Nice spot to get Shawarma!

I would normally give this place five stars. I always buy hummus and the marinated chicken from the deli counter. I have always been extremely happy with their products and services until last night. I got a hummus and the guy made me pay at the counter for the hummus. I thought that was weird but they said they were different owners? Then I got my marinated chicken from the meat counter. It looked different than usual- it typically looks like there is yogurt in the marinade, this time it just looked oily. I figured maybe it's a different recipe? Anyhow, I got home, cooked my chicken and made some rice and a salad. The chicken was ok, not as good as usual, but not bad. But, the hummus...... HUGE disappointment! We normally eat the whole tray of hummus at dinner. This hummus had almost no flavor. It was definitely missing something. It looked beautiful as always with the red pepper and paprika and stuff on top. But, no flavor. I love this store and will definitely be back. This is probably a one off, or a recipe change and I hope the manager/owner sees this and corrects whatever happened. Could just be some new ppl cooking and need to adjust?

Very rude and unfriendly. Called and placed an order, but they sold it to another customer. When we called to inquire about it, he started screaming at us. The guy says when he is out of it, he can't do anything about it. What's the point of taking the order, if you can't full fill it? The guy claims he called us multiple times but we never received a call.

What's not to like? I love coming into a store and it feeling like home. The store has what feels like millions of products to chose from. But let's cut to the chase. The food. The manaeesh/ cheese bread. I have never EVER tried bread like this. Even after it's been sitting in the kitchen for a while it's still just as soft and fresh. Try the pepperoni. Halal. Delicious. Soft. Need I say more? Everything about this is wonderful and comforting. I love the service and the falafel sandwich is also amazing. It's hard to make a good falafel sandwich but they kill it here. The egg is a better version of a quiche with cheese. They are generous with the zaatar and the cheese is stretchy. Perfectly salted nothing disappoints. I have no complaints. You can also request to add and make your orders half half. Half cheese and have whatever. I can't forget about the hotdog!!!! The bread with the dog!!!! Wow.

I was super excited to try this place out after driving past it several times. Ordered online and pickup was ready right when I got there, but there were people all over without masks or masks below their noses - some were even employees behind the food counter. Wraps were good, but the fattoush was meh and had several mealy tomatoes. I won't be back. I'll give second chances for wrong orders, bad food, terrible service, but not when it comes to no mask mandate for employees. ETA - this experience was prior to the mask mandate being lifted.

Friendly and well-stocked with all your middle eastern food needs. I found all kinds of large costco-sized spices here which I add to a lot more than they were intended for! The people who work here are very nice and will help you with anything. The pastry shop in the back has a lot of delicious, almost French style pastries. Fun fact! There are a lot of French in Lebanon, which did influence its style of sweets. They have a food counter here with a selection of Middle Eastern food you can get to-go. There is also equipment and utensils available.
