This place continues to be fabulous!
Unassuming on the outside, but the restaurant offers delicious food with beyond generous portions.
Between the 3 of us, we split a 6-piece stuffed grape leaves appetizer, large baba ghanouj, and a platter with hummus, chicken shawarma, and beef shawarma.
Everything was fresh and fantastic. The stuffed grape leaves appetizer was a great vegetarian option. It was flavorful and had a nice, not overwhelming tartness. The baba ghanouj was rich, creamy, and delicious with the pita bread.
The platter was huge. It came with a generous portion of hummus and equally generous portions of shawarma. Both the chicken and beef were excellent. The platter also came with a plate of crispy, well-seasoned fries.
Service was friendly, if a tad on the slow side.
I don't love the 3% credit card fee and don't love that you have to pay for bottled water as the restaurant doesn't offer complimentary tap water. However, even with the credit card fee and not-free water, the prices were affordable: large baba ghanouj ($7.98), 6 piece grape leaves ($6.18), hummus shawarma platter ($20.58), water ($1.03), and can of Coke ($2.06).
All of that food was more than enough for 3 people, and it came out to be slightly less than $13 a person before tip.
And though drink refills aren't free, refills of the pita bread are complimentary. read more
