My family stopped by on a Sunday evening for dinner when the store did not look busy. The food was excellent and everyone liked what they got. Unfortunately, it took forever to get our food (four takeout combo plates). We ordered at 6:20 or 6:25, and it wasn't ready until after 7pm, which seems excessive for street food. Meanwhile a group that arrived and ordered after us got served first. The small dining room was also about 90 degrees and sweltering hot, so we mostly waited around on the sidewalk out front. We were about to give up and ask for a refund, then finally the food order got ready.Vegetarian options: Falafel
Literally my favorite place this side of the river, by far. While I have enjoyed the entire menu, the mint lemonade and falafel are something special.I apologize for not having photos, but I literally demolish this stuff the moment it served. I never have a chance to take a picture.Kid-friendliness: There is a gelato place a couple doors down, so this can be a good or bad thing depending how your kids are that day.

We ordered the beef shawarma sandwich (it's more of a wrap/burrito-but that's actually what we were hoping for), the chicken shawarma rice bowl, and the falafel. The falafel was perfect. We loved our shawarma, and my rice bowl was big enough for 3 meals. I'm eating the last of the leftovers and it's maybe even better than the initial meal since the flavors have all hung out together a bit longer? We'll be back and excited to try all of the things!!
Store front shop with excellent quality food - had the Falafel wrap and it was super fresh & delicious- fries made in house and well seasoned

Delicious Mediterranean food. So good. So glad we have this in our area. The Beef Shawarma sandwich, West Bank salad, Baba ghanoush, hummus…… all 10/10. Will definitely be back.
Excellent food, polite service. The naan is made fresh and the hummus is SO GOOD. It’s made in house and tastes way better than store bought.

This place is great, best Shawarma I've had! Also I thought I didn't like humus. Turns out, I just didn't like store bought humus. Huge portions too, you'll be bringing home leftovers for sure. Most excellent.
