One thing I appreciate are how fresh the pitas and wraps are here - some places use stale pitas that are too bready and it ruins the entire meal. My biggest complaint is they're so far from me - come to Cornelius

Stopped in for the first time today for dinner…read more The BBQ plate came with a skewer of beef (well done-thank you!) and a skewer of chicken. It comes on a bed of rice. The only thing I didn't like is that the cold salad was put on top of the hot food. The meat was dry but had good flavor. It was $18 The chicken gyro was very good. We would definitely return for this flavorful food! By the way the glass in front of the food was very clean so shot out to the staff!

Got their chicken sandwich with fries, lamb and shrimp skewers with rice and cauliflower. Everything tasted delicious and very flavorful. There lamb was not "gaemy" at all and very editable. You can tell they take pride in all their dishes as there were no complaints on anything. Cute little spot with seating indoors as well as patio seating. Great reasonable prices as well. By the time we left around 7pm, it was packed and there was a line waiting to be sat. Wouldn't mind coming back for lunch and trying other options.

They have a huge menu with plenty of options, and everything we tried tasted great. It's primarily a restaurant, but you can also buy packed food items which is a nice bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed the food here. They served generous portions of babaganoush and hummus -- both were delicious. They also gave us complimentary lentil soup, and it was surprisingly good. For entrees, we ordered the lamb shank, which was juicy, tender, and absolutely amazing. The adana kabab was top notch with incredible flavor. The chicken shawarma and chicken kabab could have been a bit more tender, but still enjoyable overall. They also have a large selection of desserts on the menu, so definitely save some room if you can.
