Sometimes, the pizza tastes like cardboard.One night, I went in there, and my order was over $25. After I paid for my food, I asked to use the bathroom he owner had the nerve to say tell me NO! If I wasn't so hungry, I would've asked for a refund!! Horrible customer service!!!!

Picked this because it was close to our hotel. The calzone was huge and stuffed with cheese. I got the two slices and a soda for $5 special and the slices was so big I could only eat one of them. Best pizza I have had in a long time. The restaurant was super clean, service was fast and very pleasant. Will be back!

The service is GREAT. The food is excellent. Real authentic. I’m from New York and I feel close to home when I get dinner from here. If there are any issues with order, they make sure to fix it immediately. I will continue to order from here.Dietary restrictions: Veggie menuKid-friendliness: Kid chair for infants or children

The food was great. My husband wanted a lamb shawamara, and he loved it. The establishment was clean and family-friendly. Im glad to see Portsmouth is beautifying the downtown area.

Stopped in for lunch and the restaurant wasn’t busy at all. Had the Chicken Shawarma with a side of fries. The Shawarma (wrap) had all the right flavors and tasted pretty good, but I thought they were a little stingy in the amount of chicken given. The fries were fresh, hot and seasoned very well. The atmosphere was ok, definitely a “Quick bite to eat” kind of place with no thrills. It wouldn’t be my go to place for Shawarma, but I’d definitely go back if I was in area.

I ordered the combination kabob plate, a slice of pepperoni pizza, a slice of meat lovers, and an order of onion rings for delivery. First issue was that I ordered meat lovers pizza but got a slice of sausage. Second issue, it looks as if they took day-old pizza, sprinkled a little cheese on it and sent it out. Third, the pita was sent in what looks like the bag they bought it in. The kabob itself was mediocre at best. Finally, the onion rings were soggy. Although, it is quite possible that is a result of the delivery.All-in-all, I would not recommend this spot.

Went in for lunch today. Had been here before and was in area so decided to stop in with my son. As I had experienced before, good food. I had the Chicken Kabab platter and my son had the Lamb Kabab platter.Presented nicely and tasted great. Chicken was tender and good (not dry) and the hummus was excellent. Sons lamb looked great as well, he enjoyed it.I see some not so great reviews recently but I enjoyed my lunch and it was same quality and presentation as a remembered maybe 2.5 to 2 years ago (Pre-COVID).I would go back for sure and would also recommend to anyone looking for something different. Inside "decor" was a little rough but not unclean or messy.Parking: Street side parking. I had no issue getting a spot. Park on either side of road.

USED TO BE top notch food. The past few times, the pepperoni pizza had almost no meat and had BARE SPOTS with no cheese! Chicken wings were overcooked, dry, like leather... a loyal customer was lost tonight. Times are tough and my money won't go here any longer... good luck!
