Definitely recommend if you're on the area or just visiting.

The restaurant is basically fast casual, not a lot of atmosphere, but if you eat in, they will serve you on real plates. The staff was quite busy the night we were there with carry-out orders, but we still got good service. The portions are huge! We got one appetizer and two entrees, and we ended up with leftovers to take home. I was attracted by the blend of Greek and Indian food. Good falafel, ok samosas, good paneer. We were a bit disappointed by the bread, which was advertised as naan and pita, but seemed to be something in between. Overall, we would return. Lots of vegetarian options.

It's nestled in a shopping center and the you wouldn't think food is served here since it merely appears to be a grocery store from the outside. I called in the order and the friendly gentleman that took my order told me it would be ready in 20 minutes. I saw on Yelp it was exactly 20 minutes away so what perfect timing. As soon as I arrived our food was ready. There is no seating area so we had to eat in our car before we went back on the road. Everything from the rice to the perfectly seasoned kebabs exceeded our expectations. I already have this place bookmarked for our next trip up to Nova, and will have to try the chicken shwarmas next!

This was our first time eating at this place, but apparently it was recently voted the #1 new restaurant in DC and the prices are incredibly affordable for a place that provides fresh, healthy, and vegetarian options for the family! They also partner with the World Food Programme which is definitely something I can get behind. Today we tried the chicken shawarma box which at the time of this review is $15 and comes with a wrap cut into four pieces, fries and one dipping sauce. All of their sauces look delicious but we got the garlic mayo which was a perfect accompaniment to the wrap and fries. My son barely left us any fries by the time we drove home and is typically my picky eater so that's saying a lot! The wrap comes beautifully stuffed with shaved chicken, sauce, seasoning and a few pickles (next time I'm asking for double!) - which was perfectly paired with the crispy za'atar fries that I may or may not have shoved inside my wrap. Great find and glad this restaurant is branching out from DC proper.

We had ordered their falafel rice/salad bowls to be catered for our event a couple of weeks ago…read more A COMPLETE DISASTER FROM START. The rice was a mix of uncooked and cooked, as if seems it might have been added as a 'last minute' item. They kept the rice way in the bottom of the bowl, thinking it might not get noticed. Top fo it, their delivery was done too late in the night, by then most of our guests had left without eating the bowl, total waste of money for us. Have attached a few photos for review, no we do not recommend this place at all.

He gave detailed explanation about the dishes that made it taste even better. And the flavors were on point--from the refreshing sourness of the shafuta to the crisp fatoosh salad to the veggie marboka (so good slathered with the green chilis!) to the lamb fasha with fresh hot bread. Flavor and texture combos you won't find elsewhere! And of course we tried the spiced Yemeni coffee. When I mentioned it was my sister's birthday, he brought out a delicious, complementary piece of semolina cake with a honey syrup and two cups of shai So good, and even better with a little shai poured on top! From a cost perspective, you get large portions for a fair price, so be adventurous. Come for the food, stay for the hospitality. This is not an in-and-out-spot: it's a time to linger and enjoy. This place has to be next on your list of places to try.

The menu has a lot of options, so I guided my choice by photos in reviews. I ended up going with the kofta lamb, which was served with rice, a side salad, and grilled onions and peppers. Overall, it was delicious. I loved that everything tasted fresh and homemade. The prices were a tad bit elevated (entrees average $25-30), especially for Fredericksburg, but I'm glad I tried it. Overall, the ambiance was welcoming and authentic.

Although there isn't ample sitting inside the restaurant, it's more of a grab and go kind of establishment, there are 3-4 tables along the side you can sit if in a pinch. For the busy moms looking for a bite while strolling through old town, the mockingbird stroller (which is so wide for a single stroller) fits through the door and the narrow walk up to the ordering counter. I wouldn't park the stroller inside if you intend to dine in though as it'll block the path for other patrons. Overall, good food and warm service ! The best part? We got a free shawarma box because it was Mother's Day and my kid was so stinking cute smiling at the staff!

The restaurant is clean, a full bar, plenty of seatings indoors and out. There were 8 items ordered: 1) Greek Salad 2) Roasted Garlic Butter Wings 3) Taco Pizza 4) Soujouk 5) Musaka 6) Fried Mushrooms 7) Hummus 8) Mushroom Swiss Burger. All the appetizers were delicious individually but as you make your own mini charcuterie as I did. I took a piece of the naan bread, stack it with the hummus, musaka and topped with a half piece of soujouk. The combination of each element made this custom bite simply fantastic. The roasted garlic butter wings were crispy, tender but didn't taste of the garlic only butter. They were still good. The fried mushrooms were on point that were served with a dipping sauce. I really wanted the taco pizza to be awesome but it was lacking flavor. All of the toppings were generous portion, had a nice under carriage but just missing that one component. Alexa the server was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing. I would make another visit to try other items on their menu.
