We had an amazing experience. Mosa prepared a meal to feed my 20 guest. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious. Even our guest had a wonderful experience. Thanks again for the help!
September 2025
This is by far the Best Mediterranean food Restaurant that I've had the pleasure to visit. The food is freshly made from scratch and extremely delicious. The Staff is friendly and courteous. I Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who's looking for a great experience.
August 2025
I'm disappointed at the increase price and at the decrease of the container.
A trio is $20 tax in .
That's absurd.
The side container shrunk!??
Compare the old one with the new one.
I can't wait for the new shawarma place that will open in the new plaza they're building.. because I won't be returning to Retaj.
