The meat lacked flavor. The hummus was THE WORST hummus I have ever had - the olive oil drizzled on top had an awful taste and the hummus itself had no flavor. The best thing about this place is that the pita is hot. Save your money and go somewhere else. The staff seemed uninterested and were slow. The drink machine was off and needed to be turned on (they had already been open an hour and this had yet to be done)

The chef flatly refused to make a sausage pizza for the special, telling me I could only choose between pepperoni or Meat Lovers.

We were greeted by a helpful employee and the owner. They helped us decide what to order. We ordered the grilled chicken platter with a side of falafel. We made the mistake of not expressing that this meal was to-go. Another customer walked in after we ordered, placed his order (a wrap) and got his meal on a tray within 5 minutes. He ate in the restaurant and by the time he ate and left, our food still wasn't ready. It was only us and the customer that came in after us and ordered a wrap, so it wasn't busy. When we did get the food, it was tasty, hot, and tasted fresh. The food and the service was good, just express if you want to-go upfront and if you're eating in, prepare for the possibility of a wait. Update: We last went here a couple of months ago. We passed by on 6/22/25 and they are now permanently closed. Hate to see that! Hopefully they will be able to reopen at another location.

If you get a bowl its kinda Subway style so you just choose your toppings and you can watch it be made. The owner is really nice, she is always friendly when I come in. I got egg plant, cucumber, chicken , onions, sauces, and etc. At first I was disappointed at the amount of what she was scooping, but in the end it was a good amount and was filling. The bowl was tasty and I really enjoyed the eggplant. The garlic sauce and hummus was good as well. I'd definitely return. Check them out!!

Shawarma to die for!…read more I've had many delicious shawarma sandwiches across the states and this one stands out BIG TIME! Super juicy and jam packed with flavor. Accompanied the sandwich with some hummus, falafel, and fries. On top of the wonderful food, the staff were extremely kind and attentive. If I still lived in the 757 I'd be back here as often as possible!

The lamb shawarma was tender, but it lacked flavor. The toppings-to-meat ratio was acceptable. I'm most disappointed about the lack of flavor for the price...I have had shawarma all over the planet during my travels and understand the differences in style. I might consider trying them again because I really wanted to love it. After all, it's one of my favorite meals.

The decor is lovely, and feels very open, and welcoming. The manager, and staff are also very friendly, and welcoming. The service is great.

It's a perfect little corner store, and if you need something to eat? They always have something bomb in there. Literally I just had a sausage egg and cheese?

You can come here and get it.

You're greeted at the entrance with a doorway strewned with greeneries and faux flowers that give you a serene and welcoming vibe. The walls had the warm wood grooved panels which give a rich vibe. And not to mention the plush velvety cushiony chairs! The music was playing, I found out it's a dance remix by DJ Slob - if you're into international dance music, Charlie's is the place to listen to hip dance tunes. Food is definitely 5 stars. One telling sign is that when I came in, they were busy packing a large lunch catering order. The gentleman even said he ordered for his office and that he wanted his office mates to try the food...good food just flows as word of mouth. I ordered the Moroccan cigars (ground beef wrapped in egg roll) which was large single serving enough for lunch for sure. It was delicious, the two sauces were great condiments. Everything on their menu sounded delicious, I will definitely come back to try the Shakshouka and the platters. Service was a 5 - oh it can easily be a 10! Cold water is served in a self-serve bottle/carafe. I asked whether they have desserts and Yugev said yes. He then came out with (on the house, don't be jealous now lol) their version of strawberry shortcake. Remember no dairy and yet it was absolutely delicious. I could have licked the jar clean! I met the wonderful, friendly, very personable owner Yugev. He talks about his restaurant with that passion of a business owner who wants to do well for the community as well - he has transformed the back patio into a nice dining area with a bar area soon to be fully serving and functional. What an absolutely perfect experience. Believe the reviews, come to try Charlie's Middle Eastern Cuisine!
