It also didn't list the toppings so I did feel a little overwhelmed going up To order. I ended up getting the Shawarma chicken bowl and it was just very... okay. The bowl is very heavy (three spoonfuls) of rice and chicken then I added cucumber lettuce tomato and onion then got hummus and tzatziki. I also got a side of hot sauce. It was disappointing they didn't have feta or banana peppers. The chicken was so dry it was almost sharp. The garlic sauce is very pungent and the hot sauce I'm pretty sure is red hot. The best part of it was the hummus. I probably won't go back

I asked her where I go could get good Palestinian food and she suggested trying Lavash. I was expecting a small family restaurant, but Lavash is a large restaurant that apparently does a lot of catering also. My wife and I love Middle Eastern food and I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. The Friday Special, Lamb Mencef was delicious and could easily feed a family of four, with several sides also. Basically it is large pieces of Lamb and lots of yellow rice, and a wonderful sauce, so you need to order (or make) side dishes too. We both are in our late 70's and no longer have large appetites, so this dish lasted through several meals. We both are from the Midwest and lamb is rarely on menus here in America, and the lamb on this dish is about as good as it gets. Very mild and not dried out. Thanks for the recommendation, Summer!

It's a beautiful restaurant that sits along the river and has some beautiful views - especially on a gorgeous spring/summer evening! Their food is top notch as well! I've dined in several times in the past, but decided to get takeaway and take it to the pavilion by the pedestrian bridge to people watch and have a nice after dinner walk. Food to go was just as good as dining in - at least for the Chicken Kebab. Made with white meat chicken, you get 5-6 large pieces with rice and veggies. I was excited to learn they had rice pudding to go as well because theirs is quite good! I ordered over the phone, had about a 25 min wait on a busy evening. All were friendly and ensuring I was being helped.

Little shawarma place that packs a lot of flavor…read more I went in on a whim. Bright. Clean. I'm studying the menu board which tells me the categories of items and then the item. I wish there were pictures but I was able to figure out I wanted a grilled roll. While I'm figuring it out I'm offered a sample of the chix gyro with garlic sauce. Amazingly tender and flavorful with nothing overpowering but really really good flavors. There was quite a language barrier but we figured it out. I also had NO idea what came on the roll other than lamb. So knowing options would have been nice. It was packaged nicely for on the go eating. Again flavor was amazing. It was a little too wet for to go eating about half way through. Other than the crazy overpriced cans of cola the price to value was good. Overall this is really well seasoned food with some variety that I want to come back and explore. It seems to be owner operated and ran by a few people trying to do it well and making improvements and growing along the way. I was really impressed with the seafood offerings. Red snapper....!?!?!

They had plastic lidded cups of fresh juices on ice for around $7. They are closed on Tuesdays. They do not serve alcohol. I thought the food was good, and portioned well. They are a bit pricey, but the food tasted fresh.

Quality of the food was really good and the portions were very generous. Everything was well seasoned and meat was very flavorful and moist. Usually kebabs are hit or miss when it comes to flavor and moisture of the meat, commonly getting too dry, but this was coked beautifully. Definitely recommend trying this place out if you're in the area!
