    Had to try this place after hearing about it online. Don't let the hidden location fool you. This is an amazing authentic restaurant with delicious kabobs and fresh salads. Everything we tried was outstanding. The spices were perfect, the meat was tender, the falafel were perfectly crisp and the lentil soup was just like the way mom used to make it. Service is friendly as you can imagine and the prices are very reasonable considering the amount of food you get. If you have not been there yet, go try it. In my opinion, this is a true hidden gem.

    Drinks, desserts, menu.

    The grape leaves were incredible. I really enjoyed everything, if anything it was too much food. Will be coming back.

    Amazing food and service Me and my wife ordered Dolma omg it was so good we didn't expect that honestly ! The service was amazing the owner was so nice and professional ! Over all everything was Great just a reminder before you go you have to call 4-5 hours in advance to place an order for the DOLMA !

    Beef and lamb Kabob entree

    Stopped by while traveling for work. Owner was very friendly. Tried the lentil soup, Urfa Kabob with baba ghanoush and pistachio tiramisu for dessert. A ton of flavor and solid portions on all items. I'll be back. Nice little seating area to sit and noticed several take out orders while being there. Highly recommend!!

    Chicken Shawarma

    First time trying this place and did not disappoint! Food is fresh and good hospitality as well. Get ambiance. I got the chicken Shawarma and will be making my way around the menu. Thank you Brandon

Came in this evening to get some dinner that wasn't a burger or pizza. It wasn't our first time and we were greeted promptly by a staff member. We talked for a moment while we looked at the menu which he told me was updated 3-4 weeks ago. Long story short, I ask if I can order some single items off the "extras" menu to put together some food since they got rid of their old platters and beef kabobs. Of course, they say yes and after a few more minutes of discussion, we put in an order and have a sear. 10 minutes later, our food is done and the staff member brings over our food. I say thank you and we head out. Once we get outside, I make the comment to my wife that the bag feels SO light. Once in the car, I hand it to her, and she agrees. We get home and open the bag (it's stapled at this point) to start unpacking - the portion sizes were ridiculous. So ridiculous in fact that I threw each container on the food scale to see how bad it actually was. Spoiler alert: inconsistent portion sizes, incredibly small for the cost, and not even what we expected to get. Photos attached - 2x 16 oz. rice orders, one 10.19 oz and the other 11.75 oz., 2x beef shawarma orders, one 4.13 oz., the other 2.68 oz., and finally, 2x chicken tawouk, one 6 oz., the other 4.37 oz. Total price, $33'ish dollars for two portions about the size of a Panda Bowl. So, I called the shop - the same person who rang us up and brought us our food picked up the call. I explained the issues and he was receptive. He apologized and asked what he could do to make it right. He also said that the portions are packaged off site (I assume at their other location) so it sounds like they just reheat precooked food vs. actually prepare it fresh. I told him that I appreciated the gesture but we wouldn't be back - the cost, the portion size, and now knowing it's essentially reheated leftovers is enough for me to drive a bit further, save a couple bucks, and have an actual meal.

We were instantly greeted and everyone was very friendly. The menu is kinda intimidating with so many options and everything having unique names. The staff said they'd help us walk through it all, which was helpful. There are literally 26 different things you can add to your order. My wife ordered a bowl and I order a pita, which they call a "sandweech" for some reason. The portions were large but it somehow got pretty pricey, even though I felt their menu was very reasonable. We each added a fountain drink and then I asked for a side of garlic, assuming it would come with a bunch of pita bread to dip. They asked if we wanted chips or pita, and we said pita. We got 1 piece of pita to share and basically a tub of garlic. It was comical and disappointing. I'm not sure if this is normal or we needed to pay for more pita. We each had half of a pita to dip in a jug of garlic. Overall, the food seemed fresh and it tasted great. The dining area was very clean and the parking was simple. Our only complaint was the side not coming with more pita. After looking at the menu from our table, I realized they could have made ours both a combo, since we ordered drinks and one side, and we could get another side as well, but they never suggested that. We'd probably come back in the future but there are a ton of pita places around town, especially locally owned options.

    "Lamb Shank, Baklava & a Side of Pure Magic"…read more If there were a Hall of Fame for Restaurants That Changed My Life, Nawal's Mediterranean Grille would be in it. I rolled in with my crew, ready to eat, and from the very first sip of Turkish coffee, I knew we were in for something special. This wasn't just coffee--it was a bold, rich, straight-from-the-gods experience, brewed right at our table. I took one sip and instantly felt smarter, more powerful, and possibly able to predict the future. It paired perfectly with the appetizers--hummus, pita, grape leaves--each bite making me question why I don't eat like this every day. Then came the lamb shank. I barely touched it, and it fell apart like it had just received life-altering news. So tender, so juicy, so perfectly seasoned that for a moment, I forgot where I was. It was that good. Meanwhile, the chicken shawarma and rice were disappearing at an alarming rate--by the time I looked up, it was almost gone. No one spoke. Just the sounds of pure joy and occasional "Oh my gosh, this is amazing." Dessert? Oh, we didn't hold back. Four cupcakes and big, glorious slabs of baklava came home with us. The kind of baklava that haunts your dreams in the best way possible--flaky, nutty, drenched in syrupy perfection. Food? Flawless. Service? Incredible. Turkish coffee? Life-changing. I'll be back, and I regret nothing.
