The food is delicious! I love it.
Thank you for this amazing food. The food is fresh and I highly recommend this place.
I also tried their buffet and it is so good.
March 2025
It was a wonderful day to enjoy a nice meal outside so we opted to sit on on their little patio. The owner was very kind and generous greeted us and was happy to take our orders. We ordered hummus and the chicken Shawarma platter. The food came up really quick, and we really enjoyed the hummus. Then we had the chicken Shawarma, and that was very flavorful and made fresh for sure. Overall, I felt that the food was stellar and very flavorful, and all of it was definitely made fresh....

This little restaurant was very authentic. The aesthetic is very welcoming and food is well worth the wait. It’s a single man who does all the cooking and everything came out delicious. You get a large portion of rice and the chicken very flavorful. Will be coming again!
