Welcoming atmosphere walking in was greeted by a traditionally dressed gentleman that game me some tea to start! I ordered the falafel and baklava.... Finally a falafel sandwich that didn't leak all over me and was well balanced with he pickle/veggie/falafel/bread ratio. Amazing flavors the baklava was really sweet side of things but nonetheless very well made and tasted good!

The atmosphere is cozy, the seats are comfortable, and the chicken shawarma is amazing. I’ve tried many different shawarmas from various cuisines, and this one is really good. I also recommend their Arabic tea, and the Tres Leches was fabulous.

The kitchen creates satisfying meals at fair prices. They plate with care and deliver on flavor. Their workers maintained incredible standards! My dining choices here have all been excellent. I'm a regular customer because the quality stays high.
