Get your falafel fix down the street at the newly opened Falafel location at the Waterpark on Crystal Drive.

Did not receive kafta instead we got ice cold shredded meat shawarma in every meal. This restaurant used to be in our rotation but this was a massive fail.

The service was good, unlike other locations. This location is so generous with the amount of meat they put in. I would

Very good food and the staff was helpful for a person that didn't know what I wanted. Essentially a Q'doba but for Mediterranean food.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no ramps or steps in this place or at the entry.

Came for the first time. The girl making my bowl was throwing everything into the bowl without a care. The chicken portion was so sparse, I paid for extra. When I asked for cold toppings on the side since I wouldn’t be eating it right away she was very rude, on top of barely speaking english which made it harder to communicate. The chicken was so dry and unflavorful. Places like this make Mediterranean food look bad.

I love the food. Each location a little different from the other. Food so far has been better than the service. I usually get take out/togo but this time I ate in the restaurant. The first time that I did a build your own bowl, I felt like I had been shorted because my bowl didn’t have as much as some of the other customers bowls who had ordered their prefixed bowls. The second time I went, I asked for two scoops of hummus, two scoops of spicy hummus, two scoops of Greek yogurt and I asked for extra egg plant. They pretty much gave me what I asked for, and I only had one serving of their protein, but filled my bowl up with other things., I was able to eat that over the course of the day.

Would be nice if when the card reader is down, they put the CASH ONLY sign on the *outside* door rather than after the 30-person line when you're placing your order.

What a fun place! We really enjoyed our visit. It's a "Subway Sandwich"-style Mediterranean bowl restaurant. You can really get healthy options here, and satisfy multiple appetites. We all want to go back again soon. It also seems like it would be a great place for families. We will be back again!

Definitely my go-to pick up food in Crystal City, it’ll always be delicious once you figure out your favorite combination of ingredients!

What's with the tiny &*% bowl that was provided instead of the usual size??? The cost was the same as usual ($12+) for a meager ration. The bowl isn't much bigger than the folded napkin provided and shorter than a standard 3x8 envelope (see pic for reference).When I inquired about the change, I was told "they ran out of the usual size bowl, um I don't know... I think they're going keep it though..."I'm still starving after this and now have to go buy a steak and cheese!

I love this place! I'd describe it as the "Mediterranean Chipotle." Start with a bowl and add your toppings to rice and greens. The flavors are absolutely delightful. The feta hummus was my favorite. The falafel were worth it.Vegetarian options: Yes

This place is awesome. Came here on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. They have many options and they’re all so fresh. I could have this everyday of the week and not get tired of it. Staff was super friendly and helpful on explaining all of the menu items and recommendations. Will definitely be back to try out different combinations. Drinks are great too. Gotta try then all.

It’s a decent place that offers halal food. If you want to hangout with a small group of friends or even have something for yourself, the buffet offering is a plus, and they offer unlimited toppings. If you want to get something healthy and has flavor, you’ll like it. Also, their service doesn’t include waiting on tables or serving. So, you’ll have to select, buy and take it—could be a great option for a takeaway! Overall, I found the food to be great, and the place to have given off a certain Mediterranean vibe!
