The veggies were pickled perfectly, adding just the right tang, and the sauce was absolutely mouthwatering. I also tried the baba ghanoush. It wasn't quite my personal favorite, but the hummus was excellent. I added a pinch of salt to suit my taste, and you can tell everything is made fresh. What really sealed it for me was the service. The one time I went in to pick up my order, the owner was behind the counter preparing food and was genuinely warm and kind. That level of hospitality makes a difference. This has easily become one of my top five go to spots when I want something quick and delicious.

The meat is tender and I like that it's chopped to small bites. It makes it easy to mix everything up. I always get extra white sauce too. The pita sandwiches are filled generously as well. Their menu is quite large with an interesting variety of foods. I've only ever ordered on Door Dash and have never had any issues. They're also on GrubHub and UberEats.

They have an interesting menu and I had a tough time deciding what to get and asked the guy working behind the counter what he suggested and he said their shawarma wrap, which I ordered, with chicken.

Sweet, tangy, savory -- no weak notes. The move, though? Add chicken and bacon.

The staff creates a genuinely welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel less like a customer and more like family. This is how shawarma should hit.

I always get the philli cheese and it is awesome, but today my friend and I wanted to try the chicken shawarma and gyro wrap. Both were delicious, but I did ask for some tzatziki sauce to dip the chicken shawarma wrap. I ended this visit with some baklava and I loved it.

We started by sharing a hot Mezze platter that included falafel, beef kibbeh, cheese rolls, brussel sprouts, and house-made pickles. For the our main course I had the beef shawarma wrap and my friend had the chicken shawarma wrap. Both were delicious as were the Za'atar fries. The wraps are large enough that we were each able to bring home a half of our wraps and fries. We learned on our visit that Natalie's has a new owner. We had selected Natalie's because they "believe in building and strengthening communities by creating spaces where people of all abilities can thrive and grow in the workplace."

But the portions were huge, and liked the spicy rice Recommendations: will have to try the chicken next time since that seems to be more popular Affordability: unfortunately uber eats is double the price but without delivery, it was like $15 for a massive portion Ambiance: n/a delivery reviews Service: plus stars for friendly delivery service Good for: casual eats

If they aren't part of the decor, it was a treat nonetheless. We stepped inside from the rain with a parking spot very near the door. I snapped a pic on the way in to capture it's essence. We risked another walk-in with no reservations, and we snagged two prime end seats on the communal table. There were two open seats at the bar as well; might come in handy some other rainy Thursday night. The server, Murphy M., judging by the receipt, who helped my partner and I with our order, was a gracious host and incredibly well-practiced. It was a master class in serving, made effortless by him. He could not have been more accommodating, as we saw him appear inevitably at the exact right moments. Our server offered us bread and oil before the appetizer. The bread here is made fresh daily. It was so soft, I could not tell the difference from store bought. The food was exquisitely well prepared, the chefs and kitchen staff are immensely skilled. The appetizer was presented to us within a relatively short amount of time. We had time for a short discussion before the it arrived. The Tiropita was described as "four pieces of heaven." Accurate. The phyllo was thin and crisp, and the feta was creamy and delicious. I was careful not to bite too hard and ruin my pants. I had the Kotopoulo, which is a feta-brined oven-baked chicken with lemon and herbs served with lemon potatoes. The dish was cooked to perfection. The cooked potatoes were exactly as I like them, soft yet held their shape. It was an excellent meal, if a bit unwieldy (it's like half a rotisserie chicken, basically). My partner had the Hilopites, an egg noodle dish with giant beans, pine nuts, kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, and feta, in a creamy, savory sauce that I couldn't begin to describe with mere words. The meals were both stunning, made unclear by my disastrous photography. All that being said, I did not really enjoy my meal as I was expecting. Maybe it's me, maybe it's today, or maybe the flavors simply weren't what I am accustomed to with the dozens of Greek restaurants from my past. I'm uncertain, and that's okay sometimes. Either way, it was a fantastic experience, and I will dine here again.
