The food tasted like home cooking, which is the highest compliment I can give. Portions were huge, the place was spotless, and everything just felt right. We recently moved here from California and have been on a mission to find our new go-to spots. This one just shot straight to the top of the list. We're a serious foodie family, and this place delivered on every level. Can't wait to go back!

The service was a bit slow, but our server was incredibly kind and apologized for the delay by bringing us complimentary falafel plates, which we really appreciated. It was a thoughtful gesture that made the experience much better. One thing to keep in mind is that the portion sizes are quite generous, so it's easy to share dishes. The restaurant itself is fairly small, so I'd recommend making a reservation, especially during busy hours. Overall, a nice place with tasty food, generous portions, and warm hospitality

This was by far the worst shawarma I've ever had. The meat didn't resemble shawarma at all. Instead…read moreof thinly sliced, flavorful shawarma, it was served in large, dry chunks that were tough and had no authentic shawarma taste or texture. It was extremely disappointing. I also ordered Greek fries, but they gave me plain regular fries instead. There was nothing "Greek" about them. To make things worse, I tried calling the restaurant, but no one answered the phone. There was no way to get the issue resolved. The prices were not cheap, which made the experience even more frustrating. For what they charge, I expected much better quality and to actually receive what I ordered. Instead, I felt like I wasted my money. Overall, this was one of the worst food experiences I've had. I definitely won't be coming back and would not recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic shawarma or good service. Save your money and go somewhere else.

The place is just a food stall, but there is an open seating area outside. We tried the Beef Gozleme and the Super Mix Pide. Honestly, we could not tell which one was which at first because they seemed to have the same ground beef. I think the Pide also has mashed potato. But both of them were delicious -- kind of like a quesadilla, but better. Next time, I would get one chicken one and one beef one, just to mix it up. This was a great introduction to Turkish food for us.

It's a crime that Cava doesn't exist in the PNW…read more I thought that Hummus Republic looked pretty similar and decided to drop by for lunch. It was similar enough in theory. Bases, proteins, dips, toppings, and sauces- they had all the basic categories down. However, it just wasn't the same. While the bowls tasted perfectly fine, the flavors weren't exactly there. It wasn't the fresh, flavorful, piled on experience that Mediterranean food usually brings.

While you might not…read moreget an enthusiastic welcome in with huge smiles- you get a greeting in a pretty atmosphere (music was not blasting so you could have a conversation!), extremely clean and nicely set up (every single water glass I saw was crystal clean- something I rarely see now days). The people working are calm and professional. On to the food-- we had the ground chicken skewers (our fav and will order again), the lamb shank (lacking in excitement but nice cut of meat nicely cooked), hummus (pretty good), shabzi salad, and yogurt/spinach dish (zingy and good). We are never fans of the thin dry lavash at these restaurants but that is not a negative since it is traditional. It does make eating the hummus and other appetizers less appealing and we long for something less paper-like. Our water glasses were always filled, plates cleared at perfect times, and dishes came out at decent times. Negatives: sour cherry rice was the worst we've had - giant sweet cherries with a splash of rose water was not good- overly sweet and unpleasant. Dessert- Zoolbia (fried dough with syrup) Our kids ate it because it was sweet but as soon as we walked out of the restaurant they both said it was actually not good and made their tummy hurt- it looked quite old.. maybe left over from weekend. They should just say they are out if it's old. Pros: very clean, professional, good ground chicken kabobs. Overall- we will be back and know what to avoid. Looking forward to trying some other items.

First it was around 3pm, which is dead time for most restaurants. The two men could not have been nicer and my food was fresh and amazing in a clean and cool environment. Even the bathrooms were clean and nice (which is a huge element to the overall experience). Service was great too, even with two men. I order a kofta kebab plate which came with saffron rice and great pita and a small salad and a garlic sauce that would be amazing on a leather boot. I also had the walnut baklava which was about the best I've ever had. The flavors were all spot on - juicy and tender and wonderful - every bite of the whole meal. In fact I was tempted to get the whole thing again. But decided to wait until the VERY next time I'm in town.

The service was super quick and the flavor and quality of ingredients are excellent. The price is reasonable at $16.99 and the portion is generous.

Overall I recommend this place for an affordable, delicious, quick meal with no frills.
