IF you're looking for some of the best Mediterranean food in town, this place absolutely delivers…read more I'm visiting from California and have been here for two weeks--and I've ended up coming back every single day. That alone says a lot. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish I've tried has been packed with authentic taste, from perfectly seasoned proteins to vibrant sides that really stand out. You can tell there's real attention to quality and execution in every bite. What makes the experience even better is the staff. Everyone is genuinely friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. It creates an atmosphere that makes you want to stay, relax, and keep coming back. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is a spot you don't want to miss. Reliable, delicious, and warm hospitality every time. The owner is very nice also

Yall, this place is really good! My first visit and I told the guy I was thinking about the chicken…read moreshawarma or the gyro, he said the chicken shawarma so I went with that. And it was definitely the right choice for me. Filled with chicken, garlic, lettuce, pickles and it was yummy goodness. I ordered a side of fries, they weren't anything special, but they were made right as I ordered. My friend ordered the falafel sandwich and the Fattoosh side salad. The salad is pretty big and can be shared and the Lebanese dressing was light and refreshing. She enjoyed her sandwich. Everything was prepared to order and made right in front of you. You can order to go or eat in. Service was quick and the place got busy quick. They also serve breakfast, but I didn't see a menu for that. If you haven't visited please do! The place isn't huge, you seat yourself, we paid at the end of our meal. Will definitely return

There were four of us, and we split the three dishes and it was more than enough food. I would definitely recommended splitting a platter if that's your vibe. Everything was great--the food was very satisfying! The workers were so kind!! They made us feel so comfortable. The atmosphere was casual. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. I will definitely be back for a meal or takeout.

You can order them in plates or platters also. See the menu pictures. The meat was very flavorful and the pita bread good. Also got some hummus and it was very good and was generous in portion and came with pita chips. At another visit I had the falafel and found it to be very good. Service was good. You order at the counter and then find a table to dine in. The place is pretty clean. They also seem to have an open spit for roasting the meat and they carve some of the meat for platter dishes from that. The fountain drinks are self serve.

My sis and I are fans of falafel. The plate came with a bit of hummus but we ordered more separately and are so glad we did! The hummus tasted so good we couldn't stop eating it! They put a little sumac in it and the tweak in the taste really grabbed all of us. Mom liked the falafel so much she wanted to understand what all was in it! We decided to try the fish fahsah and wow were we glad we did! We all agreed this is a must have on the menu for us, though we also want to try the lam version. It had such an incredible combination of flavors! We always like the kabobs and went for the chicken again. The plate includes chicken, rice, pickled vegetables and yogurt. We ordered to go, service as always was great.

Lots of options for parking and you can do a little shopping if you need any of the other shops in the complex! Service is great, the staff was very friendly. I was offered complimentary hot tea upon arrival and even got complimentary lamb broth soup and a small (but delicious!) salad with cucumber, lettuce, tomato with my entree. My first time there I ordered the half grilled chicken plate and hummus. The hummus arrived first and was beautifully plated and came with a huge piece of homemade and FRESH bread. Hummus was delicious and the bread was warm and cozy. The half chicken plate came out and let me tell you, I ate that food for the next three days. It was just little ol' me with a giant half chicken, probably a pint of rice, and a salad of veggies. It was soooooooo good. I love taking a bite of hummus with some rice and some chicken. It makes my heart happy. The next time I went I ordered the chicken kabob plate to try to scale it down. The kabob plate didn't come with the soup and salad, but that was okay because it was still a ton of food! Ten pieces of grilled chicken, a huge serving of rice, and some veggies on the side. I can't wait to eat it for the next few days. This place is easy, right off Perkins exit of the 40, lots of parking, and you can sit by yourself and have a nice long lunch. It's not the most aesthetically pleasing place on the inside, but when the food tastes like it does it doesn't even matter. Bonus it's right next to a cozy Yemeni coffee shop and a Mediterranean grocery store.

From the moment we walked in, everything felt top-tier--clean, welcoming, and beautifully set up for a great dining experience. The salad bar? Next level. Fresh, vibrant, and packed with a wide variety of options that could honestly be a meal on its own. Every bite felt high-quality and thoughtfully prepared. And the service... flawless. Attentive without being overbearing, friendly, and genuinely on point the entire time. You can tell they care about making sure every guest has an amazing experience. Of course, the star of the show--the meats--were incredible. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and served just right. Pair that with prices that won't make you question your life choices, and you've got a total win. Hands down one of the best Brazilian steakhouses I've ever been to. We'll absolutely be back for more.
