The food and service are always top notch. Sad that this was likely my last time before they close. I wish them well and appreciate all the meals I was able to have at this sweet little deli.

Amazing Baba Ganoush, Hummus and Tabouli. Grape leaves are fabulous as are falafel. A treat for vegans and non-vegans alike -- plenty of meat dishes as well. After you've had their baba and hummus, the supermarket stuff just won't taste right -- because it's not! Thank you Al-Tarboush.

the food was cold which I didn't like but it was tasty, also the staff didn't seem so professional but they are nice in general

Nice hidden gem in the loop. Food is excellent!

Honestly it’s “just like it is.” Authentic and delicious. My friend and I were visiting STL and stopped here for lunch. If I lived locally I would visit this place weekly. We ordered four different items. Everything we had was on point, and the sweetest old gentlemen served us. Would highly recommend.

Everything tasted like it was made yesterday. The pita was stale, even the falafel balls were stale. The only thing they did well were the French fries- very tasty.Overall really disappointed. It’s like they threw in all the leftovers for me since I ordered delivery.

I've have lived in u city for quite some time and walked past this place so many times without going in. Glad I changed my mind today and decided to go in. This place is super neat and the owner is so friendly and helpful. I was with a friend and she comes here all the time and she was raving about their baklava. I'm glad I did and regret not buying more of these tasty treats. They were fresh and amazing to taste. They also have other food that I didn't get a chance to try but will be back to try it. My friend comes here to get things for her hookah. The thing I love most about the inside is how authentic the place seems and you can tell they stay true to their roots.

I realize this place gets good ratings, but explain to me why my shawarma was the worst. I lived in NY where they load up sandwiches and before COVID this place was a go-to. But not only was it not worth the price, but it was so frail I had to eat it like a salad. Could they use the photo attached to sell a $9 dollar sandwich?

Small shop off the loop you might miss but very worth checking out. The chicken shawarma is super delicious and my girlfriend loved the falafel.
Super flavorful food! I got a spinach and cheese pie and a zaatar pie as well as one falafel . My boyfriend got the chicken shawarma. I was worried the falafel would be dry but it was perfect. The pies were both equally tasty. Will definitely be back to get a falafel sandwich soon!

I just knew when I walked in here that the food was going to be ???. Authentic place that appears to be true to their native roots. My chicken gyro was so good, better than any others I've had in the area. I will be back to try other items on the menu.

Went here Today wow I was definitely not impressed cause I felt the prices were lets just say high for Hummus and Dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) ? like $20 but let me tell you babay when I say these were FRESH FRESH FRESH NEVER BEEN IN A CAN Dolmas, I was so impressed the ingredients were beyond fresh...it brought a tear to my eye they were so good! I cant remember the last time I had actual fresh dolmas in fact I wanna say like 25 years ago...i paid $8 for six little ones but the owner hand rolling them fresh so worth it ...they get all the stars for this

The BEST falafel EVER! I could eat it every day, all day! It's a must try if you live in or around the STL area. If you have extra to take home, it's great the next day, as well!

Great fresh scratch made pita, hummus and other Mediterranean comfort foods.
