Best sharwarma in the US, and nicest couple I've seen. The owner couple have a great heart and a lot of interesting stories. I'm Chinese, and I'm permanently leaving the US soon, just wanna say this place gave me a lot of good memories and the owner couple inspired me a lot! Sincere wish for Gaza and Ukraine situation to get better soon!

This place is so good and the service is always excellent.My favorite dish is the Super Vegetarian Combo a little bit of everything! In my opinion they make the BEST falafel in town!Try their lamb and beef shawarma — you won’t be disappointed!!

So far, I have only ordered takeout from this place twice. The first time, it was so good that I forgot to take pics. The second time, I forgot to take pic of the falafel sandwich again but did for the lamb and beef shawarma plate. You can see that they do fill up the meat plate too.

Food is great, the taste of the lamb & beef shawarma was good and the portion was big. The falafel here are actually authentic and well made. A little bit pricier, but they got to cover the costs. The place is popular, with a lot of people ordering take-out or delivery drivers picking up food.The guy behind the counter is friendly, hard working, and kind. He made the shawarma perfectly and efficiently. Worth stopping by if you're in Somerville.

the falafel platter was $17.63 in Feb '24, so don't trust the old menu photos!! the falafel & hummus were great. tons of rice, half a pita, pickled veggies & some forgettable salad. not bad, kinda expensive, a lot of food

The grape leaves here are so perfect. Light, crisp, and tangy, not oily or soggy or falling apart.

Stopped in after a show at the armory. The food was great. I loved their cucumber yogurt dish, the falafel came topped with mint and a pickled vegetable that was great. This was already a regular stop of my friend when he is in town and I will have to add it to mine. Staff was very friendly.
