    *Tandoori Press Shawarma 11"
    Anjali T.

    Local "shawarma" spot and I put the quotations because it doesn't satisfy that craving that think have when you think about a proper spot. Came in to try it out for lunch, it's a sit down or takeout spot. Looked for my go to options but, nothing was really speaking to me other than the tandoori chicken shawarma wrap so I tried it. My biggest pet peeve is when you give me something that I could have made easily and better at home and that's exactly what I got. A very anemic looking, overly spicy was that was severely overpriced. For the same amount I paid for this, I can get a lot more food elsewhere. Service was quick but, I was far from satisfied or excited. Provided all angles of my skinny wrap.

    I tried the beef shawarma, fries, and shanina. The beef in the shawarma had good seasoning, but it was dry and had more of a liver-like taste than beef. The fries were okay, though there wasn't much of it in the bag. I didn't enjoy the shanina--it had a strong, pungent flavor that didn't appeal to me. The customer service was decent, and the restaurant was clean, though there was an unpleasant vinegar-like smell in the air.

    *Falafel Wrap 11"
    Amanda L.

    So good! Ordered the Arabic Style Platter with a falafel wrap. The pickles and fries are really flavorful!

    Where do I start, The customer service or the food. Or the DMV SPEAKER that announces the customer orders. Starting off the female cashier service was horrible, no greetings, very dry, or care for the customers. It was very frustrating and I felt as if maybe I was the problem until the other customers said the same thing. As a middle eastern man myself I felt ashamed to bring my American friends here to represent my culture and food. Once the food arrived I would rate it a 5/10 edible. Chicken shawarma and beef shawarma meat was dry. The garlic sauce was like mayo with garlic powder. The French fries were crispy but hallow and had an old oil taste. Really don't drag bad experiences but I hope the business owner takes the right actions to keep this middle eastern business striving. I know my middle eastern community and how welcoming we are, this place didnt represent anything about the Middle East.

    I got the tandoori chicken wrap combo and the wrap is really good! My only complaint is they don't have unsweetened tea. I got the lemonade and it is too sweet so I want to mix with unsweetened tea but unfortunately they only have sweet tea. Fries is just okay. Will order the wrap alone next time

    The food is amazing! Packed with flavors and quality. The customer service is excellent very friendly and helpful. Inside is big and spacious and seems to be pretty clean. They are quick with your order so no long waits. I will definitely keep coming here.

    Rice Bowl Special
    Robert M.

    If they allowed 1/2 stars I'd give 3.5. Just not quite enough to round up to 4.0. I had the rice bowl special with chicken / beef combo, Mediterranean / tzatziki salad, and tahini sauce. Overall the food was decent. Better than some of the one- and two-star reviews would lead one to believe. But there was an odd (to me) flavor throughout; I'm guessing I should have asked for something other than the tahini sauce. Service was fast and efficient. Ambiance was nice and clean with plenty of seating.

    Great fresh made shawarma with great flavor. Order was taken immediately and food was ready within 10 mins. It's a casual atmosphere and was not too loud. It was a great overall experience and the owner was very welcoming.

    Tandoori and the tex-mex shawarma wrap is delicious. We always take out, but dine-in is also decent for a quick wrap.

The food is phenomenal, they have a family combo for four that is perfect for a family of 4-6 people, the portions are so large we always have leftovers. Amazing baklava, hummus and baba ganoush. Good salads especially if you love sumac-based salad dressings (which I love yum). The inside of the restaurant is so beautiful with pictures of Istanbul and the traditional lanterns.

We were greeted and seated right away. Service throughout was warm and attentive, our server checked on us a few times to make sure everything was good. They started us with warm, crispy bread and a yogurt-based dip that was quite flavorful. I ordered the lamb shish kebab platter (well done), and we also tried the chicken shish kebab platter. Both came with buttery rice, a fresh salad drizzled with olive oil, and yogurt sauce. The chicken was tender and properly seasoned, but the lamb was the highlight. Lamb can easily turn dry or overly gamey if not handled right, but this was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor even when cooked well done, exactly how a good shish kebab should be. I skipped dessert this time, though they offer a few options, and I noticed what appeared to be a buffet setup, which I'm curious to try next. Overall, a solid, well executed Mediterranean meal. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

We arrived early so the restaurant was not too busy but it started to fill by the time we left. The ambience remains upscale casual with a gracious greeting as you enter. We were given one of the half moon booths that faced outward to the restaurant. I ordered the hummus as a starter and it was very good. It's a mild hummus without a strong garlic element. It was very enjoyable. The wife started with babaganoush and loved it. The dip was smoky and very flavorful. For entrees, the kid had the Caesar salad and ate everything except the croutons. The wife had the spiced meatballs and loved them. The meat was tender and the sauce was very rich. I had the chicken kabob and I was in heaven. The kabob took quite a while to prepare, but it was worth the wait. The chicken was well marinated and very flavorful. Best of all, it had a smoky flavor from the char, but the chicken remained tender and moist. It was phenomenal. I wish I could have that every night. It came with sautéed vegetables that were prepared perfectly. And it included a white rice that had a rich buttery flavor. We all enjoyed our meal very much and we were happy to return to this restaurant. I need to put it in the rotation more often.

I visited this restaraunt for the first time and genuinely enjoyed everything I ordered. Starting off with appetizers, my friend and I ordered the pan shared halloumi cheese. This is paired with tomatoes and fig jam and is a wonderful accompaniment to the complimentary bread and olives served for the table. I'm a big fan of halloumi in general but this one was particularly cooked well and a must order for next time. For main entree I ordered Hunkar Begendi, which is sautéed marinated lamb tenderloin with red and green bell peppers over creamy eggplant puree. The lamb was in fact tender and perfectly seasoned and the eggplant puree went very well with the slight gaminess of the meat. I enjoyed this dish overall and it didn't feel too heavy, which sometimes is the case when I eat lamb. The pieces of meat were cut small enough while not being super tough, which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend this restaraunt if you enjoy trying Mediterranean fusion spots!
