-Casual Palestinian Spot-
Halloumi wrap is so rich and delicious. Menus are crowd pleasers variety mixed ranging from burgers to falafel to wraps to hummus to vegan dishes. I will have to return to try something else. Ambience is laid back filled with folk arts, political posters and messages.

Dietary restrictions: No

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Casual, cozy place for tasty middle eastern food. Reasonable prices. Order the Lava Plate. Tasty but the meat was somewhat dry. Falafel was delicious and highly recommend! Coated in sesame seeds and served fresh.
I also really enjoyed the complimentary spiced tea!

Vegetarian options: Falafel, hummus, halloumi, salads

Lovely restaurant with such a great atmosphere. The shawarma sandwich was delicious. The service was a little slow because they seemed to be a bit understaffed, but the server was still nice.
