    falafel rice & salad plate and planet chicken shawarma
    Terri S.

    So delicious! They load it up, super generous with our portions in my opinion, and great fresh ingredients. The worker said they make everything like it's home made, from scratch, and I can definitely tell. It tasted comforting! I love falafel, and he gave me a lot of pieces, and everything in my plate was seasoned so well. We also got their baklava, and it was crispy, airy, and super light. Most baklava that I've had, were way too sweet. But theirs is amazing and made fresh. The worker was great! He was chatting with us while making our food and he was really kind.

    This is not a regular shawarma place. This is the BEST shawarma place. They're always above and beyond with service and food. It's impossible to capture flavor in a picture but it's amazing. Pro tip: ask for garlic sauce Pro tip #2: if you like spicy sauce ask for it too (my hubby loves spicy and he's obsessed with it.

    Service was amazing and the staff was friendly. It was my first time there so I asked for recommendations and it was followed up with questions to gauge my taste, which was in point. My bowl was delicious and definitely plan to return for future luncheons.

    Falafel Pita Pocket Sandwich

    The Falafel pita pocket sandwich was really delicious. The owner was very welcoming and friendly with great service. We will definitely be back!!

We decided to eat there for freshness but it was really hot inside and it felt like the AC wasn't really working. Food we ordered was great though! Really good portion and filling. Got the lamb shank and the combo kebab plate. The chutney and Greek yogurt sauce were really good on top. I liked how they gave salad as well. It was well balanced, definitely going to come back and try other items. My friend and I were just talking and catching up but the employee didn't pay too much attention to us.

My first impression was how clean and organized the place was, especially compared to most chain grocery stores. They have a huge variety of products shipped in from different parts of the world, and I can only imagine how expensive the shipping and taxes must be for such a neighborhood grocery store. I had the opportunity to speak with the owner, Adam, and he was kind enough to show me around the store. He even educated me on the meaning of the word "Halal," which really made me think twice about where I should source my food and what goes into the products I purchase. It's nice to know that the dessert section is made in house. I had one of their desserts and it's really sweet to my tasting but it wasn't bad at all. Of course, I couldn't leave without trying their food, and WOW! It was packed with flavor! Their fries are so well-seasoned, and the texture is unlike anything I've had before. The outside is crispy without being heavily battered, while the inside has this unique dense-but-light texture. They somehow feel airy and almost melt as you chew them. I honestly couldn't stop eating them, they're addicting! And if you're a garlic person, you NEED to try their garlic sauce. I love the strong hint of garlic, it was so good and paired perfectly with the chicken shawafel wrap. I also tried their chicken shawafel wrap, and it was packed with flavor as well. The falafel is very well seasoned and it was my very first time giving it a try. It was a great first time experience, and I'm so glad I finally decided to stop by.

    First off, I haven't been here in years so I thought they still had indoor seating like how they…read moredid before. No air conditioning in there on a day where it was in the low 90's The food was okay, I thought the lamb wrap was over priced for how much they give you. Also got their chicken strips and fries as well as the baklava. I'd say overall food experience was 7/10. Wasn't that much food for how much we paid. Second, i asked for water & i believe it was the owner.. he said they don't have any. Two minutes later i ask one of the workers because i see an ice pitcher behind the counter and he said "okay no problem." As the workers filling up the water I notice the owner makes a comment saying "oh you're using the special water" as I'm standing there seeing that all happen. I paid almost $50 for a wrap, chicken strips & fries, and a baklava. Would've not given a review, but with that interaction.. for something simple as water. I had to. The lady at the register was nice and their other coworker was also friendly. That I appreciated. Other than that, unfortunately I don't see myself coming back.

I was most impressed by the interior design and atmosphere. It seems like they are updating some parts of the cafe right now but there are a lot of very nice tables with super cute decor and even a conversation pit in the corner! For food, I tried the Sultani Combo, which came with one lamb and one chicken kabob over basmati rice with some salad, pickled cabbage, and two naan on the side for $27. I liked the flavor of everything but I felt the chicken kabob and naan were a bit dry at times, so I asked for some more tzatziki sauce on the side, which they happily provided. Overall, I felt that it was somewhat pricey, but maybe that is the cost of the lamb and upkeep of the large interior. We also tried the afghani burger which had some special type of sausage (sorry can't remember), deviled egg halves, cucumber, tzatziki, and fries wrapped in a pita for $16. My sister enjoyed this dish although if we had to say something, we could have done with maybe a few more sausage pieces in it. I tried the Sip of Herat (pistachio-flavored) latte for $7 which was pretty good, the coffee flavor was strong and I did not taste the pistachio very much. We also tried the Gul-e-kabul (rose-flavored) latte for $7, both were a good coffee flavor so I would recommend this place if you are a coffee enjoyer. Overall, I would totally recommend this place as a hangout/study spot, I would like to come back to try some of the bakery items and some of the other drinks such as the mocktails.
