Finally a local place for when the cravings for chicken over rice hits. Food was excellent and the service made you feel genuinely welcomed, 10/10. Will be coming back.

The first time I ordered here? Incredible. Even traveled well (I ordered delivery). The second time was marred by finding curly black hair in my food. Perhaps I’m sensitive but seeing someone else’s hair in your food is disgusting. The first time was so good I told several friends, who ended up ordering. I wouldn’t order from here again just based on the hair. So gross.
This place is a hidden gem. The food was so flavorful and fresh. Tried beef and chicken shawarma along with hummus and falafel. It was all so good. The garlic sauce is a highlight!

Decided to come try this place after searching for some good shawarma. Upon entering, the place is a bit small and can easily be crowded. However, I really liked their logo. I thought it was super unique and the colors stood out. I decided to get the chicken shawarma and a drink. I was a little bit disappointed in the shawarma for a couple of reasons - lack of seasoning, not enough meat, not enough garlic spread. I was sad about the results considering I've heard people say this is the best out here in richmond. Overall, not amazing but might come back to try the other options they have to offer.

They have the best burger that I’ve ever had in my life!! Staff was very friendly!
The food was absolutely delicious. The food came out fast and their service was great. I highly recommend! I got the Umami Tsunami and it was so good!

The atmosphere is great but don’t judge how the book look by it’s cover by the owners. There attractive looking but food no. The chicken platter was not the best I had chicken was dry and for the price it wasn’t worth it. The beef shawarma was also dry as well like they left the meat out over time and bread tasted store bought not even fresh. Overall, if you wanna see nice men looking to distract yourself this is the place but food no might as well get some at 7/11.
