It's ok place. The sauce is interesting but the pita is very small and everything falls off. The vegetables are fresh but onion overpowers everything.

The shawarma was advertised as traditional, but honestly, what kind of traditional shawarma comes with lettuce? The lavash stuck to my teeth and felt more like a soggy crepe than proper lavash.

If I don’t focus on authenticity and just treat it as a regular wrap, it still didn’t work. There was way too much raw onion, and the garlic was overpowering, not the pleasant, light garlic note you’d expect, but as if I had eaten an entire bulb. I actually went home and brushed my teeth right after.

Maybe it’s worth trying other dishes here, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend this one.

Do not recommend.
I am married to a Jordanian and around the Arab culture very often. I’m sorry but I have never had a chicken shawarma wrap with lettuce and tomato before…. 🚩
Hummus is pretty bland, and they are stingy with Olive Oil (EVOO is an Arab staple).
I had 3-4 bites of my sandwich and sadly had to toss it, it was drowning in mediocre sauce.

I’m sorry to leave such a bad review but I’m away from home on a work trip and miss Arab food, wanted a quick bite before my flight and sadly was let down. I would have been better off at Subway.. this place has no connection to authentic middle eastern cuisine.

Great, authentic food - I highly recommend the chicken gyro. It just hits the spot in a way that’s hard to explain. Always a friendly experience. I can’t wait to keep trying more items.
