The food here is absolutely AMAZING. So delicious and flavorful, honestly the lamb and beef sandwich is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, and don’t sleep on the baklava! The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and it smells so amazing inside that you’ll never want to leave. Nazmi is the absolute best, he makes you feel right at home and I’m grateful this place is here every time I go!

I wish I remembered to take a picture of our food before we dived in! Their chicken schwarma is literally the best I've ever eaten. Also love their chicken kabob, kibbeh, and warm bread. They make everything in house (except for their fries) and everything tastes so fresh. We literally drive over 45 minutes to eat here and leave happy every single time

The food was really good! I was pleasantly surprised because i thought it was just another hole in the wall.. I was wrong. Don’t judge a book by its cover. By the way , the owners are super nice.. thanks for a great meal!!
