I ordered, paid for the order, then my wrap was being prepared. I see the worker putting the finishing touches on my wrap, crisping it on the grill.. so I wait to be handed my order. While waiting, someone else comes in.. orders and pays, customizes their bowl.. receives their bowl ....and then is given an extra bowl that a customer didn't pick up and was told it was to make up for the "wait".. meanwhile, the worker who made my wrap has long disappeared and my order has been sitting on the grill. That person who came in after me, has now left. I only received my order a few minutes after that. Btw there were no other people in line waiting. Just me, standing there for over 15 minutes waiting on an order that was done. Also, the way I was talked to was not okay when I was asked was 'said bowl' my order. So unfortunately, this came across as racially motivated, since I was treated as less of a priority. And it's really rare that I feel that way but... this was a weirdly rude experience. Will not be returning. Thank you for my meal.

Al-Diar is no different. It's tiny inside, with only three tables. The tables have plastic tablecloths with another piece of plastic on top, making clean-up easy, as Yemeni food is typically eaten in a communal fashion out of one dish and by hand. The chairs are foldable, but at least they're cushioned. There is silverware you can help yourself to, but when I asked if I could have an extra plate, they said no. In any case, we ordered a chicken mandi and a shrimp stew. The food took a while to come out, but both dishes were excellent. The mandi included flavorful chicken, rice, a few raisins, chopped veggies (onions, tomatoes, jalapenos), and a couple of different sauces on the side. This was a very enjoyable dish. The shrimp stew was also very flavorful; it was saucy enough and included some chopped veggies. Service was decent and pricing was fair.

I looked them up on TikTok and the reviews were equal to the written ones. Usually, I take whatever those "influencers" say with a grain of salt because they think everything is good. They have no standards. However, for this place they were right on the money. This is a small shop and the parking lot is kind of weird. You can easily find a spot here since it's mostly a takeout place. They have 3 barstools for waiting for your food. They also have a tiny table that seats 2 inside and a table outside. It's a true mom and pop shop. The wife hands you a free falafel with hummus. The falafel is crispy outside and the inside is very fresh. Nothing is dry. The couple is very kind and generous. The prices are great for what you get. They are closed on Sundays and they are open late. I got the chicken shawarma sandwich and beef shawafel sandwich. The chicken shawarma had slices of marinated chicken thighs along with the house salad and sauce. It was amazing. I really enjoyed how tender the chicken was. It went great with the sauce and salad. The beef shawafel was about the same except it has beef and falafel in it. It was equally as good as the chicken. You can also get shawarmas in a wrap or a platter, but I prefer getting them in a classic pita. I know where to go if I have a craving for shawarma.

My only complaint was that it wasn't as crispy as I wanted, i think both the fried chicken and the wrap being meh in terms of that crispy bite you'd expect. As you can see it is toasted but it was still more chewy than crispy. Otherwise the flavors are decent and for like a $15 meal, it's ok. The portion is good and it does the job.

I catered food from Reef Kabob for my staff. I found this place on google and saw there were great reviews, so I had to try. People are right, the food here was amazing, but so was the customer service. It started off by calling the place to inquire about how much food to order. I told them the number of people and right away they were very helpful in putting together a great assortment of meats accompanied by all of the fixings. The food was delivered promptly and arrived warm. Our entire staff thought the food was delicious and I will be catering from here again! read more

I'm slowly making my way around Little Palestine for the best eats. I read from other people on…read moresocial media that Holy Buckets is the place to be for halal fried chicken. I had halal beef before in burgers and they were very juicy. I was anxious to try halal fried chicken. They are located in a big strip mall. Parking is very spacious. The restaurant itself is medium size, you have a mix of tables and booths. They didn't have the deals we saw online on their in store menu. It was weird. They said we can order online and they will bring the food out to us. We were a group of three. The customer service was phenomenal, everyone was welcoming. Prices were good for how much you receive. We ordered dark chicken (8 pieces), whole wings (10 pieces), mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, and drinks. Palestinians always give a generous amount of food. The dark chicken bucket was a mix of drumsticks and thighs. The thighs were like the size of American chicken breasts. The whole wings were meaty and big. The chicken in general was very succulent and moist. Easily in my top 3 favorite fried chicken places period. I believe the wings came with one biscuit and fries. The biscuit was not dry and honey flavored. The fries were crunchy and seasoned. The mashed potatoes were okay, Popeyes does it better. The mac and cheese tasted different. Different seasonings, it was okay. This is about a 4.5 out of 5. The sides could use some work.
