We ordered classic Israeli dishes, and everything tasted authentic and well prepared. Service was quick, and the staff was efficient. The place isn't fancy, but it's clean and does exactly what it's supposed to do -- good kosher food without a long wait. Prices are reasonable for the area. Overall, a solid and reliable option if you're looking for kosher food in Brookline.

On the bright side, the rice was relatively tasty, and the standout was definitely the creamy yogurt/hummus-style dip--it was incredibly rich, dense, and flavorful!

But it moves quickly, with the staff frequently shaving off shawarma from the slow-turning spits behind the counter. I opted to make my own veggie plate with falafel, hummus, and plenty of Greek salad. I typically judge Mediterranean eateries by how dry (or hopefully, not) their falafel is--the verdict here is that it's okay for the price point.

During my initial days when I was new to the neighborhood, this restaurant was recommended by my friend, and the staff was friendly and kind enough to hear me and recommended what to try for the first time. For the first timers, I highly recommend to get extra of garlic and spicy garlic sauce with fried pita. They really enhance the overall experience.

Both times here have failed me. First time around, I remember the quality was not good at all. Chewy bits of cartilege here and there. As a beleiver, I always give the benefit of a doubr for an off-night. While, I have not tried the falafel, and can't speak to the quality of that, I will say the Shawarma is not good. What I had was bitter, poor quality chicken meat, not juicy, and filled with volume over quality. It is one of the very, very few times we have tossed away the rest of my food as opposed to eating it. Truly a shame. As much as I hate food waste, I was not going to put that junk and inferior food quality into my body. I'm surprised this business still even exists.

I ordered from this restaurant multiple times, and unfortunately I had bad experiences more than…read moreonce. The first issue happened with a DoorDash order when they forgot to include the yogurt drink I paid for. I let it go at the time, but later I called to explain the issue and the employee was already angry and rude on the phone for no reason. Another time, I called because I could not find the customization option online. I politely asked if they could replace the salad with beef since I was giving my credit card information over the phone. Instead of helping me, the employee became aggressive and said I was "giving him a hard time." He then threatened to cancel my order and told me not to order from there anymore. I also heard him yelling at another customer on the phone while I was speaking with him. This was very unprofessional and uncomfortable. This is now the second time I've experienced rude behavior from the same employee. Customers deserve respect, especially when they are being polite and simply asking questions about their order. I am writing this review for the owner or manager because this employee's attitude is hurting the business. If someone cannot speak respectfully to customers, they should not be answering the phone. Very disappointing experience.

(but I'm sure the record shops were closed, if there are even any still open these days) however that may be why the food was terrible so YMMV. I should have known better seeing that they did not sell shawarma that it was going to be a disappointing experience. I ordered the mix plate - around $22 total. The gyro meat was so dry that when reheated, took on a crunchy texture. The chicken did not please. it was lacking in flavor. The rice seemed to be basic white rice, which surprised me because most mediterranean/arabic restaurants have really great tasty rice. the bread that came with the meal was pretty good, but with the other elements of the meal being subpar, it was not enjoyable at all. The selection of drinks there is basic soda that's either high in sugar or high in caffeine, I suppose thats typical since many college students live in this area. I don't think I'll return. I finished maybe half of it, and reluctantly threw the rest away (I hate wasting food but this was not even food I would give to the homeless).

Ordered: Zaatar & Cheese Flatbread (~$8)…read more Aya's take: Being Lebanese myself, I love a good manousheh (aka flatbread) and didn't expect to see a place making them here in Boston. The Zaatar & Cheese Flatbread was made fresh. The zaatar was nicely spiced and slightly sweet which I'm not used to, the cheese they use is mozzarella which isn't traditional, and the dough is super thin crust which is also not traditional. Zaatar is typically earthy, nutty, and lemony from the oregano and sumac and the cheese should've been Akawi cheese. The dough should also be slightly thicker and fluffier. It would've been nice if they did the Zaatar on one side and the Cheese on the other side. We saw the table next to us get their's that way and I wish it was offered to us like that as that's my preferred option. Nonetheless, decent try and always happy to support an Arab business!

It's a cozy spot with limited seating. It was my first time here and the person working at the front was very helpful in ordering and walking me through the menu. They have a few main options based on their proteins. I got a pita with the eggplant. It was great!!! They were very flexible in making this vegan by replacing the egg with a couple of falafels. Great food to go and it was delicious as well, the sauces were especially good. It was messy to eat but that's what makes it fun! Would definitely recommend, I hope to be back to try the vegan "chicken" as well.
