I had actually ordered my food to go and was there for a pick up. It seems that most people come in to pick up their food. I ordered the salmon and hummus plate and my man ordered the gyro salad. Both meals tasted light, fresh and healthy. They both came with a tasty warm pita, and the gentleman that owns the restaurant also included a free piece of a lemon cream pie that seemed to have a homemade crust. Yummy! I did not get any hummus with my meal which it was called the salmon and hummus plate, but not a dealbreaker. I would definitely return to this restaurant.

The restaurant is pretty big and good for big parties. Parking can get a little challenging but if you come early enough its not too bad. The staff was really good too, we had little kids and they were very accommodating and interacted with the kids. They also gave us ice cream since it was someone's birthday.

They had unfortunately run out of baklava, but Raz came through like a superhero! Just 15 minutes before closing, he managed to bring two of us baklava--and what a way to finish the meal! That kind of service and attention to your guests really makes a difference. And don't forget to get the pickles! They're listed on the menu as pickled cucumbers, although to me, they taste just like delicious kosher dill pickles. I'm not sure why they're called something different, but that tangy flavor adds such an amazing touch to the meal. Thank you, Tahini, for a great meal, great atmosphere, and a great evening with my cousin. And Raz, you're definitely our baklava superhero! ‍ Five stars all around!

Our second experience we got the chicken shawarma Brian's way. Everything was cooked well, but I guess although I like pickles, I'm not as big a fan of Mediterranean pickles. The first bite or two were actually good, but subsequent bites the pickle tanginess was overwhelming and just not so pleasant as I finished it. I thought maybe I'll get it without the pickles next time. However, after eating I got an unexpected headache that usually comes from ingestion of MSG. The fries were tasty... maybe there was MSG in those? Not sure. I've honestly had much better phenomenal shawarma in San Joes CA. I have yet to find a great Shawarma here in San Diego. Feel free to recommend.

Soooo Delicious!!!…read more Service was excellent!!! Owners made all the food to order and served the dishes to everyone. They interacted with all the customers, explaining the menu, and giving recommendations. They were very friendly and welcoming. Food was DELICIOUS!!!! Everything was made fresh to order.

I ordered some tea, a bowl of amazing garlicky Foul (pronounced fool, an open faced meat pie (lahm bajeen) in the flakiest lightest crust I've ever had, and super sweet and extra cheesy Kunafi with Kaack for desert. I was so impressed, I ordered dinner to-go (Stuffed kusa (known as mexican squash) and stuffed cabbage). Large beautiful dining area, great for small or big groups. Warning, parking is tight.

We left happy and full! Service was considerably slow but keep in mind this is a small "mom and pop" local restaurant and we came with reservations for a party of 9, it's completely understandable. Busy little parking lot with small spaces. Still Managed to find a spot for my mid-sized truck because I was lucky people were hiding from the rain. Loved the pine nuts and flavors in their kiddie! Makes me want to try their other variations of this dish on the menu. This is something you need to experience here. The fresh mint lemonade was truly refreshing too! My nephews enjoyed the crispy fries. I snagged several because they were that addictive and because potatoes are my kryptonite. I can see why Food Network's Triple D visited this place--it's got a welcoming vibe along with some good food. Need to come back soon to try other items on the menu.

Incredibly, amazing, and will be spending a regrettable amount of money here - you should too!
