“First time trying a Shawarma. The staff was very helpful with my order. I ended up getting a Shawarma meal (wrapped). It tasted very fresh and melts in your mouth. The pickle is crunchy and very tasteful as well. For my first time, I didn't add anything to my Shawarma. I just wanted to taste the base of it. We'll definitely be back.”

6 Algebra Tea House

“Highly recommended for jihadi death cultists, gullible college students, and the Red Cross. Walls of this Hamas haven shine with anti-Semitic art and tropes calling for the delegitimization of Israel and the genocide of Jews. Complete with a fireplace, couches and comfy chairs, it’s a warm and hospitable place to relax. Especially after a hard day of protesting for Palestinian rights to murder, r-pe, kidnap, and impose worldwide Sharia law. Step inside this decked-out terror tunnel and order items that Yahya Sinwar himself would have enjoyed in hiding. Menu treats include: Palestinian tea; Palestinian cucumber salad; white pizza with Palestinian olive oil; and of course, Gaza miish, which is to die for. While the restaurant doesn’t need my advice, I respectfully suggest new signature entrees: Heil Hummus, Führer Falafel, and Zyklon Beef. From the Ohio River to the Lake Erie sea, Algebra Tea House shall set you free. Unless you’re a Jewish baby hostage. Allahu Akbar! ☝️”

Delicious food and lovely people. Definitely recommend!”

“The food is fantastic. Love the pita, grape leaves, falafel, etc., etc., etc. Always treated well, never felt disrespected, but then, unlike another commenter, I'm not a thin-skinned fry operator who has an unrealistic and umdeserved ego. Will be there in a couple of days to pick up the fixings for NYE dinner.”

“10/10 great aladdins i called last night 930pm 3/31 and i spoke to a worker who directed me to a STELLAR manager. my power was out all night & she was very knowledgeable on my allergy (celiac disease). its very difficult to find safe eats for gluten allergy with cross contamination and risks of not knowing immediately if my body will be harmed by the food. i believe the restaurant closed at 10pm & this manager was awesome in accommodating me even so late at night and working with me on the phone for allergy requests because of door dash barriers. kudos to the chef, the worker who got her manager & definitely the manager herself!!! so thankful to have a full belly in such a crazy day. the manager even said the chef had cleaned off their cutting boards so it would for sure be safe for celiac cross contamination & the chef would just re-clean them after. thanks so much team!!!! great job!!!!”
