Good food ruined by terrible packaging.The packaging it used to come in had separate compartments. Now they just throw a Shawarma plate into this a glorified Chinese food box and it’s just makes the food into a messy presentation. I don’t want the salad buried underneath the rice. Maybe this is petty for some, but the packaging totally ruins it for me.

Great portion size. Chicken shawarma and chicken kebab plates were tasty (ask for a side of garlic sauce). The sweets are amazing, best basboosa I've ever had! Friendly service.

The lamb was un-chewable. It was RUBBER. I would suggest skipping lamb all together. The chicken kebab roll was good. Sauces were great!

Delicious, healthy portions, friendly staff, easy access. My mouth waters at the thought of this establishments food. Tried it first time a couple months ago, have eaten there three times, and going back after I type this, as they close at 0300!!! Parking on Main Street, as Broadway has a bus stop and bus lane.

I ordered lamb Shawarma plate, it was a terrible. The meat, the rice and even the salad were all terrible. I think they spill half a glass of oil into the salad. Rice was mushy. Tried it and couldn't have the second bite. Order from this place if you want to waste your money.

Went there to get a shawarma roll up, walked out with many more items as they have a lot of different choices, my shawarma roll up was delicious! I of course asked for extra tahini sauce. I tried the black bean hummus which I didn’t even know existed but was soooo good (if you can’t handle spicy don’t get it). I also got the rice pudding and it was the PERFECT choice for dessert just the perfect amount of sweet. This is an authentic mediterranean spot, will be definitely be coming back often!

As an Arab American who often goes back home to the Middle East, I can guarantee that this place is the real deal. Everything about it is authentic. The food is delicious and tastes like home but has its own unique flavor. Whatever you get, make sure you get it spicy because their spicy tahini is what makes the sandwich/plate (still delicious not spicy as well). The owner is friendly and hilarious and is usually playing great music to keep you entertained while you wait. The place just feels like the kind of shop I would go to back home. If you don’t feel like waiting at the store for take out, their delivery is very quick and I’ve never had a problem with that either. Do yourself a favor and TRY THIS PLACE OUT!!

Do not go here if you have any food allergies, I explained I was gluten free and they blankly starred at me, because i was just ordering chicken rice and cucumber salad i thought it would be okay but clearly the chicken is frozen which often times uses gluten ingredients. I have been sick all afternoon due to their ignorance.Dietary restrictions: Do not come here if you have dietary restrictions
