Such an excellent place. I'm so glad they're around. Tasty and fresh food as always, kind staff. I wish they were more in the 757. Forget any other shawarma place in the area, this is an authentic and delicious place.

We were having a Yelp event a few doors down, and I spotted this place. So you know I had to stop by. I was otw to food and still stopped to get more food!! Greedy!! Lol. The owner greeted me right away and helped me decide what I wanted. There are tables inside to dine in and they also had delivery. There weren't many people inside so there was no wait. It's setup subway style where you pick your toppings and the bowls are made in front of you. There were a good amount of choices. They have platters, bowls, salads, gyros, and more. I got a bowl with chicken and pita chips. The prices was reasonable and the portion was A ok in my book!! The ingredients seemed fresh and all the textures and different sauces made the dish pop. I enjoyed my meal. This place will definitely satisfy you with all the options. Good service and nice people. Check them out!!

I came here because they were on the Delta Skydining program and they offered me bonus points for dining within a certain time frame. I honestly would have never walked foot into this restaurant otherwise. Mainly because I have no knowledge of Mediterranean or Turkish food. I honestly had to look up the definitions of the menu prior to going to pick up my dinner. I decided that I would order a steak shish Kebab platter with babaganoush and Turkish salad with an extra steak shish Kebab. The menu says that there was a 15 minute cook time for the kebab platters so I did have to wait awhile for the food to be ready but it is nice that they cooked the food freshly. The restaurant is small and clean, nothing special but not bad either. There were about 10 tables for dine in. As I was waiting, the restaurant got busier and the once empty store had quite a few people dining in and taking out. Once my food was ready, I asked about the sauces available since they had six in-house sauces to choose from. The worker/owner? was very friendly and recommended the red hot sauce and he also gave me a side of Tzatziki sauce as well. He was definitely right about the hot sauce, it was really good. I used the hot sauce on the steak and the Tzatziki sauce on the sauced tortillas. The food didn't look as I expected it to look as it looked like the steak was wrapped in the tortillas but I think it wasn't the case as I think the steak just kind of rolled into the tortilla slice. The food was very good, the steak with the hot sauce was excellent, the rice was good, the tortillas were really good especially with the Tzatziki sauce. The Turkish salad was good fresh and wholesome with a bunch of chopped fresh vegetables and pickled cabbage. The babaganoush was good too but I thought it would be more the consistency of hummus but I think that was due to my lack of knowledge of the cuisine. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and next time I will skip the extra kebab because although I ate everything, I should probably have been fine with the platter portion and not gorge myself. I highly recommend eating here if you want fresh, healthy, good food.

Chicken Shawarma pita (I ate 1/2 before taking a pic lol)

I saw the truck for this place parked out front and my husband and I decided to go here for dinner. The food was delicious. I got a chicken Shawarma pita and I was only able to eat half of it while we were there. My husband got The beef/lamb Shawarma wrap and he really enjoyed it as well. Like I said, the portions were massive it was a little on the expensive side but because the portions were so good I don't think it's a big deal. The people inside were super nice and I would definitely go back.

This place is legit! GREAT customer service and the food is deeeelishhh! The place has been open for a year but I just saw it when visiting a store near by. I walked in and the owner greeted me with the warmest welcome. He broke down the menu and talked about how in Israel Shawarma spots our plentiful and he takes great pride bringing a taste of home to the 757. I ordered a bowl with all the toppings. They weren't stinging on the portions either. The second time around, I had the chicken kebab platter. It came with well seasoned chicken, rice and 2 sides. I've had the Turkish salad, hummus, and an eggplant dish. Everything was yummmmy! Very healthy and fulfilling. They also serve pizzas which I will try next. But if you are ever in the area, please check them out.

Turkish Hatay Style Lamb&Beef Doner(Shawarma)

Hospitality. This is by far one of my favorite new places. I can't wait to bring the family back. I stopped in the other night since I didn't have my kids with me and I needed to finish up some studying before heading home. It was my first time here and they took time to explain the menu. I wish I took more pics while I was there.... Next time. In the front area you can get a quick meal to eat there or to go. However, if you have a few minutes, I'd recommend getting the Turkish Hatay. Ask about it and they'll explain it. I got the lamb/beef one along with a side of fries and garlic sauce/paste... whichever name you prefer. It was excellent. I shouldn't have eaten the whole thing, but I did. The good food and the warm fuzzies you get as soon as you walk in the door will bring us back time and time again. Definitely check them out!

A hidden gem. We were looking for Mediterranean and it took us to this place. Firstly, the service is more than excellent. The cashier/server is so knowledgeable of what they were offering and was so attentive and very helpful in me choosing what I want. The place is small but clean and easy to maneuver & easy on the eyes too. Now, their food taste so good, full of herbs and each ingredients are fresh, well mixed & are distinctly palatable. The burst of flavor is very pleasing. I also like their warm bread. They also have desserts like baklava. I thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would visit this very tasteful place again.

Great service and excellent food! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We ordered the lamb platter, which came with saffron rice and 2 sides. I picked the Tzatziki and the hummus for my sides. The naan was very flavorful, which I believe had some kind of red pepper sauce. The lamb was tender and full of flavor. They gave generous portions, which was very delicious and well worth the price! I love this place because the food is excellent but at a fair and reasonable price! Will definitely be back because the trip is worth it!

NoraLynn A.

