“This place is amazing. The food is delicious. We usually get a plate, which is 2 or 3 meals worth of food. The koftas, chicken, and lamb gyro meat is all perfect. The rice is so flavorful. Staff is always very nice. Service is accurate and fast. We have visited many times before and will continue to go!“

“I honestly could not believe how delicious and fresh the food was and how sweet the customer service was. The gentleman who served us just had a beautiful energy to him and my god the food was incredible. We tried the Lamauchun, the Kibbeh, the adana kabob, the stuffed dumpling dish, the fries, rice and pilaf, and the beef doner wrap. My goodness. It was my wife and I and our three children. Everyone loved their food and we just are so glad we found this place. New favorite place. Gosh. Incredible“

“I ordered online late at night and when I arrived, they’d had to close early, but told me to come back the next day and they would honor my order. I’m so glad I did! They provided me with the falafel wrap and mango smoothie I ordered (both fresh and delicious) and also gave me an order of hummus for the inconvenience I experienced. Excellent customer service, good food, clean and quiet restaurant. Thank you!“

“Great hospitality! Great smells! Great tea!“

“If you crave a different kind of food experience, a Mediterranean and Middle Eastern buffet with big flavors and a large variety of dishes to choose from. You won’t leave the place hungry. We like the babaganoush, hummus, tabule, lentil soup, the pita and breads, the various ways they make ribs, kofta kebab, and the great desserts, like kunafa and baklava. Once in a while, some of the food weren’t hot enough. All you have to do is just wait until they bring out more food from the kitchen. Be sure to ask for mint tea, it is our favorite drink. The place is usually packed with folks from the Middle East and Africa during lunch. Between lunch and dinner, you will not have trouble finding a table.“

“No disrespect to the old establishment, but the new ownership hit it out of the park. The chicken shawerma is bangin. Good portions, good price. Not a fan of ordering on a tablet, and I’d recommend a menu on the wall for easier reading but I’ve already eaten here multiple times. Check it out!“

“I've never liked coffee before, though I'm open to trying new things. There's was the first coffee I ever liked.“

“Ordered takeout from Oasis for the first time last week. The hummus, baba ghanoush, and grape leaves were all excellent. I loved the smokiness of the baba ghanoush - so much flavor. The falafel was really good too. The roasted veggies and salad were fine, but not memorable.“

“So Good!! No menu unless you look online or ask them for help! The food was amazing! Definite a 10 out of 10. I had a wrap.“

“Person running takeout orders was super nice. Food was well prepared BUT, they could season there hamburger meat. That's why 4 stars. Light seasoning would have been good but on multiple occasions hamburgers were not seasoned. Waiting for food outside in parking lot was chill even at 4a.m. Food tasted delicious but would have been better WITH seasoned hamburgers.“

“This is a good remake of an old fast-food place-clean and bright and welcoming.
Food was quite good. We sat for 3 hours (there were open tables!).

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options were on appetizer menu so we ate off the app menu.“
