This will be my new go to for middle eastern food. Fresh and flavorful, generous portions, friendly employees, reasonable prices. What's not to love??

Great shawarma and protein bowl with lots of ingredients Was a bit warm inside the restaurant, but it was a very warm day. We were waited on a by a very friendly man

The food was some of the best I've ever had. The service was remarkable. Beautiful interior.

I wanted to pick up something for lunch when I was nearby. I picked up two middle eastern sandwiches: chicken shawarma and falafel. Have to say that both sandwiches were very good. The Shawarma had a nice garlic butter flavor with fresh ingredients. The falafel was prepared with pickled turnips and tahini. It was delicious as well. I'd like to try one of their bowls where you can add from a nice selection of fresh ingredients. Lentil soup is great.

Been wanting to try this place for about a year &B I've been seeing, lately, social media posts raving about it. Today I FINALLY got the chance to try it & I'm SO happy I stopped in! For starters, the place is very inviting & exceptionally clean & tidy. The two employees I interacted with were super friendly & helpful also, which to me, that's gonna make or break whether or not I'm a return customer, regardless of how great the food tastes. I got one of their bowls & let me just tell you, it was HUGE. I chose chicken shawarma for the protein & yellow rice, as much as I really wanted lettuce, I can never finish a bowl in one sitting & lettuce gets weird after a few hours when it's mixed in with other foods. I also got the feta, which was $1 extra, their Habibi Sauce, which I can't say enough great things about! It has a tang, slightly zippy spicy with a touch of sweet. Make sure if you try this, you get a side to go, you won't regret it! I also got their red pepper hummus, YUM, & garlic sauce, also YUM. They have a variety of veggies you can add to the bowls, I only added red onion (because I'm not a huge veggie fan). I also decided to try their Habibi boneless chicken, which was deeee-lish! I noticed on their website they're adding two more locations, one at 24 & Hayes & one in Fraser, so I'm really looking forward to visiting the 24 & Hayes one as it's much closer than the one on Ryan, which is where I went today because I had an appointment in the area. As far as prices, I felt they were very reasonable, considering all the food I got, along with the quality. Don't pass this place up, because it's kind of a little hidden gem you don't hear a lot about.

They opened in November of last year. Parking along the driveway. Counter order. Some build your own bar, nice. 4 tables inside. It can get a bit chilly inside as the door opens and closes, so do keep your coat on. Ordered the full order of the chicken kafta, comes with 3 skewers with cabbage and turnip on the side, option of rice or fries. Chicken kafta sandwich, comes with one skewer of meat and a small hummus, spicy. $37.06 They were nice to make us a special crushed pepper and special sauce (maybe Habibi sauce ;). The jalapeño hummus is good here. The staff are all pleasant and accommodating and care about your experience. The fattoush is mixed greens, romaine, red onion, cucumber and tomatoes. The dressing is light but nice. The spicy special hummus was good, good amount of heat to it too. The chicken kafta meat had really nice flavor, just a tad dry, but quite tasty. The chicken kafta wrap was pretty good, filled with one skewer of meat, pickles, turnip and garlic sauce. Added spicy hummus to make it even better. The turshi cabbage is yummy. I could eat a whole bowl of the stuff. Food is good, service is even better.

They made my food fresh, the chicken shawarma sandwich and chicken kebab sandwich were good. The tabouli stood out to me the most, it was not super tangy like most places, tasted super balanced. First placed I noticed they have jalapeño cilantro hummus and garlic cilantro sauces so I got those on the side. They were good but maybe a bit too much cilantro. Nice small place for a quick bite, nice decorated. Services was good, the person updated me on my order was it was being made and offered explanation for different item.