The food is delicious. Amazing customer service. The restaurant is very clean. I recommend this place to anyone.

There was a shwarma at one point  Delicious!
Daniel A.

Ordered a Shwarma with the lamb and beef and an assortment of toppings recommended by the man helping me. As you can tell by the picture, it was absolutely amazing. If I didn't live so far, I'd probably come here way more than I should lol. Delicious food, come and eat!

Chicken shawarma pita
Damien J.

Sophia and I headed to Chesapeake to try out this little spot which opened less than a year ago. It's right near my old job so the path was not hard to find at all. Being first-timers, would it be a yay or a nay? We were immediately greeted by the staff at the counter where you order. Both of us ordered a chicken shawarma pita which consisted of rice, hummus, onions, Turkish salad, pickles and Gariic sauce. Sophia had hers with slightly different ingredients and a side of fries which we both shared. Very good stuff. They gave us a good amount of chicken which was well seasoned. And you can't go wrong with veggies to compliment the protein. The fries were pretty hot and seasoned too. The next time I head back, I'll definitely order a side. I can say we found a new place to repeat. Great service by the staff, friendly vibes and great food. We definitely couldn't ask for more. Till next time :)

Baklava! You can taste the freshness
Shay J.

I haven't even tasted the food yet and I already know I am going to like it here. The customer service is TOP NOTCH! They are soooooo nice and helpful. I said I wanted a hummus wrap--all vegan. They crafted me a sandwich specific to my needs. Sadly, in this day and age, you don't get quality customer anymore. This place is the exception. They took the the time to make sure my meatless wrap had everything I wanted. That meant a lot to me. And that hummus wrap that I had not tasted in the previous paragraph--WOW! Homemade hummus, onion sumac, fresh veggies and tahini and garlic sauce took this from just a wrap to a MASTERPIECE. My husband had the lamb wrap and his first bite he said, "Oh this is FRESH lamb!" We also had the hummus appetizer, compliments of the owners--and they deep fry the pita bread. It has a crunch to it that makes it impossible to eat just one. We rounded out our meal with stuffed grape leaves (that were NOT OVERSTUFFED with just rice) and flavorful baklava. This TURKISH meal was absolute perfection (notice I didn't say Greek. Contrary to popular belief, hummus, shawarma, falafel, etc. are TURKISH in origin). This place will definitely see me at least 1-2x a week moving forward. Yes, it is THAT good!

I probably wouldn't have tried CAVA if not for feeling that I wasn't eating enough healthy food…read morerecently. I normally don't go for these types of places as I usually don't get filled up enough due to stingy portion sizes. That is not the case with CAVA, I ordered online since there was one 4 minutes away from my hotel and I didn't need to get stuck in going home traffic in the area. I ordered online through the Yelp link and kind of tried out the online ordering system with less than high hopes that I would get what I wanted. I was surprised that it was easy to order what I wanted and the resulting bowl was pretty heavy in portion size. It is also full of flavor as well. I go for the half chicken/roasted vegetables with half greens/grain. I really enjoy the black bean grains as it adds to the texture of the meal. The chicken is good and the dips and sauces are all really tasty. The store itself is so so. It looks like any make your own pizza, salad, bowl place with a slow down with customers choosing their ingredients. The floor was a little sticky as I think someone may have dropped a drink as there was a drink bar near the take out order areas. I usually order at my hotel and it's ready within a few minutes of my arrival so about ten minutes from online order to in my hands. I have been here twice and both times, there were a lot of customers so I believe they are very popular. This meal really fills me up and I feel good after eating my meals here. Overall, I enjoy taking out from CAVA a lot and I appreciate the food prep personnel as they do a good job.

Came in to grab something to eat. I was the only one in line, one of the woman employees made eye…read morecontact with me but said nothing. No welcome, no what can I do for you? Nothing. I had to initiate a conversation with her and ask if she was ready. Because another employee was talking to her about something. Then when I ask her if she's ready, she reply's with, yes... like she was waiting on me. The service right off the bat was terrible. And I have to say the pita that I ordered was good, flavor was there, but $18? Way overpriced. If you get anything I would definitely consider a bowl, more worth the money.

I stopped by to pick up dinner for me and my boyfriend. We ordered a medium cheese pizza, large…read morefries, and garlic knots. I don't think the pizza was the best I've had, but overall thought it was solid! The garlic knots were way bigger than I expected, but unfortunately they weren't quite to my taste, not really garlicky enough and a little too crispy for me. It seemed like a nice mom and pop shop. The owner was kind and welcoming :) I would return to try other items on their menu, but would skip the garlic knots next time. He did mention that they're closing in a month though :( So if you're in the area, go out and support while you still can!

Sunday afternoon, headed to an ODU game we figured we'd try someplace we'd not usually go…read more The food was ok. Not the greatest Gyro I've ever had, but not the worst either. The tzatziki was also ok. We also got a baklava sampler, probably the best thing we got this day. The service was good and service was quick. I chatted with the owner who is originally from Egypt. We chatted about his terrible timing in opening restraints, as he opened this establishment just before COVID, and in Egypt he opened a restaurant just before the 2011 revolution. He also took a few minutes to tell me about the giant picture of Alexandria, Egypt... not Virginia. We chuckled that the traffic could be equally bad at both. This is a pretty big take out place, and the neighborhood could go either way. I'd try their shawarma or falafel, but pass on the gyro.
