Got the vegan shwarma with original hummus, grilled veggies, and lots of toppings. I didn’t realize there were even more sauces to try. It didn’t seem like they had the freshest ingredients, but the shwarma was tasty and made me so happy. I feel like I need to go back to try more things. Also get an extra side of Toum! Next time I want to the tabouli and more of the sauces.

This location always rushes me when ordering even when there’s barely people ordering. The only location that charged me extra $2 for sauces. Really disappointed because this was my first location when I tried the hummus and pita co for the first time and I was hooked ever since. Definitely not returning to this location again.

Having eaten shawarmas and falafels around the world for many years, I can confidently say this was one of the best shawarmas I’ve ever had. The meat had an amazing texture—perfectly juicy, well-seasoned, and with just the right crispiness. Every bite was excellent, especially when paired with the roasted eggplant, hummus, and fresh salad on the side.

However, the bread selection was disappointing. I tried all the options, but none were of good quality. The pita and laffa both felt defrosted—cold, dry, and hard to chew—which really took away from the overall experience. Given the quality of the main ingredients, I expected much better.

Another point to mention is their extensive condiment selection. While some may see it as a plus, I found it overwhelming. With at least 20 different toppings available, it felt excessive, especially for those unfamiliar with what traditionally complements shawarma. This could lead to combinations that don’t do justice to the authentic flavors of Middle Eastern and Southeastern Balkan shawarma.

Overall, excellent food with a slight letdown on the bread and an over-the-top approach to condiments. I’ll definitely be back, but because of these factors, it’s a solid 4.5 stars.

Online orders are not sufficiently prioritized here

I placed my order before the lunch rush and showed up 10 minutes after it was supposed to be ready, and they hadn't even started it.

I waited for the entire line of people to be gone before they got to my order. I may as well just placed it when I came in lol.

I get that it was a busy time of day but there was way too high a focus on customers in line.

They give you a good amount of food but the vegan shwarma is soooo salty!!!!

Very crispy falafel, and good portions for the price. Overall flavor is below some higher quality Mediterranean places, but excellent for counter service.

I had the shwarma in a pita with jalapeño humas and Jerusalem salad that was delicious and my friend had lamb over rice with pickles and habanero mango sauce.
Worth the trip in
