Absolutely delicious! I wish I could make my kofta kebab over rice leftovers last more than two meals, but it really is too good to not eat it all immediately. The restaurant is small, with extremely limited seating and no A/C, and the prices are a bit higher than a cart (understandably, a store front costs more to rent), but you get a ton of tabbouleh/hummus/baba ganoush/salad/etc. Very highly recommend!!!

Tasty fresh falafel in a run-down hole-in-the-wall establishment. Highly recommend it! Friendly service and inexpensive prices.

OK, I've eaten falafel all over the world, including in the Middle East. This may be the best falafel I've ever had. I don't know what the secret sauce is - extra garlic? lemon juice? herbs? But it just pops, with umami flavor and a teeny crunch in an otherwise pillowy garbanzo ball. There's about 80 menu options, but I'd stick with the basics.

This hole in the wall halal spot never disappoints me, we have been going here for almost 10 yrs and once in a while we order our fave shawarma, and the taste and flavor is still the same. Although the falafel im not really happy with it. There is an after taste that i dont like. Could be too much t
cilantro and parsley or too much baking soda. But all in all the chicken shawarma is delicious.
Ofcourse due to inflation its now $16.99 per plate, i remember the first time i had it was $9

I love little hole in the wall kinda places that blow you away with the food! I literally just happened upon this place by chance and I am SO glad I stopped! I just finished eating my gyro meat salad with hummus and had to leave a review. Easily best little Mediterranean spot I've been to in a really long time. This is officially on my rotation. The guy (not sure if he was the owner or not) was very kind and helpful too. :)
