We’ve stopped there for dinner tonight. It was a really amazing experience and the food was authentic and so delicious. We’ve got the flafel plater, beef shawarma wrap, chicken shawarma wrap, and kifta kabobs wrap. They’ll were delicious and the prices were shocking cheap. It’s a small place and hard to find a parking spot nearby, but the vibe was amazing.P.s. I recommend that nobody should worry about the owner talking to himself in the back, as long the food is delicious.Vegetarian options: So many vegetarian options

Came here while on a weekend trip in Providence. The food was so fresh and tasty, would 1000% recommend if you’re in the area looking got some quality eats. Bonus points for having the Saturday college games on TV with the 4-way telecast.

Really good value here. Came at 5:30 on a Friday and food was ready so quickly.They give so much baba ghanoush for only $5. It was really tasty and creamy.I got their Shawarma Mix (lamb & chicken) for $13 and my mom got the Chicken Shawarma plate ($11). The white sauce that came with each was so tasty, I was mixing it with everything.However, the meat itself lacked some flavor and not all the pieces were tender. Although, the amount of meat and food overall that was given was generous.Friendly staff and very quick service.

The cook I think he is the owner of the place was mumbling and cursing everybody that came into his restaurant in Arabic and the poor people didn't understand a word he was saying. Please don't buy from him and don't waste your money on someone disrespectful and don't appreciate his costumers or the food he serves. شخص قذر جدا يسب بألفاظ محد يقولها قدام النعمة وهو يطبخها وعلى باله كل الناس ماتفهم مابقى احد ما سبه حتى البنات اللي يشتغلون سبهم. سب كل الناس اللي موجودين والمساكين ياكلون ومو فاهمين شي. ما اعرف ليش فاتح مطعم اذا كذا رح تتلفظ بهذي الالفاظ كل ما احد دخل المكان. الله لا يوفقك ولا يبارك لك في رزقك. شخص قذر خَلقًا و خُلقًا لو عندك ذرة احترام لنفسك ماقلت هالكلام البذيء امام النعمه. اخواني واخواتي العرب وخصوصًا الخليجين احفظوا مالكم وكرامتكم. اصلًا محد رح يقدر ياكل من يد شخص قال كل الالفاظ ما احترم النعمه اللي في يده صدقوني والله ما تمر و تنسد نفسكم.
