    Chicken Shawarma Kabsa Rice Plate

    The rice plate was amazing and portion size was good. It was very flavorful! I ordered to-go so I didn't care for how the inside looked. The service was fast and efficient. I would definitely order again.

    Friendly family owned. They make almost everything themselves so you will feel the warmth homemade meals and services. It was a husband and wife team when we dined in so we chatted with them both during our meal. Free street parking in this section of State Street. P. Y. Provides toilet cover seats.

    We were visiting for the weekend and looking for a place to try in the area. This restaurant came recommended a few times on Reddit, and I'm so glad we gave it a shot! The place might look a bit outdated and informal, but the food was excellent and reasonably priced. The older man running the restaurant was kind, warm, greeted us with a smile, and his service was pretty quick. We ordered the beef kebab plate and the beef kabsa plate - both were generously portioned, and the flavors were spot on! Tastes just like how we remembered it when we went to Turkey. The hummus plate was also really good. I bought a baklava to go and excited to eat it! I wish more people would discover this place, you can tell the recipes are family-owned and made with care. We'll definitely stop by again the next time we're in Salem :)

    Grape leaves and falafel!

    I can't believe I hadn't been here before! The food was so delicious, the service was very kind, and a nice clean environment. Grapes leaves were incredible-- my favorite. I also had the lamb hummus plate which was so good. Will definitely come back!

    The food here always delivers the wonderful Arabic taste with their touch of perfect spices. They're very personable. Check them out sometime soon!

    Ordered a to go order and was 5 minutes away, the food was hot and ready when I got there, the inside was empty, the establishment is a little dated, but, the lady was very friendly and the food is very good! I'll be back for sure!!!!

    I work down the street and eat lunch here often. My favorites are the lentil soup, hummus plate, and falafel sandwich.

    This place has excellent Middle Eastern cuisine, and it is resonably pieced. The owners are very sweet people

    Hospitality is A+. Good for groups, lunchtime, or dinner. Try the French fries with garlic sauce!

    We took six other friends back. This time, for dinner. Again, it was awesome!…read more This time my wife and I ordered the Beef Sambosas and the Chicken Shawarma Hummus. Excellent! The Chicken Shwarma Hummus was better than the lamb we had last time. And their hummus is still the best I've ever had. Anywhere. Our friends ordered the Chicken Shawarma dinner, the Vegetable Platter, the Lamb Kebabs, the Lamb Shank and the Arab Chicken Shwarma. All voted big thumbs ups! Still five stars!

    Food is a 4/5 Service is a 1/5…read more The food is exactly what you would expect, delicious, light, and fresh tasting. Tried the lamb and chicken shawarma. Lamb felt under seasoned but that is the only complaint. Our server was dressed inappropriately, wherein skin tight leggings and a cropped shirt that said "baby mama". Very disturbing and very uncomfortable to be served by that. The restaurant was average busy during my early dinner around 4:30 maybe 4/5 tables. Appetizer came out with our drinks and not even 60 seconds later we had our entrees. Very poor pacing. Also the servers would constantly check their phones in the open behind the bar for some reason. Inside is very nice, I'm 6'5" so being seated at one of the middle tables did not leave me with enough leg room to sit comfortably. Also there are two TVs on opposite sides of the resturant so there is no escaping seeing TV in the background. Overall the taste of the food carries this restaurant and the front of the house really needs to improve.
