I couldn't believe how tasteless my chicken shawarma dish was, the rice was unsalted and the chicken was dry and despite a bunch of spices still tasteless with a tiny bit of tahini. Haven't had such bad food in a while. Also the eggplant was uncooked. The beef brisket was ok but tasted like it had American barbecue sauce on it, not middle eastern or Israeli or whatever it's supposed to be. Humus was good though and the service was nice enough though place seems to be run by teenagers. Not much atmosphere...unless you like rocks, there's lots of rocks in the window. Won't be back

So bummed! Pre-Covid, this place used to be THE place we would head to Media for. Not anymore. We recently ordered the ground lamb, beef brisket, and warm mushroom hummus entrees for take-out. The brisket was okay, but overall we couldn’t believe how flavorless everything was! Even the cucumber/tomato side salad was a complete bust. Zero zing. Bland as hell. And for the high prices of these entrees, you get very little. They used to serve plenty of mouth-watering sides and salads along with the main dishes, and now the entrees feel like little starters. (The only thing worth it was the pita. They are still doing that right.) Equally underwhelming is that they seem to be running a cheesesteak side hustle, evidence of a sad departure from yesteryears. Unfortunately, it was an overall unremarkable and disappointing experience from a place that used to serve up the most scrumptious of Mediterranean cuisine. And we love to support Israeli-inspired businesses. We will eventually check in again, and hope they get their game back.

Did takeout. Food was excellent. I was still eating my Greek salad three days later and it was still great! Humus was the best ever. Desert Rose chicken huge and delicious.

Some very top notch falafel here. It's as good as this place in Philly I used to love called Mama's. Delicious

Get the 18" cheesesteak. Easily feeds two. The tabouli is really good too with some

I ordered through Uber Eats and picked up myself. I ordered 2 Schwarma platters. Haven't eaten here in over a year. Definitely changed. Zero flavor. Very uninspired meal. Won't be back.

We loved everything we tried during a weekday lunch. The falafel was so green and well executed, in addition to being served with a delicious tahini (hummus) and top quality extra version olive oil.You have to try the orzo salad. The fresh herbs pack a great flavor. We ordered it to split as a side for 3 people, but it would make a great main dish.If I’m complaining about anything, it’s that they couldn’t go shashika. We’ll have to go back to try it!Our other order was the chicken shawarma at the recommendation of our server. This is another great dish! We couldn’t decide what we liked the most out of everything we tried.
I would recommend Calling first to make sure they are open. I would not recommend going only by the posted online hours or else you will be in for a disappointment. Other than that the food has always been good