This was rice and cracked wheat they offer half and half both were very delicious

This fantastic little cooking kitchen deserves some Yelp love!…read more Located inside the Auburn Ryan Market, on that exact cross street location. It's more of a cooking kitchen than a restaurant, per se. You can call in your order, so that it's ready when you arrive or you can place your order at the counter and shop in the market while you wait. They cook up orders fast- and it's all very fresh! They offer tons of salads- tabouli, Iraqi salad, lebneh, cabbage salad, marinated/sautéed mushrooms, just to name a few. They also have grape leaves and hummus, of course. The sizes of salads and appetizers are sold in small $4, medium $6, and large $8. They portions are beyond generous! More than you'd ever get a your typical sit down restaurant. As I said, this is more of just a cooking kitchen, located inside an ethnic market, so there is no place to sit and eat. It's carry out only. They offer all kinds of pitas and wraps, with your choice of thing/flat pita bread or fluffy/thick, made in house triangle Iraqi bread. They have shawarma cooking on the vertical spits all day long- your choice of chicken or beef. They make kofta kabobs, again both chicken or beef. The Kofta kabobs are the ground mince meat kabobs. Not to be confused with the more familiar chicken tika kabobs and beef or lamb kabobs, which are the cubed marinated type. They also make and sell fried fish. All items can be bought al la cart, as a lunch or dinner plate. Pitas and wraps can be sold as a combo or as pita only. All pitas are ONLY $3.99! How can you beat that price!!? Get a few and save one for later! Not only are the pitas a great price but the whole menu can't be beat! They sell combo trays to feed anywhere from 2 -10 people- and again, these prices can't be beat anywhere! I've been patronizing this "restaurant" and market for nearly 4 years. Never once have I been disappointed with my purchases. Oh- don't forget to grab some fresh made spinach, meat, chicken or cheese pies. Each are only $1. Grab some fresh made Iraqi bread for only 4/$1. Most importantly- get the BUREK! They are amazing! The triangle ones are the mince beef with parsley, pine nuts and spices. The long, cylinder ones are the seasoned shredded chicken. Both are amazing, and only $1 everyday. If you like ethic food and a good ethic market, this is your one stop shopping. Get your lunch or dinner here and shop around while you wait for some delicious food to fill your belly. I dig this place!

Good, nice. Yes. Thank you. Perfect. What I wanted. Will be back. Good. Great. Yum. Thanks. Love…read moreit. Nice, for sure. I am. Yes

Absolutely tremendous food! I had gotten takeout once before and enjoyed my chicken tikka sandwich,…read morebut it didn't make much of an impression. I stopped in on a Saturday morning with my whole family, and it made a tremendous impression! My middle child raved "Best food ever!" I have eaten a lot of middle eastern food - it's my favorite cuisine - and this is some of the best I have ever had. This is Iraqi Chaldean food - could it be better than Lebanese? We got a medium mixed appetizer - you get to choose 5 items from a pretty substantial list. They have the Lebanese staples I'm used to: hummus, tabbouli, baba ghanouj, fattoush. They also have jajeek salad (cucumber and yogurt - like a good tzatziki), Iraqi salad (tomatoes, cucumbers, onions - and beets, which made it great), Beiruty cabbage salad (will try it next time), and pasta salad (will probably need to try this as well). The hummus was less garlic and more tahini, and really great. Then we got a Combo Tray for 2, which might be the single best menu item I have ever ordered. Setting the meat aside for a second, the grilled jalapeno and grilled tomato were excellent, the yellow rice was good, and the brown rice (which they call biryani) was fantastic. But the meat was what set this meal apart. The chicken shawarma was, hands down, the best I have ever had. The beef shawarm was excellent. And the chicken tikka (like tawook) was so moist and perfect - it's what chicken should be. And the chicken cream chop was as perfect as fried chicken should be. This was plenty enough meat for a family of 5 - we didn't finish it; and if we had finished the appetizers, this might be double the meat we needed! The combo tray came with stew, which we also didn't finish, although we really enjoyed it. The stew choices are okra, potato, eggplant, and a fourth one I forget. We tried okra and potato and they were both tasty tomato-based stews. One final note: the pita bread was thrown on the grill quickly before being brought out - the warmth was a nice touch.

My observations: Went for lunch and we were the only…read morecustomers the entire time. Restaurant was large, bright & clean Service was helpful and friendly Pita served with hummus was warm but quite hard. Not what I have come to expect in other middle eastern restaurants. Shawarma sandwich had lettuce on it, which I thought unusual and bread was grilled and not soft. Servings were large and well presented. Food was good but not exceptional.
