“Shawarma House catered our daughter's wedding reception and everyone raved about the food and thought we were geniuses for catering with a food truck! It was seamless working with Ghassan from start to finish and I am so thankful for him! Communication was easy as he was always very responsive. He made providing a delicious, hot dinner to 150 guests a breeze. He had the food all prepared and with the help of his brother-in-law he served it up quickly on demand. He exceeded expectations in both service and the quality of food. Besides being an excellent cook he is honest and kind. I highly recommend Shawarma House to anyone looking for catering.“

The wines too, with the advice of the waiter.There was also music, it was a very nice atmosphere.A very nice restaurant where we are comfortable and we eat well.To do without hesitation!(Lunch meal on March 31)“

“Dropping into Mediterranean Bakery Inc. is like finding a hidden gem where every bite is a burst of home-cooked goodness. The aroma of fresh bread, spices, and sweets is truly inviting. I'm always greeted with smiles and friendly chatter, making each visit more personal. The baklava? It's a flaky, nutty slice of heaven. And the olives are just like the ones from a bustling market in Athens. It's a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Mediterranean flavors—definitely a local favorite that keeps me coming back!“

“Mideterranean cusine, pure and simple. You step in the restaurant and the first thing that hits you is the warm smell of a home cooked meal. We ordered the appetizers platter, which is good for two people. Everything tasted like it should be. The beef shawarma, the salmon salad, and the falafel platter all tasted good.As for the atmosphere, it's clean, chic and welcoming. The prices are very reasonable, not as crazy as Lebanese Taverna or other high-end Mediterranean spots. Service was excellent and the food came out quickly.I am definitely coming back for other other specialties and the amazing dining atmosphere. 5 star rating it is.“

“I was hungry and looking for something healthy yet quick, so my buddy recommended this establishment. The food here at Souvlakibar was solid. Got the medley of the ground beef , beef (steak), island chicken and pork with the pita bread and tzatziki (with diced olives on top). The food was very flavorful and clean. Ample parking in the rear of the restaurant. Staff up front is helpful and respectful. See pics for reference.“

It was a disappointing since we were in time and made the reservation far in advance online and even called the restaurant to make sure they had our reservation. The table service and food were good.“

“Food was tasty, but my wrap was made too hasty. I don't know if my wrap was too full, but it didn't stay together. It was next to impossible to eat while holding. I used a lot of napkins. There were only two people in line behind me. I don't understand why the staff was rushing.My lunch companions claimed to see a mouse scamper across the floor near the entrance“

“This restaurant has truly excellent food at very reasonable prices. The flavors of the chicken and beef are great and both are well prepared. I find the beef a little drier than the chicken, but not enough to downgrade the rating. Additionally, the ability to customize your shawarma with about 16 different toppings - the sumac onions and pickled turnips are my personal favorites - and about 6 different sauces, including an awesome tatziki make for a great meal. As the saying goes, last, but not least, the quantity/size of the shawarma bowl is enough for two meals which makes it an even better deal!Try out this restaurant, you won't be disappointed!!“

“Lured by the promise of a 'cheap eat' gem. I dove into their Bosnian Burger for lunch, a hearty choice that came with a side of some tomato and raw onions. While the patty itself was flavorful, it was crying out for a sauce companion to counteract the dryness that the bread brought to the party. The side of yogurt was like bringing a kazoo to a guitar solo – nice, but not quite fitting. Adding the tomatoes and onion definitely helped. It’s probably how tradition goes, but my tastebuds were left dreaming of a little more moisture.On the flip side, the Doner Kebab platter I grabbed to-go was a hit back home. It was like the culinary version of a warm hug – beef kebab, rice, and a side salad that apparently was just waiting for a little home-cooked love. My spouse jazzed it up with some peas and a reheat on the rice, turning it from a simple takeout dish to a ‘more, please’ kind of meal.“
