Gyro...?, borderline terrible. Lamb was pre-something? I am used to lamb meat being shaved off a slab of meat rotating in a vertical cooker. Would not recommend for a gyro. They should take it off the menu.

Nice quiet lil Mediterranean restaurant in the university area. Have been here a few times and the food is always good. On this trip I had the falafel wrap and fries, and my wife had the mixed grill kabobs with spicy rice and a salad which I ate lol. I love falafel wraps and have recently been on a mission trying them fro various spots around Charlotte and theirs is Definitely top 3 that I've had.

This is not your rotating meat kind of place. The food was bland and flavorless.
After returning from London where we had some amazing shawarma, we were determined to find something comparable in Charlotte. Unfortunately, there isn't much that is authentic at this spot. There is no way the meat (both gyro and shawarma) was cut from a rotating grill. The sauces and flavors were bland and no amount of garlic paste and tahini was enough to flavor any sandwich we bought. They didn't list fattoush salad on the menu but when I asked they said they had it so we ordered it... Disappointing to say the least. Dolmas, baba ganoush and Hummus were mediocre. Falafel was blah. Not authentic. I wouldn't order more than a French fry here. Staff was nice.

Delicious real middle eastern food. The flavors were superb and the plates were prepared with excellence. This restaurant was better than I expected it to be and will most certainly be one that I visit again.As a side note, the owner and chef apparently served as private chef for the American ambassador in his home country of Jordan. That would explain the great food.

Even though the restaurant is little on the small side it has great food, quick service, and really reasonable prices. I really loved my kebabs and the delicious rice options. Once Ramadan is over I plan on taking several of my friends to this location for a great lunch. If you're in the mood for some Mediterranean food check out this place it's really worth it.

They have removed a lot of stuff off the menu. Unfortunately, it was the better items. I've been there many times, and the food was excellent. This time, it was just ok, very plain tasting. I ate it because I was hungry. Will be reluctant to go any time soon. Which is unfortunate. But on a good note, the cauliflower is still good.Vegetarian options: Menu clearly shows vegetarian choices
The food, customer service, and over all experience was OUTSTANDING!!!!!
