The best falafel sandwich in town. Owner John is the best. Definitely try the Greek fries too.

Good food but horrible experience. Our first visit was great—the food was good and we had a wonderful interaction with the lady working there. We were so satisfied that we recommended the restaurant to multiple friends and were excited to come back.
However, our second visit was a complete disappointment. We arrived for dinner around 6:30 pm, paid $6 for parking, only to find the place closed—even though Google clearly stated they were open until 8 pm. We knocked on the door, and a man came out to tell us they were closed, offering no explanation. We tried to reason that maybe there weren’t enough customers, and they decided to close early, but it left a bad impression.
To avoid the same issue, this time we called ahead tonight at 6 pm to confirm their hours. They assured us they would be open until 8 pm. Confident this time, we parked (another $6 parking) and showed up at 7:15 pm, only to find the doors shut again. There was one table of people still dining inside, so we went to the pickup window. The man working there saw us but left us waiting for a minute before opening the window to tell us they were closed for dining.
When we explained that we had called earlier and been told they were open until 8 pm, he offered no explanation and started saying random things, like asking if we had a reservation—which made no sense given the circumstances. The place was far from full (only one table occupied), it’s a casual $20-per-person gyro spot, and we were well within their stated hours.
The man was rude and treated us like fools. If they don’t want to run a business, they should just close it down or at least update their operating hours. This experience was extremely frustrating and disappointing.

Lebanese hospitality at its finest! We were welcomed by the owner Zouhair Khalil. He prepared an "old school" village breakfast which included freshly picked figs, falafel, foul mudammas and tea.
Outstanding!!!!

Lovely little place that has been around for decades! The falafel is the best in the city! The shish kabob lamb plate was the perfect size for lunch and so juicy and succulent. Make sure to ask for the hot sauce, it's a green spicy/salty herb paste and it's amazing with everything!

Really nice owner. Cute little spot. Tasty food. Had lamb gyro, shish kabob plate and falafel. All really good. Some of the best falafel I’ve had. Ask for the green hot sauce. It’s a house made minty hot sauce.

My last time here was in 2017 and haven't been able to visit since as I've been abroad, but I was so happy to go back today and find that the food and service is still as excellent as it was 7 years ago! I got the lamb wrap while my brother had the marinated chicken wrap and both were absolutely DELICIOUS - the meats were so juicy and a good portion of veggies in each. I should also mention that while it appears that most restaurants are raising their prices, both wraps were just $9 each! It's such a blessing to have, and is probably a favourite among students in the area.
The man behind the window, who I can only presume must be the owner as I remember him also being there 7 years ago, has such a lovely presence and has to be one of the friendliest people in the city! So glad to have returned, and already can't wait for my next visit. :)
