The entrees were flavorful and portions were generous. Baba ganoush was slightly oversalted. It was OK, but missing the roasted charcoal flavor that takes the dish to the next level. Kitchen seemed a little slow during our visit. I'd come back for a sandwich if I was in the neighborhood again.

Meat was so overcooked and dry. Charcoal on the edges, very unappealing both the gyro and schwarma $28 for 2 sandwiches, no fries or drinks. Very over priced. I got it to go, but if I had seen the food first I would have refused it or sent it back. Don’t recommend and definitely won’t be back. Felt like a waste of money.

A bit underwhelming. Service was unbeliveably slow. Took them 20 minutes just to take our order and mine in particular took another 30 to arrive. They also brought out the food at different times so my friends had already finished eating and there I was scarfing down my meal at the end.Dinner portions were quite substantial, but dessert portions were miniscule. Everything tasted good though. They even had Egyptian street food like kushari and za'atar fries. The menu was a little confusing. Seemed to have both north Indian and middle eastern dishes (although no fusion items).There is a reservation option on Google maps but you really don't need one. Deserted when we went. Ambiance wasn't the greatest.

The first impression of walking in was subpar. The floors and bathroom was dirty, which makes me concerned. If a bathroom was dirty, how dirty is the kitchen. The service was very poor. After being sat, which was an awkward experience because the two servers were talking about non work related items before acknowledging us, we sat for 5 minutes before getting offered anything to drink, even water. The server stood at the front desk doing non-work related items such as on their phone. The water glasses that were given were dirty and had an odd taste of water. Server never came back to refill water glasses. My girlfriend's very simple tea took 10 minutes to come out and was overpriced. The meal was even more disappointing. The beef shawarma plate w/salad was sad. The salad was simple iceberg lettuce with wishbone Italian dressing. There was very little beef and the rice was not fresh. My girlfriend's wrap did not come fries, which it stated it was supposed to. The server told the people behind us to leave a Google review and stood there while doing this.Overall, I am surprised this place is still open or hasn't had any health violations. Poor service and poor food. The service and food was so poor we walked up and said we wanted to pay. The server had finally asked how was the meal and I said "it was just okay." She took offense from this and didn't apologize or say anything. I honestly will never come back and will not recommend to anyone.Also paid $40 for 2 people... crazy expensive...

Hands down the best shawarmas in the twin cities! The staff is very efficient and friendly as well!
Small and a cozy place but furniture looks old with cranking booths,Food is good with variety of cold and hot appetizer options we ordered samosa with tea and Dahi Vada, which are a must try. We ordered chicken fries which could use some seasoning but it’s might be a personal preferenceStaff and service are excellent, the girl that served us was very patient through out the dinner

this place is close to being great. the food is good. unfortunately the table service is unsatisfactory. there is a solution though! all they have to do is copy numerous other successful restaurants' dining-in formats. the naughty greek (spicy feta) for instance... at that restaurant you order at the counter and take a number to your table. the food is then brought to the number. easy. they also have a self serve drink station and cutlery at the tables. if ZZ would copy this format my family would be regulars. but, in its current state, we can not go back. the service is slow unorganized and unprofessional. i hope the management reads this and considers my idea. this is a low cost solution that could be implemented practically over night! the other option is to hire professionals or properly train the staff.
