There were, I believe, six different vegan options at this place that were clearly marked vegan or vegetarian. I got the falafel appetizer as a meal (the four count, though I wish I had gone with the six), and it was delicious! The grape leaves were also good.

My partner and I were looking for something different. The whole experience was just absolutely wonderful. Food was absolutely delicious. I had the beef/lamb shawarma entrée with basmati rice and a Lebanese salad and my boyfriend had the beef/lamb shawarma wrap. Both meals were prepared relatively quickly and were very flavorful and unique but delicious! Not only was the food great, but the owner makes the cozy restaurant even more welcoming. He personally came to greet each table and if it’s your first time he will give some great suggestions. And one point we forgot to mention no tomatoes in my boyfriend’s wrap, the owner came back to the table and mentioned that the wrap had tomatoes and asked if he wanted them or not. He actually listens to his customers and is a very funny and lighthearted guy. Good food, Absolutely amazing customer service, and not too pricey. 10/10 will be back for sure!

Falafel so good it actually brought me to tears. Wonderful atmosphere, friendly owners, and excellent prices. A true gem on Commercial Street!

Absolutely amazing, from the beet salad, chicken and beef/lamb shawarma to the cheerful greeting by the owner. Great experience, will be back.

Simply the best! If you are fortunate the owner will be there. Take his advice. Everything is good. Things you don’t like anywhere else are good here. And great for gluten free, dairy free and vegan.

Excellent food, great atmosphere, and affordable. I have been here alone, in small groups, and with a very large group. They can accommodate any situation well. For a large group, I highly suggest the large platter they offer. It has a variety of delicious food for people to try, and there is plenty of it! Also, the hummus is 10/10 and a must try item. The family that runs it is super kind, and I have really enjoyed hearing some of their stories on occasion. It's a must visit in Springfield for great food and a great atmosphere.

First time trying this restaurant. It was lunch and not very busy. We had good service and good food, but do you also judge a restaurant by the cleanliness of their bathrooms? The bathroom look like it hadnt been cleaned in years. (disgusting)
Clean restrooms can reflect the overall hygiene and attention to detail of the establishment. If a restaurant takes care of its bathrooms, does it suggests that they also prioritize food safety and cleanliness in the kitchen?... or are they so busy making good food they dont take time to clean other areas. If you need a restaurant consultant...contact me!

The BEST food I have eaten in a long time! This was our first time there, the owner took care of us and made some suggestions. We ordered the dinner for two and it was so much food! We had hummus with pita, falafel, Lebanese salad, lentil soup, lamb kabob, beef kabob, beef shawarma, and chicken shawarma. Every single thing we ate was absolutely amazing! The beef and lamb kabobs were cooked perfectly, so tender, and full of flavor. Also, the garlic sauce ?. We will be back more than once!

Really overpriced for low quality food. We ordered take out. I got the salad with gyro added which came to $15. The salad was tiny. It was smaller than a typical side salad. The vegetables in the salad tastes very old. They didn’t give any utensils or napkins. The baklava was $5 for a small square, and it was the worst baklava I’ve ever had. It was cheap and dry. Everything else we got was a small portion as well. The ingredients seemed really low quality. I really regret spending money here. The inside of the restaurant was not well taken care of at all
