I ordered the grilled chicken plate with yellow rice, hummus, pita, falafel, and a side salad. The chicken was juicy and paired perfectly with the seasoned rice. The hummus was super smooth and creamy, and the pita was warm and soft. The falafel had a nice crisp outside with a flavorful center. Even the simple salad tasted fresh and balanced out the plate nicely. Overall the portion size was generous and the flavors were spot on. For carryout, the quality held up really well and everything tasted fresh. I'll definitely be back when I'm craving Mediterranean food.

This Mediterranean restaurant serves an amazing variety of dishes, including chicken shawarma,…read moregyros, kebabs, and falafel, along with classic sides like dolmas, hummus, and baba ganoush. Everything we tried was full of flavor, seasoned nicely, and tasted very fresh. The portions are huge and very generous, and the prices are quite reasonable for the amount of food you get. The chicken shawarma platter is my go-to, and the delicious pistachio baklava is a must-try for dessert. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it a comfortable place to sit down and enjoy a meal. It has a warm, casual vibe that makes you feel welcome whether you're dining in or just stopping by for a quick bite. One of the best parts of this place is the attached grocery store, which carries a wide selection of Middle Eastern products, spices, and desserts. It's really convenient to be able to grab ingredients or treats after eating. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. The only downside is that seating can sometimes be a challenge, especially during busy times. However, the food, welcoming ambiance, and overall experience more than make up for it. I really enjoyed my meal here and will definitely be coming back again.

After waiting quite a while, I hung up and called back. This time, they took my order quickly and efficiently. I hadn't been here since they were in their previous location across the street, and I was really impressed with the new dining area. It was clean, well-decorated, and had a lot of open space. The front counter staff seemed a bit awkward or shy, I couldn't quite tell, but it was fine. They let me know my order would be ready in about 10 minutes. In reality, I waited closer to 20 mins todal, but it was absolutely worth it. I ordered the chicken shawarma platter, and it did not disappoint. It came with a delicious side salad made with fresh produce, a light dressing, and generous chunks of feta cheese. The platter also included some of the best hummus I've ever had, along with pita bread for dipping, though I honestly could have used a little more bread. The main dish featured tender, well-seasoned chicken served over rice with a creamy cucumber sauce that I could not get enough of. Seriously, this stuff was dangerously addictive. I'll definitely be back, and next time I'm bringing the whole family!
