Wonderful authentic afghani food with great service. We really enjoyed the rice and kabob dishes the highlight was also the saffron tea. I recommend supporting this restaurant. It's in its infancy and will only get better with time and support!

Medium Afghan Burger, really large portion, so good

Nice cozy hole in the wall restaurant. Impeccable vibes, nice decor, great friendly service. I ordered the Qabuli Uzbek Pulao and afghan burger. The Pulao is well seasoned and has a good amount of meat. The raisins and carrots add a nice sweetness. I was surprised by how much I loved the Afghan burger. It's not a traditional burger, but the combination of fries, sausage and egg is so good. Try this spot.

I found this place in the middle of 2024, when someone posted about possible creamy hummus in the…read morearea. All the usual suspects got mentioned, along with this store that I just had not frequented before. The poster also mentioned their baba was wonderful. I have tried baba everywhere and was always on the lookout for some super baba. Flash forward six months and I have had probably 50 containers of the baba (comes in the 8 oz or 16 oz plastic containers). I have been hooked on their shawarma (both chicken or beef) and, for my palate, feels it's the best that that I have been able to find (yes, I am aware of two places close to here that posters contend is the best shawarma around). What makes it it me is that they include all the add-ons - lettuce, tomato, onions, turnips, cucumber, sauce, hot sauce if requested. Love that overly stuffed shawarma that is filled with everything. I feel the falafel is probably one of the top 3 in northeastern Ohio. I have bought their chicken numerous times and find that is excellent. It is fresh - good white color, not dark yellow. Dates listed are very current. Smells fine. Tastes fine. The store has a nice selection of your arabic grocery staples like pitas from Jasmine, pickled jarred products, dates, oils, fresh produce, refrigerated cheeses, etc. Shocking to see that no one has left a review for them in the last 3 years. Well I am and I highly, highly recommend you go in to check them out. Employees are plentiful. Prices are compatible to the other markets on Lorain Road. Oddly they do not appear to sell stuffed grape leaves, garlic sauce, hot sauce or items like prepared fava beans with olive oil. But what they do have, and the quality of it, more than makes up for a few of these items that I buy elsewhere.

West Town Village Market is a market with a somewhat unique and hodgepodge selection of goods…read moreincluding numerous fruit nectars, plenty of Goya-brand hispanic products, whole spices, pitas, and curry powders. It seems more South American, Middle East and south Asian but no chinese or Japanese products. I mainly came for the random food stall in the back. There was just one man running the whole thing and the operation honestly didn't inspire a lot of confidence. There were flies around and the guy's COVID mask was on his chin instead of over his face, both seem risky when your meat is sitting out on a vertical broiler. My friend and I still got a schwarma to go though given the good reviews on yelp. We were able to walk around the small market twice before we got our food but overall it was pretty good. The chicken was well-seasoned and a little dry but there's a generous amount of garlicky hummus sauce and pickles that added the much needed moisture and acid to the wrap. Everything was well proportioned and the portion size was satisfying for only being $7. Overall I can see why people like this place, it's definitely a hidden, authentic, and tasty place to grab middle eastern food. If you're the type of person that's cool with food cart level sanitation, this place is a decent place to grab a bite.
