pickles, and creaminess from the tahini—this was no mind trick. This was real food, made by those strong in the culinary arts.
The garlic fries—a side dish worthy of its own knighthood. Drenched in creamy aioli, sprinkled with herbs and cheese, these were not fries… these were lightsabers of flavor.
Galactic Summary:
✅ Flavor alignment strong
✅ Plant-based friendly
✅ Refreshment station: like visiting the Jedi archives of beverages

My first time trying this place and I love it 🥰 I got the falafel for meat choice with signature balsamic rice, mixed greens, jalapeño beet hummus, cukes, tom, red onion, fresh parsley, chickpeas, Kalamata olives, pickles, onions, and pickled turnips and onions with tabbouleh and Tahini sauce.. 10/10 I will be back to try more!
I came around dinner time, atmosphere was amazing very pleasant and the crew on shift was very helpful, for this was my first experience..

Fast, fresh, delicious food; at prices cheaper than Subway. Their Mandarin Cardamom Fresca is a great way to beat the heat and refresh your taste buds. Get the Gyro, and your lunch will keep you full for hours. Plenty of vegetarian options too.

I cannot express how much I love this place. The first time I went I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Bowl and it was so good that I've barely tried anything else on the menu. I could eat it every day; the perfect blend of warm juicy chicken, perfectly prepared rice, and crunchy vegetables. A perfect pick me up on a cold day and always filling.
Sometimes the counter staff is a little lackluster but the food balances it out. The guy normally working the register in the evenings is great, I always look forward to seeing him.
