I used to frequent this place....I was waiting to order and the male comes out and is giving the female grief because she put too much Tabulee on the customers plate ...The male then scrapes the excess of both plates...I say to the female he must not of liked how you did it? (jokingly) The male got sooo mad said are you here to criticize me or eat.....I said neither now and walked out the door

Excellent service, delicious food. I got a falafel wrap the signature way that was suggested by our server and I loved it. Will definitely be going back 👏

We stopped in on a whim on our road trip with no knowledge of the area. What a wonderful surprise! Very friendly owners/operators - taking time to explain the menu and even tips on the best way to mix and enjoy the platter. Food was so flavorful and everything cooked perfectly. My wife absolutely loved the hummus. Only regret is we live hundreds of miles away…

I really enjoy their food but I always felt they needed an extra side. The tabouli is just ok (I pick out the tomatoes and toss the rest) and I’m not crazy about chickpeas. So I asked about what looks like a marinated tomato and onion salad. I was told that everyone wants it but you can only get it as garnish on the wrap. If everyone is looking for a marinated tomato salad type dish, then make one!

Great quality food!!

My partner and I had a delightful lunch: fattoush with falafel and falafel wrap “Markook style.” Everything was SO good. The house made pita bread was lovely. After chatting with the couple who own and run the place, I decided to have a piece of baklava. It was perfect. Thank you so much!

I've hesitated to write this review because I know the owner's response will only upset me further. My husband and I have sung the praises of this restaurant to our friends for years. We love their food and have always looked forward to going back. Throughout this time, we've read the one-star reviews and the owner's responses and have been alarmed, but we also just gave the owner the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes customers suck. But after our most recent experience, it's clear that these reviews are pretty spot on. When we visited last, we weren't aware that the dining room was closed until we walked in the door. And actually, we were there at 4:35 p.m. on a Friday, which, according to their website, means the dining room was technically still open. Anyways, we were immediately asked if we were aware that the dining room was closed and if that was okay. We had been planning to eat in, but because of how much we've loved this food over the years, I said that was totally fine and that we'd take it to go. Truly, this didn't bother me that much. But after we ordered, there was such a weird vibe. I had a cup of water placed on the ledge a table away from where the owner had his computer. I was standing there motionless, patiently waiting for our food when the owner harshly asked me to move the cup because his computer was nearby. I obliged. But then I felt like I had nowhere to go. Was I allowed to sit at a table and wait for my food? It really didn't seem like it. Everything was cleaned up for the day and I felt so out of place, like I wasn't fully welcome in the restaurant. According to the website, their dining room is closed between 2 and 4 p.m. and then again from 4:45 p.m. until close. Closing the dining room twice is not typical for most establishments (I'm aware of others that close their dining rooms an hour or less before close, only closing it once/day) and I think this is just confusing for customers. If you want to eat in the dining room during the 4-4:45 p.m. window, it seems like they'd want you there right at 4 p.m.

This place has the potential to be phenomenal (good food, clean dining area), but when the owners make you feel like one wrong move can land you in the dog house, it's off-putting and makes us not want to go back. I wish this place the best, but I fear that they're going to continue to upset customers and scare them away. I've been as kind as I can be here, but good food and a clean dining area don't make up for a tense, unwelcoming atmosphere.

One of our favorite places to eat. The food is always excellent, the restaurant is always clean and the owners are so friendly. I recommend this place to everyone. I always get the bbq steak shawarma wrap and have to fight the urge to not buy up all of the baklava at every visit.
