First time visit today (12apr2024), out of state visitors for the day (IL), happen to be in the area.
Ordered togo:
Chicken Shawarma plate
Beef Kafka plate
Chicken Shawarma Sandwich
Humus with Chicken Shawarma
4 extra peta and 2 garlic sauce
While waiting, the place had a nice feel, music, etc.
After a small amount of time we were offered Coffee. To those that dont know with these style of coffee it can be bitter to the normal pallet. This is a mix of coffee and tea I believe was told at this location.
My SO, which was their first time trying this, is not a fan. Having tried some out of state (MI) before, it was little better than I have have in the past. VERY Hot in temp, so you will want to let cool some.
The ChkShawm sandwich was good, SO didnt like as much but I enjoyed it.
We both enjoyed the rest of the order, so much that my SO over eat some and was hurting. It was tempting to do the same.
The Chicken was very good and juicy, not dried out like once place we tried few months ago. Rice was very good, the one plate's rice might have needed just a bit more cook time as a very small amount was still a bit al dente.
Glad we ordered the extra garlic sauce as it didnt come with any of the other plates. I didnt look or ask if that was normal, some places do, others dont and we end up emptying out any garlic sauce we get anyways from places like these.We always order extra garlic and petas.
We dont get over to this area much and next chance may be in 6 month or a year from now but will have this marked s a fav to revisit when in the area again!
Totally plan to order from here again without a doubt!

We LOVE trying different foods of the world. This did not disappoint. Delighted with every flavor that pops in every dish we tried. BE SURE to leave room for dessert! Every one of them, we had three, so good! Cinnamon Baklava… goodness!! My husband’s new favorite of ALL THINGS SWEET! That’s really saying something… trust me. We will be back and spread the word of greatness!

My husband and I thoroghly enjoyed our dinner! We each ordered the lamb shish kebab on pita sandwiches plus an order of tabboughli. I also ordered a take home of baklava, which are available in pistachio or a mix of pistachio and walnut. All items were wonderful and I am sure we will go again.
Good stuff! We will be back for sure. Food was so flavorful. Very friendly service.

Truly a hidden gem. Baba ganoush, turkish salad and shirmp were excellent. Service was also great, kind and courteous. Seems like a great family run business. The Jafra special meal was a great value and easily fed all 4 of us with leftovers.

Amazing food! Service was fantastic! We will be returning many times.
Different from Mediterranean food I have had before! The plating of everything was very nice. I got a spinach pie which was okay. I had never had one from Mediterranean cuisine before so I had no expectations. It was decent- somewhat bitter. The lamb shawarma was delicious. I really liked all the flavors on the plate. Normally I hate cucumbers but I ate them for the first time in a decade for this dish! Flavors went well together. My bro got a falafel appetizer- didn't try it but looks great! Pricey but not much more than you'd pay elsewhere and the portions are ginormous.
