For years I've always ordered the Mashawi salad. Why are they no longer including radishes, even though they still advertise it?

Nah this ain't it. Although the chicken was kinda tasty, I couldn't get my mind off the fact that it tastes like food coloring. The pilaf rice is overcooked, bright yellow, doesn't taste like turmeric or saffron. It's too yellow for it to be turmeric. The hummus was disgusting. It tastes like if they blended the canned chickpeas with the water itself. Not savory, the chilli they put tastes synthetic. Surprisingly it was the consistency of diarrhea. Seriously, it was watery. Surprisingly the white sauce, which I assume was Toum, was thicker than the hummus. Even that was very suspicious but it didn't lack flavor. It probably solidified at a pretty long time being refrigerated. Nothing tasted fresh, it's all either canned or synthetic. It's cheaper and easier to make things fresh. Don't half fast it. Never trying it again, even if they paid me for it.

Food: 3/5 No lamb Kabab and told lamb rack was the same, NOT! Dinner doesn't come with much and 1/2 pita bread only. Extra pita bread cost extra. No sides, no rice, everything cost extra, no hummus. One hummus is way too much to eat it with the bread. Service: 2.5/5 Only one staff working the front as cashier/wait staff/take out/etc. Not getting refill water when asked. Ambiance: 2.5/5 Small space

FOOD IS A 5, but service is a consistent 1 or 2 stars. Phone was ringing and ringing. When I got there I told the receptionist no one was answering. She looked at me and said it was only her working the front so she couldn't help customers and answer phones at the same time. Keep in mind she said this while holding her cell phone in one hand....

I'll be honest, salad is never my go-to meal, but after trying their Mashawi Salad, it was taste at first bite! Chicken, romaine lettuce, rice, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, sesame seeds, parmesean cheese, and pita chips all tossed in their house dressing is an incredible combination. You also get warm pita bread with this yummy garlic spread on the side. Put all those ingredients in the pita bread, oh man, another level! Their combo plate with rice, chicken & steak kebob, hummus, and garlic fries was needless to say, delicious! Friendly staff as well! Get yourself a plate!

Good food. Healthy eats. Love their salads! Even the smaller size is shareable! Customer service is always great.

Falafel very mediocre, especially for the price. Also tried replacing the salad that comes with falafel for rice and was told thats not possible - even though its possible for dishes with meat.

Great food but a bit overpriced. Sometimes inconsistent taste. Go only when busy because the meat sometimes tastes stale.

My friend is a regular here and brought me here for lunch yesterday, and I can see why she comes here so much! You order up front, they give you a number, and they bring it to your table. The food came out fast. I got the half order of the Chicken Kebob plate, which comes with 1 skewer. It comes with your choice of 2 sides, pita & choice of rice. I got the jasmine rice, and for the sides, I got the garden salad and the spicy hummus. The garden salad has a vinaigrette dressing on it. It was super tasty! The chicken was really tender. It came with a garlic sauce on the side. The portion was very generous. Would definitely get it again!

Food is not good. But the worst part is the people that work there. Absolutely clueless, brainless degenerates that work there. Makes me sad to see how dumb the youth is now a days. Been there 20 times and they still don't recognize me or say hi or welcome back. I always order online. I gave them my name and order but the worker still asked for the order confirmation number. Really? I've been there 20 time. Order the same thing. New the name and exact order to the order but still have to give you a "number" associated with the order? Lol. They ain't even busy ever. Have fun going outta business with the losers you employed!
Chicken kabobs cooked and seasoned to perfection. Tabbouleh is lemony, and rice pilaf is a perfect addition to the kabob plate. I asked for catering info and they don't have any idea how to bid that. That is why they are not a 5 star

The good: I got the ground beef beef kebab in a full size (2 kebabs rather than 1) with a side of yogurt cucumber and fries. I also tried the chicken shawarma with a side of baba ghanoush and cole slaw. We got a falafel as an appetizer. The interior was modern and clean. I liked how they had 3 different rice options. I got the yellow rice which was fragrant and moist without being mushy. The bad: It was $44 for two people which was more than other Mediterranean spots in the area. The falafel was hard from the fried outside and didn't taste as fresh as falafel I've had elsewhere. The garlic sauce was super dense and thick and lacked garlic flavor. The baba ghanoush was overly smokey tasting. It tasted like eating smoke alone with no other flavors. The interesting: You order at a counter but they'll bring the food to your table. We opted for dine-in but our food still came in styrofoam boxes.

The food is good. Problem is they serve all the hot food in styrofoam containers. Like what!?!? Placing hot food in these containers are just awful. And awful for the environment. Why you would use styrofoam in 2024 is beyond me. Do better. Update your containers!
