Not super convenient handicap parking spots but there are normal spots that are closer. There wasn't anyone there to greet us after we dropped off my in-laws but they had a table already so it was easy to find. Space is medium sized with plenty of booths. 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!

We have eaten Take Out here twice in the last 3 weeks. The food was spectacular! I had heard about…read moreLavash from our pharmacist at Kroger who is Palestinian. 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!

There was a photo of a barramundi entree that looked good, so I ordered that. I also got a chicken shawarma entree. The entrees come with rice & side salad. I also ordered a fried cauliflower side. After unpacking my bag at home, I found 5 pieces of pita bread with extra garlic sauce. It is whipped and very garlicky. I didn't like it and couldn't eat it. 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.

Will happily come back.

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.

HUGE seating space! They have room! All the windows, too, letting in all the sunshine…read more This was my first stop after seeing them pop up while searching for lunch. I opted for Tawouk - a seasoned chicken wrap, served with fries, pickles, and a drink (strawberry passionfruit). Tried it spicy - it's a sneaky heat that hit after I was done, but still dry and not too spicy (for me, if you're spicy adverse, don't do it!) I could eat that chicken all day long. It's seasoned so well, that I just wanted MORE. AND you see the racks of the chicken in the kitchen, over the flame! I have no idea how to explain the sauces - savory, not sweet was another reviewer's words and I agree. Put some on the wrap, some on fries, it all goes together. I dig it. It IS a little pricey - but I left full, and craving more of that chicken, that'll bring me back.

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....!?!?!

The shawarma is also packed with flavor and getting some pita and hummus is a go to call! The baklava is a perfect sweet treat to end the meal!
