The falafel was pretty crispy and the inside was slightly moist. The tahini sauce helped elevate the falafels. I loved the chicken shwarma and the sauce that went well with the juicy chicken. The bread was toasted and very good. I enjoyed this, and would probably eat here regularly for a chicken shwarma if I lived nearby. I'd try more things if I ever pass through here again. They have some parking, not a lot. I definitely recommend the shwarma.

And it seems I wasn't the only one who discovered this hidden gem. When we got here, the spot was packed inside. Despite this we ordered three different items for a sit-down experience, and still received everything within 25 minutes. I ordered the lamb shawarma wrap on one occasion, and it was love at first bite. The wrap itself was toasted to a perfect brown crisp on the outside, yet retaining softness underneath, where it encapsulated the ranch-like sauce where it mixed with the sliced lettuce, carrots, onions and tomatoes to give it a well rounded, mixed, creamy flavor of the vegetables. The lamb meat itself was the primary vehicle of salt and spice (with emphasis on the garlic), yet never being dry. All this being considered, the wrap never fell apart, and held together the entire journey. I made the mistake of ordering the lamp wrap my first go here, because the next occasion I came here, I got the chicken shawarma bowl. Although the rice, sauce, chicken and vegetables all inherited the same flavor profile as the wrap, the bowl fell wildly below my expectations as it was impossible to get a truly full bite of every single thing utilizing a small fork. Nonetheless, this is truly the spot for a reliable bite that emulates a small taste of the Middle East.

To make matters worse, Google Maps directed us to a condo building about three blocks away.

What was supposed to be a fun date-night adventure turned into a frustrating experience. I completely understand that hours can change, but if your website lists specific hours, customers should be able to rely on that information, especially when they're traveling a significant distance to visit.

I try not to rag on servers because I know I could never do what most serves do, but this waitress was putting in bare minimum effort. Its all things I could get past, if the only reason we went was for their slice deal that was advertised on their website. A dollar and some change for two slices sounded like a steal. We sat down and waiting a bit for our server to come over. We placed drink orders and waited a bit (roughly 15 minutes). When our drinks arrived, we informed our waitress that we were looking to do the slice deal. No sooner did our words leave our mouths, she instantly stated "oh we just stopped doing the slice deal. Okay not a problem. We ended up ordering our pizza's and went on with the night. The issue really highlighted when most people that were coming in were looking for the same deal. The deal never stated that there was a limited supply or an end time. I was surprised that they weren't telling people or advertising that the deal was no longer going on. The deal was dine in only and then I had to wonder, how hard would it be to make a pizza and divvy up the slices? The food came out at a decent time but after waiting for drinks and waiting for our waitress to come back to take our order, we were roughly an hour in. Multiple tables had gotten up and left without ever seeing a waitress. It is disappointing because we love the pizza but we will not do sit down service again after this experience. I would stick to take out.

I've been searching for the perfect hot veggie sub and I found it! I am a vegetarian but sometimes I miss certain things about meat, and one of them is steak and cheese subs. Somehow, the way they make their grilled veggie sub, it tastes like I am eating steak and cheese! Plus they deliver all day and evening which is really convenient. Excellent service too. I called the other day and someone in the background somehow noticed it was me calling from the order the man was taking and she said "tell her we have a vegetarian lasagna today" because she knew I was vegetarian! I was so touched by that! Anyway, great place and great food. :) (Frappes and french fries are awesome too!) read more

Good amount of cheese and the sandwich was juicy. The only issues I had were; it was a small sandwich (I understand that they're kinda locked in on the roll size), but for the $$ it was one of the smaller cheesesteaks I've had. The other more glaring issue is without a toasted roll you have about 30 seconds to eat this sandwich before it becomes a soggy mess. Not sure if they have the ability to toast these, but they should really consider it. 6.5 / 10 Side note....who knew how good we had it in 2019 complaining about the high prices of $7 sandwiches.

About a dozen beers on tap. Onion rings were very good. My only gripe is the table service model they use. You order at the register, you take a number, and someone brings your order to the table. What happens when it's busy? Big long line at the register? I prefer full table service if tipping is expected. Everything is à la carte. If you want fries with your burger, you're paying about $20. But they've been here for 25 years, so they are obviously doing things well.
