A-mazing!! Tiny little hole in the wall Mediterran lunch spot. Only six tables and the chef was on his own that day. No servers or cleanup staff that I could see. He did it all! But Best was the Food!! Tasty and Huge, we had falafel, wraps in handmade thin bread. I ordered the Vegan sandwich, which included roasted eggplant, and cauliflower, hummus, lettuce tomatoes, and french fries! It was warm with a juice or gravy of some sort. It was delicious, if messy.! I look forward to my next visit.

This place is a small cozy restaurant that serves up great Mediterranean food. The food was great and I enjoyed the variety in the El Toum appetizer. The hummus bi lahmet was something I’ve never seen or had before and I thought it was seasoned great and fulfilled my crave for hummus. The kofta wrap was great as well, it wasn’t dry and the kofta was seasoned well, it was a bit smaller than I expected. The environment was great and the host was very inviting and nice, we really felt welcomed and enjoyed the visit here. I’ll have to get the mix platter next time I come, it looks and sounds really good!

Cozi neighborhood eatery! Friendly service with great food. The bronzino came with grilled asparagus, carrots, potatoes, and yams today. Delicious perfect harmony! The strawberry lemonade was also great.Vegetarian options: My father is a vegetarian. We shared the falafel 2 dish with a side of potatato fries and fried cauliflower. The falafels came with salad, hummus, baba ganaush and sauce, and of course pita. Everything was fresh and so gòod.

Food is really good, authentic and delicious. But be wary when paying by credit card because they will pass along the 3.5% surcharge fee without telling upfront which is not legal in NYS Consumer Protection. I called the owner when I noticed the amount was higher than usual and he said it will credit me the money back. But be sure you let them know they shouldn’t charge you extra for paying by credit card.

Cozy and quaint neighborhood gem of a restaurant. The owner was warm and kind. The hummus and baba ghanoush were exceptional. Highly recommend checking this spot out.
This place is such a hidden gem that I almost didn’t want to leave a review, but it’s just too good to not say anything. The place is so cozy and warm, Sammy (the owner) is super friendly, and the food is DELICIOUS. Everything I get is always fresh and packed with flavor. From the juicy meats, to the deliciously prepared salads and perfectly cooked veggies, I always leave with a full and happy stomach.

Probably one of the most disappointing places I’ve ordered from in a long time. The shawarma platter came with very garlic-heavy chicken, dry brown rice with no sauce, and a side salad. The side salad was good, but the chicken had no flavor besides the garlic, and brown rice without any sauce is just so disappointing. You should have seen my face when I opened the box to find no color (see attached photo).

One of the best meals I've had in a long time, and the service is wonderful! They really treat you like family here. You must stop by if you're in the area. That had to be one of the best chicken shawarma wraps I have had in a long time.
