Ordered on their website for pick up on a Thursday at around 8. They charge a $1.75 convenience fee for ordering online. When we went to go pick up the food half an hour later (the quoted pick-up time was 20-30 minutes), they hadn't made our food yet. Not sure if they were trying to make it fresh, or if they were just behind. But this defeated the purpose of ordering ahead of time, so I'm not sure what the “convenience” fee was for.I ordered the lamb shawarma sandwich and hubby had the beef shawarma platter. Both meats were pretty dry. The portions are pretty big though. It's just unfortunate that is wasn't great. I did add a side of fries for an extra $2, and that was pretty good since they were seasoned.Been looking for a good shawarma spot in the area, but this wasn't it.

Hands down this is the best falafel I have ever had. So fresh, so tasty, and is truly made with love. The interior of this restaurant is very unique and homey. I also had the kufta sandwich that has since become my new favourite. The service is always top notch and the plate presentation is always very impressive.

Discovered this place recently as it's very close to where I work and I only eat zabiha halal food. I've introduced them to all my coworkers and everyone LOVES their food. Portions are generous (I rarely finish), and the garlic sauce is amazing. The kibbeh makes me feel like my friends mom invited me over for dinner. All in all, amazing place. Service is excellent, and I'm all about supporting small businesses. The shop itself is cute and doesn't have much seating but it is nice and clean. Will continue to recommend to my friends and will continue to order from here whenever I'm on call :)

Everything was phenomenal!I believe it’s family owned, so everything is very well made and not commercialized, very fresh and taken care of every detail.Try their Shawarma& Shawafel.. not only tastes better than any Mediterranean place I’ve eaten in in NJ, it tastes better and more authentic than the ones back home!! Better than my what my grandma would do! Oh and try their garlic dip ?❤️?Would give 10 stars if I could!!!!
mid fries but the food itself was excellent for good pricing. pls don't raise the prices ? fries were fr my only critique
