Unfortunately, every time I want to leave a good review, I finish the food before I remember to take a photo, that probably says enough 😂
The chicken shawarma is always huge, fresh, and really flavorful and the service has always been great.

Storefront restaurant with tables everything is cooked to order and it shows. I had the Falafel appetizer it was the tastiest Falafel I've had in a long time. Slightly spicy flavorful you can feel the garbanzos as you eat and see the parsely.. grape leaves which were warm and freshly made different than Greek.

Their food is incredibly consistent and always amazing. It is a family owned restaurant, it is not a fast food joint so don’t rush these artists with their art! The photos I shared are from several different visits. I usually get a Falafel Sandwich with Fries (their fries are well seasoned and crispy) I sometimes also get the Lentil Soup or an Arabic Salad. Great vegetarian options and it is all halal too! I really like their Turkish Coffee if I am dining in. I cannot recommend...
