I’ve come here for years. The food has always been good. BUT TODAY! Was an experience at that restaurant I’ll never forget Completely and utterly disgusting, unprofessional, and rude! Fiona of the store should not be working in customer service!! He is the man that’s a cartoon character in the picture I posted.

Myself and another customer placed our order today He ended up mixing up our orders, giving us each, each others sides. Instead of fixing our orders properly, I looked at the customer next to me, then looked back down at my plate. He proceeded to raise his voice and swear at me and ask why I was giving a look to the food. Well, probably because my order was wrong and I was confused on who’s plate it was…

The lovely Elderly lady that works at the cash, proceeded to tell him to stop as he was not only yelling at me but cursing all because I had “a look” to my face apparently when I looked at my food. God forbid if I looked at my food and it was the wrong order.

Making feel like I was put in fight and flight mode Being yelled at in a store front of people after all I’m a woman and don’t take well to grown men, hollering and cursing at me for no real reason While I’m standing there in my scrub uniform, just trying to get some lunch on my work break !!

I stood my ground and told him with everyone In that restaurant you do not speak or treat customers like this. I am a paying customer if I was to give him attitude, I would have expected it back but that was not the case you messed my order up and then give me grief because I don’t want someone else’s side dish with my food!!!

Mind you I never even complained, or said a word to him about my order being messed up I didn’t have time. I simply looked at the plate, looked at the person next to me and back at the plate and He just went off because I looked at my plate, “funny” in his eyes.

I can only imagine how he talks to his wife Or his daughtersat home if he talks to customers like this It was completely disgusting ignorant, and he should feel embarrassed, I would love to see the camera footage !!!!

I would not recommend his restaurant, no matter how good the food may be you don’t treat customers like this, especially customers who have been coming to you for years Mind you I’ve never had a problem with him or anything along those lines until today!!!

Zero out of 10 recommend!!!!

They are so friendly and offer complimentary soup while you wait for your order. The shwarmas are huge and filling. The plates are big enough to share. They only take cash . Love Tareks

Terry and I just had the most amazing anniversary lunch at Tarek's. We had the dinner for two. Words cannot even come close to how delicious this meal was. It was great seeing Tarek and his wife. Everyone needs to eat here! THANK YOU Terek

Went in at random and was given some of the best soup of my life. What an amazing spot.

The food is awesome, fresh and with homy taste. They gave me free lentil soup while waiting for my pita. It is cash only!

Tarek is a genuine, kind, and welcoming man, as are his staff.. The food is delicious, high quality, and well priced. If you haven't eaten here then you're missing out.
