She was also on her way back home that day so we wanted to send her off with some good food memories. We needed spicy, vegetarian, and filling. The way I was googling, flipping through Eater. Woo - the pressure! Sumac was it because like who doesn't love falafel?? (If you don't, then be quiet and keep scrolling). We kept it simple with 3 pitas and a large order of spicy lamb fries without the lamb, but with the spice. I've never seen such huge pita in my life. Even at the very bottom there were still falafel. And the fries. I could cry. The pita was very soft and flavorful. The food was a work of art. Things: -chair and bench style seating. I was comfortable in the chair which is always a win. -service was excellent. You choose a seat then order at the counter. Someone clears your plates and mess. -they don't take AMEX

The brioche bread was well toasted, and it didn't seem to break apart easily or make a mess. There was a good amount of filling, and it was quite flavorful. Next, I tried the baklava pancakes, and I liked that the pancakes were fluffy, soft, and quite thick as well. It does come with a cream topping, which was sweet but not sickly sweet, and it paired very nicely with the pancakes. The baklava crumbles were a nice touch, though on their own, they can be quite sweet. Service was super friendly and really patient with our group of six, as we were still undecided on what to choose. I liked that we were not rushed at all.

I noticed a bar area and asked about drinks but was informed it was byob alcoholic beverages... which is very strange to me for a restaurant. I ordered the spiced lamb croquettes for appetizer and the Manti for my main (it is my absolute favorite Turkish dish). I was very dissatisfied with both dishes. The meat inside both was completely devoid of spice so really just plain meat filling. I would have ordered dessert but wasn't going to take a chance on that being tasteless too. Would not return here, I felt ripped off on how much I paid. These dishes would have been 1/4 the price and 1000 times better in Turkey.

I got a Roma sandwich. They portions are HUGE for the price and it's always so hard to finish the whole meal but worth the price you pay. Not an expensive place and you HAVE to get their fresh lemonade. Staff takes a lot of pride in their work and you can tell that everything is fresh and made with love. Overall food was a 10, service was a 10, and although it was a little hot in the establishment when we arrived the staff easily accommodated and closed any open doors to put on the a/c they have indoors. Ate here atleast 3 times while I was on my trip. Small shop but worth the wait to get a table. They also have outside seating if you prefer.

They have a vegan pita that uses faux meat that tastes just like shawarma, with all the fixings like hummus, tomatoes, lettuce, etc. in a warm pita wrap. I was very surprised at how good it was and they really seemed to be happy to provide plant-based options. I also tried a side of their potatoes and falafels with a vegan garlic sauce that they happened to provide upon request. Both were fine - neither were the best I've had by a long shot, but fine for being fast food. Given the nature of the restaurant, there is absolutely cross-contamination, but I'm sure you knew that already.
