The food was good, but it is NOT gluten free! The rice contains tiny chopped up egg noodles, I didn't realize until I had eaten several bites. I would not have thought that a rice dish contained wheat, but apparently this is a traditional style. Fellow GF persons beware!

We were so disappointed. Food was way, way overcooked. Think lamb jerky and freeze dried chicken. The restaurant was filthy and the bathroom was worse. We won't be going back.

Had lunch for the first time today and the food is so delicious. Definitely coming back for lunch again. I had the chicken shawarma rice plate and everything was amazing. I also got a piece of baklava and it is the best.

So delicious! Both the chicken shwarma plate and lamb kebsa plates were superb. Tadziki sauce has big chunks of cucumber, kebsa rice perfectly spiced, lamb super tender. Huge portions at great prices. Only downside was seemingly microwaved?? falafel, not at all crispy, but we still ate them. Definitely one of our new spots.

The last time I tried food like this it was from a fast food joint type of establishment so everything came out premade out of a package. This place definitely makes everything from scratch. The customer service was great and the atmosphere was nice. My beef in my gyro was super tough and the whole thing was really soggy. The rice was good and the falafel was good for my first time trying it.

Don't really have anything to complain about here. Gyro was solid, hummus was solid, pita was good.It was a little awkward at first, when I entered everyone just stared and I couldn't even figure out who was supposed to take my order, over time they warmed up and became more friendly though. Very small family owned restaurant though, so I am happy to support the restaurant and see that it is still in business.
