Fresh meat ? ?

Disappointing. Many veggies are not fresh. They will not take rotten or bad produce back. Buy at your own risk.

Didn’t think I’d be giving five stars for a simple chicken shawarma wrap but it truly was incredible. The flavor was perfection. Thank you!

I was super excited to come here because i love everything middle east. First: the store itself has tons of nice products - more than any middle eastern market in SF and i have been visiting those for years and know them inside and outside. So if you want an odd item and didnt find it in sf, try here. Store is clean and well organized. I did buy hummus and baba ganoush and lebneh to take home but Unfortunately.. the baba ganoush was fizzy and clearly expired so i threw $5 in trash. As for the " deli " itself, i was super excited they had a veggie plate with rice and roasted vegetables instead of the same falafel option every other place has. The vegies were good and well roasted, unfortunately not the onions. It took a long time for them to roast (normal). I tried to order it in advance so they would be very broiled but they never picked up the phone (though try had at least 7/8 employees and 1 customer at that time). I know it was one customer because i arrived 5 minutes later and the place was empty. The rice looked excellent but was dry and with no taste which i was dissapointed by. The salad dressing is where everything went wrong. It had a terrible sour taste to it and i was afraid to get sick but luckily did not. The sweets sold actually looked fresh (unlike sf stores) but the backlava was not the best i ever had. Overall i would shop here again but probably not eat lunch here again unless i ordered with no salad and lots of advance - but im vegetarian and im assuming the meat items are better.

We catered a meal for 100 people for a big event this past weekend, and I worked with Ashvee to make this happen. First of all, she was wonderful and super helpful. The food was ready on time, huge portions and the meal was amazing. The chicken shawarma was excellent!! We had so many people compliment the food. The falafel was delicious and the sauces (Tzatziki, Lemony Tahini Sauce and Spicy Sauce) were so good. I don't even live in PA but I am definitely making the drive down to get more of it. Thank you Ashvee and RMK - great job! Can't wait to come back.

This little gem is inside a grocery store. We ordered a chicken shawarma plate and a falafel plate. They take your order at the deli counter and you pay at the grocery checkout lane, then there is a little eating area in the front of the store. It took about ten minutes to prepare and both were delicious! The falafels were fluffy and crispy on the outside, chicken was tender and well grilled. The hummus was soooo creamy-loved it. The little side of garlicky goodness upped everything.

The market has a really great variety of different international foods. Great variety of cookies,candies, pastries, Olive oils. The food is very good, also very good options of authentic Mediterranean foods. The staff is friendly. The place is very clean and neat. You should definitely visit this place and shop around try some new things.

This restaurant is a joke. It's not really a restaurant, it's a deli counter that's turned into. Kitchen and it sits in the middle of a grocery store. Only two people work in the kitchen and it took them over an hour to make a large order for 18 people. It's absolutely ridiculous and the guy kept lying and saying it would only take a few more minutes. He knew we were coming to get the food in advanced and still wasn't equipped to make the order in a timely manner. I will never go here again, poor customer service, inconsiderate of our time, and not equipped to complete large orders. The food is rushed because there are only two staff, and the quality is trash.
