The second I tasted the garlic sauce, I had an immediate realization, this is the kind of place that accidentally ends up on my weekly rotation. I would legitimately come back just for pita and that garlic sauce. No shame.
I ordered online and, because I have no self-control, kept adding things to my cart. Ended up with a falafel wrap, a side beef kebab, a side of rice, and a garlic sauce. I had no idea the wrap came with a generous serving of steak fries, so that was a nice surprise.
Now... I may have ruined my own ability to objectively review the falafel because the first thing I did was absolutely smother it in that garlic sauce. Underneath my terrible scientific methods, the falafel was crispy, flavorful, and every bite had a nice little crunch of freshness (pickle, onion, maybe tomato? I mentioned, smoothered in garlic sauce). The pita itself deserves a mention, too. It was soft, fresh, and held everything together without falling apart. Nothing over-the-top or fancy, just a really good pita and a wrap that felt like a fair portion for the price.
The beef? I only stole one bite because I'm saving it for later, but it was tender, flavorful, and paired with some seriously delicious crunchy onions. The rice is also waiting for Future Me, who's going to have a pretty great evening.
The woman working there was incredibly kind. I showed up a little early after ordering online, let her know I was probably ahead of schedule, and she came out to greet me, chatted for a moment about the storm rolling in, and brought my food right out.
One thing that surprised me was the size of the place. I'd seen people describe it as a "hole in the wall," but... I don't know what kind of walls they're used to. This place is much bigger than a hole.
I'll definitely be back. Mostly because that garlic sauce has already made itself a problem.
Future Jess checking in: I originally hadn't tried the rice, but now I'm standing in front of my refrigerator eating it cold with a spoon, and I have zero regrets. It's beautifully cooked, and there's this subtle cardamom flavor that somehow makes plain rice ridiculously addictive. I kept wondering what I'd eat it with. Turns out... nothing. It doesn't need anything. I also demolished the beef kebab straight out of the fridge, and it was just as delicious cold as it was fresh.
