The space is absolutely adorable--bright, clean, and full of charming touches like floral decor and cozy seating. You can tell they put real thought into creating a welcoming atmosphere. As a vegetarian dining with kids who aren't, I really appreciated the variety on the menu. There were plenty of fresh, flavorful options for both me and my kids, which made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. Everything we ordered was delicious and clearly made with quality ingredients. The service was friendly, and everything--from the food to the presentation to the cleanliness of the space--was on point. This is a place I'd happily visit again and recommend to others. A great choice for families, food lovers, and anyone looking for a feel-good meal in a lovely setting!

Spicy chicken they offered sold me. The food did the talking. I did not hesitate to go in and order a good bowl. Ordered spicy chicken Buddha bowl and it was so tasty. If you like spicy curry, this is the bowl to try. Chicken was moist and the flavors were all sorts of wizardry tasting. Bursts of flavor. Bowl consist of mixt greens, basmati rice, spicy chicken, corn, bell Peppers, onion, sour cream, parmesan. They have some other items on menu that also seem appealing--something on the healthier side if that's what you're looking for. Vibe in the restaurant was really chill. Tough to tell you're in the market itself. Also have coffee offerings. Bowl was a bit pricey but sadly... what food isn't these days? Parking is a bit tough since it's street parking or parking lot.

The portions are very generous too, this will easily last me at least two meals! On top of that, the owner was an absolute pleasure and made my first dining experience there even better.

The staff are busy working - and this is very much a "DYI" establishment (screens to order on your own food, menu boards on LED screens) - but they are still very friendly & helpful if you need something or have a question. I ordered the "Sweet Soy Five Spice" stir fry bowl (with a few customizations). The portion? Perfect. The flavor? Fantastic. The quality? Amazing. While it is a little pricey, I don't feel too bad about paying for great quality food in such a nice location. It definitely has that "casual upscale" vibe, in a good way. They have a good rewards program which I'm always a sucker for. Also, they have a handful of fun dessert & cold entree options that I definitely plan to try when I return. One of the coolest things was the QR code on the bottle of water I got - it led me to a page with one of the chef's recommended "secret menu" items. Just a nice touch - something my marketing brain is thankful for! :) I will certainly be heading back here sooner than later. They may have just earned a "regular" customer with me!!

Our meals were wonderful and so fresh tasting. The kids meal was great but it was put in a take out container while the adult meals were in eat-in bowls. I'm not sure if that's how it always comes or if they were out of small bowls. But it was hard for the kids to eat out of. Don't love that the only fruit option was grapes because I didn't have anything to cut them with for my toddler. We got a couple desserts to go - the banana pudding was good concession to not having a Magnolia Bakery around here. Definitely would get again. The Cobbler was also good but there was a lot of yogurt and not enough other stuff. Overall, while on the pricier side, it's definitely worth it. I would come here again and again. There was one employee who was super attentive and helpful - I wish I noticed their name! But the experience was great.

It's a middle eastern restaurant primarily serves shawarma and other middle eastern cuisines. It's located next to a college building. Parkings are street only. Once we parked on the street we walked over to the restaurant. Inside is spacious pretty clean and there are quite a bit of tables and chairs. We went up to the counter to place orders. I got mixed shawarma plate and baklava. I wanted to try their mango lassi but they were out. The shawarma plate came with choice of rice or mujadara which is a lentil mixed with other vegetables. I got rice with it and it comes with chicken and beef shawarma, rice, salad, pita bread, hummus, garlic sauce and baba ghanoush. The salad, rice, pita bread, and shawarma were ok. Shawarma may have been better if it was earlier during the day as they would be fresher. The stars of the show were the sauces. Hummus, baba ghanoush and garlic sauce were all excellent. Mixing the sauce elevated the shawarma to the next level. Baklava was delicious as well. Not too sweet and that nutty flavor comes out strong. Service was good and staffs were friendly. The dish came out within about 10 minutes or so Overall it's a pretty good shawarma spot. If i were to come back i would see if they would allow substitution with salad for more rice and sauces on top instead of side so that i can have more rice and meat. I've had better quality shawarma but sauces were excellent.

The staff at the counter were fantastic, friendly and helpful. My giant roast beef sandwich on an onion roll with lettuce tomato, onion and horseradish sauce was great. I paired it with a cup of clam chowder. Creamy, well seasoned packed with perfectly cooked potatoes and plenty of clams was right on point. My daughter and her boyfriend got the steak tip dinner.

I got the wings bone in with sweet chili and garlic buffalo. Really nice cook on the wings, but the garlic buffalo is way more garlic than one would presume so I just took them home and put more buffalo on them and that balanced them out really well. They have really good ranch. They also serve blue cheese. They do celery and carrots. I also got my husband some to go wings that they serve by the half pound when they're boneless and so he got a pound and a half and so every half pound you get a sauce option so he got three different sauces and he got the garlic buffalo also another one I can't think of right now and then he got this balsamic fig! It was the most interesting experience I've probably ever had on a piece of chicken was very, very good. There's street parking I don't think they have a parking lot but it's a small space. Honestly they probably do a lot of carry out just because I'm presuming only about 15 to 20 people could actually sit in the restaurant, but the quality of the chicken was really really high it wasn't that busy so the service was good That's it.
