This place is like a breath of fresh air in the mundane food scene at Wilkes Barre, PA. Writing…read morethis review gives me a nostalgic joy :) Except the shabby parking spots that are tough to maneuver during winter months, they don't have any other cons. This itself says so much about the restaurant. Food is consistently good, staff (including the owner) take the time to greet the customers & make them feel comfortable and service is very quick (Less than 20 minutes) My favorites were and still are falafel and mamoul cookies. In fact, I tried mamoul for the very first time here and got instantly addicted. They're shortbread cookies (made with a special impression) filled with either dates or fig paste. Not overly sweet and made with the right consistency, I highly recommend them. Prices are fair and although they have a dine-in area, last I checked, they allow only takeout. And, their timings are suitable for lunch and early dinner, so plan accordingly.

I like to…read moreget a variety of homemade dishes, sides, dips and ingredients there, including the pita bread and some of the candies, little treats and desserts that they carry from other parts of the world. The baba ghanouj is bangin'; that's the first place I ever tried it but anything I've had since then, just doesn't cut it. The baba ghanouj is light and fresh, unlike store-bought brands that can sometimes taste metallic or bitter. Add the meat pie for a well-seasoned update on the pasty we grew up with (apparently the Cornish pasty is a protected food in the EU, like champagne or asiago, who knew).

The owner Ayub is super friendly and serves hot and yummy food every time.

Very reasonable prices and expect to wait for ~20 minutes if you go during peak lunch times. Ordering ahead is certainly recommended. Since the food truck is located in a gas station, there's not much parking spots available except for the ones at the back. So, takeout is recommended.

Since we both live in the Pacific Northwest we rubbed the Google genie for local eateries. The statement was made "What is Pennsylvania known for, Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. We looked around and after tossing out a few names decided the any restaurant with "Chessesteak factory" in the name had better be good. Finding the location was easy but parking a slight challenge. Anyway, walking in we found the typical trappings of a "greasy spoon" great smells and people running in and out with food. Long story short, my daughters first "Philly Cheesesteak" was given two thumbs up between bites. As for me, the fries were outstanding. Hot, crispy outside, moist and soft potato inside.

We had enough fried food and French fries on our vacation here and needed something real. We found this place here in Yelp and decided to give it a try. The gas station is permanently closed so pulling up to it I was a little nervous! Fortunately they have a neon sign that says open! It was a little late in the day and I was starving. Walked in and smelled the delicious aroma of Indian food! I ordered Goat biryani, chicken tikka masala, samosas, roti, naan, and rice. (Did I say I was starving?) it was about 20 minutes of a wait. The food was delicious.. so much so that we are tempted to order more on our way back home. My son loved it too. It's spicy in a good way. I got some medium and some hot. I highly recommend this place. I didn't see any issues with cleanliness.. there was someone cleaning as I was there and it looked very clean to me. The folks running the place were very nice. If you like Indian you should try it. The prices were within range of what I'm used to. About 15-18 dollars per order but it fed us for two days. They don't do American fare anymore (per an old post) which is probably a good thing. Focus on the good stuff. This will be our new regular spot when we come here.

Their food truck was parked at our school's art show and it was the perfect ending to a long day! There is zero Greek food around here so it was a real treat to get lamb gyros for dinner. Tasted exactly how you'd hope it would taste. Fresh, flavorful and good portions. The guys working were super friendly and charming and even threw in some free spicy feta dip which... was so good I ran out of pita and happened to have pita chips to use to not let any go to waste. ha. I need a tub of that. I'd replace my hummus with it forever. Anyway, high-fives all around! read more

Had the gyros and they were delish. The flavor was like what are in NYC. Fries hand cut and seasoned. Ordered Baklava but too full to eat. Service was really fast but we were early to get there. We were at Brightpath Brewery and the truck was there for the first time. I'll be back. read more

Walking in, I was greeted by a warm, welcoming staff that instantly made me feel at home. The place radiated nostalgia, with board games and collectibles that weren't just for show--they were the family's own childhood treasures. I kicked things off with an order of spud cakes, served hot and crispy, with sour cream included (nine per order). The sour cream paired perfectly. The deep-dish pizza arrived piping hot, with a crispy crust, generous cheese, flavorful sauce, and onions--filling and delicious. Their extensive menu offers plenty more to explore. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I'll definitely be back to try more. Until next time, be blessed and stay safe.
