We started with the Zait and Zatar bread, which came out warm, soft, and really flavorful. Easily one of the highlights. The beef shawerma Arabi style was tender with a nice char, and the fries inside added a great texture. The chicken shawerma plate with all the works was just as solid, juicy, well seasoned, and paired with fresh sides that made it feel like a complete meal. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Definitely a spot we would come back to.

We were greeted warmly by Hashem and immediately water was brought out. Hashem gave us his recommendations of the two most popular dishes: the mixed grill and the seafood mixed grill. The food was fantastic. However, the complementary humus, baba ghanouj, and pita bread made finishing dinner tough. All in all, the combination of delicious food and a friendly server in Hashem made for a wonderful first time experience. We will definitely be back.

I especially want to recognize Hashem, a great young man who works as a host and also takes orders. He is such a kind and genuine gentleman -- always smiling, respectful, and incredibly accommodating to customers. Hashem goes above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable and valued. His positive attitude and professionalism really stand out and make the dining experience even more enjoyable. It's rare to see someone so dedicated and naturally kind. He is truly an asset to the restaurant. Highly recommend Desert Moon, and if you get the chance, you'll be lucky to be helped by Hashem!

It wasn't quite as good as I expected from the reviews, but it's decent for the amount of food you get and that rice! Premium Mixed Grill Plate -- 3/5 I liked the chicken the best out of the three. The beef kebab just tasted like regular ground beef to me and the lamb was overdone, which was a bummer. But the rice? Amazing. It was so fluffy and flowery. I would come back just for that rice. Shawarma Loaded Fries -- 2/5 I probably should have skipped these and just gotten another plate. It was kind of a sticky mess and the combo just didn't really work. You get a great portion of beef shawarma, but the raw onion, shredded cheese, and pickle slices felt like a really unusual combination. I usually love pickles in my Mediterranean food, but this just wasn't it for me.

Our server was super friendly and they were able to get us a table pretty quickly even though it was a busy Saturday evening and we hadn't made a reservation.
