Have had food from here a couple of times. Mostly takeout and it had been good but, the last time I ordered online, their device turned itself off and my order wasn't ready when I went to pick it up. The platter was missing yalanjee and the pita bread they gave was like something that came out of a superstore. Highly disappointing as I could've gone to Walmart if I wanted packaged pita. For $1.5 per piece, I was expecting pita that was freshly made. Overall not a satisfactory experience and not sure if I'll be ordering here again.

Food was horrible the falafel sandwich was dry and the bread was not SAJ like described it was actually a tortilla bread…the pickles looked so saggy and old you can’t actually hold them lol. The washrooms were disgustingly! I’ve never felt so disgusted and disappointed in my life. The washrooms were a mess and the garbage was everywhere it was so dirty like there is no one in the entire restaurant the least they can do is clean ! There are flies in the washroom and restaurant which indicates the level of dirtiness . I payed 14 dollars for a falafel wrap that was cold not fresh and the bread is not edible ! The kitchen is not organized and you can tell no one cares about anything the place looks abandoned! There is no life in this place or love for food. It’s so over priced for a sandwich without fries or anything on the side. Would not recommend and you’ll never see me there again

Very tasty food. The Arabic plate is amazing with tons of chicken shawarma and the wrap is bigger than everywhere else. They give tons of garlic sauce which I love.Their shish kebab is pretty bad. Only 4 small pieces of meat, not worth it. Their shawarma pizza had quite a salty bread.

While we were a lil iffy about being in an empty restaurant on a Friday evening, we’re incredibly happy that we stopped here for dinner! We ordered the charcoal chicken (+ rice/fries/hummus), the meat manaeesh, with a side of fresh pita, and we were incredibly happy with the flavour and the portion sizes! Each component was tasty on its own, and they all came together pretty nicely! We’re definitely looking forward to coming back here and trying a few other things on the menu!

We came here for picking up takeout food. We arrived and ordered food, and they said it will take 20mins. We came back after walking for 20mins, and they still hadn't started making our food. We had to wait for an hour to get our food, when the restaurant was pretty empty (9 people only). Food was ok - we tried the pizza, shawarma bowl and falafel saj wrap - saj wrap was pretty good, rest was ok. Would probably visit when i have an hour to waste.

Went for sheesha and it was very pathetic. Didn't felt any flavour , it was only coal coming into mouth. Paid the bill after having 5-6puffs. Money wasted!!!

Updated June 22: The food was amazing but the experience was a little weird. It seems like they might cater more to take-out. The whole time we were there we were the only customers (we were there 12:30-2:00). We were also told by our server that they have no breads (indeed, all references to "fresh pita" had been blacked out from the menu). We had wanted to order the trio sampler (Hummus, Mutabal, Baba Ghanouj) but we were recommended against it by the server as they don't have anything to eat it with. We also asked for water and were told they don't have any, bottles or tap. We got our water bottles from our car.Again, the food we did order was delicious, it was just a weird experience.

We ordered a family platter, which was for around $70. To be honest with you, only one person can eat that family platter. There are only 2 skewers and a couple of meat pieces. The salad was stale and soaked in lemon juice. The bread was very hard, so they gave us regular pita, but we only ate. Other places we ate we can have 4 complete meals for that money. I order Turkish pizza later, so at least we can eat something. I ended up paying over $110, and we were still hungry.

I ordered 2 veggie platters for take out. Both were missing the grape leaf rolls. Rest of the items tasted ok but I would expect all items listed on the platter to be served at the least.

We came here for the first time recently. For 4 persons, we ordered 3 items but only two came: 1/2 (half) kilo mixed grill and Triple XXX. For drinks, we ordered a pot of green tea. Total cost was approx. $110 before tax & tips. As it turned out, the quantity of food was perfect for 4 persons. We all loved the humus, pita, salad, rice and chicken. The beef was tender. The fries were from Costco. Almost everything was good except for the faint smell of tobacco as this restaurant doubles as a Hookah Bar. We planned to have dessert somewhere else so we skipped their dessert options. The waiter's service was okay although we struggled to understand his English. The cashier was friendly though. He gave us a rice pudding cup covered in sliced almond and crushed pistachios to try. It was delicious. Next time, we'll order takeout so our clothes don't pick up the Hookah scent.

Love the food here, every item on the menu is full of flavor, salads are so fresh with juicy ingredients! No matter how many times we go there it is consistent.Its just that the hookah house smoke blocks us to go with the kids. But even then we cant stop going here due to amazing food.

Ordered from here on UberEats as it was one of the listed "vegetarian options." The menu was plentiful with both vegetarian and meat-based options, from sampling platters to wraps and more! I would recommend the sampling platters if youre looking to try something new. Great portions and fair prices.

We were looking for something delicious that was open late at night after a long day of work and would have settled for something simple but we're very pleasantly surprised to find such a happening and delicious restaurant! They do have a very good reputation for great food and a good time and the place was near capacity at 11:00 p.m. on a Friday night. We ordered a 1 kg mixed grill for our party of four and it was literally the perfect amount of food! All the meats especially the kafta were juicy and flavorful and the dips especially the eggplant were satisfyingly delicious. The pita was another one of the highlights coming from the kitchen hot and fluffy was the perfect accompaniment to the mixed grill and dips. We had a great time and for sure we will be back!

Went there for lunch the other day. Very good menu with lots to choose from. My sister had the chicken shwarma sanf, I the veal sanj and my wife the chick pea sampler. All were excellent. The service could have been much better. The server never came back during our meal and I had to flag him down to get the check. Prices were not bad at all. Overall, we'd go back since the food is good.
