I thought the meat and seasoning was pretty good and on par with a lot of places. The thing that stood out to me were their portion sizes - there are massive!

Solid halal plate spot that is super affordable and generous portions. Entrees: Combo Mix Platter Sides: Cheese Fries and Fried Mac and Cheese Bites

Ventured out for a change of scenery and decided to try Ivy by the Lake. We arrived around 8:30 PM,…read moreand the ambiance was really nice-- really cute spot with good music. We ordered the hummus and pita, which were excellent. The hummus was incredibly creamy and smooth--one of two the most memorable I've had--and the pita was full of flavor and extremely soft. I ordered the Chapli Kabab Burger, which was just okay for me. It comes with two patties, making it a bit too heavy, and while it had some spice, it lacked depth of flavor and had more jam than I preferred. The Brussels sprouts were heaven sent, and the hookah was very smooth. Service was good--nothing standout, but nothing negative either. A DJ came on later in the night, which added to the atmosphere and made it lively and allowing us to talk comfortably. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I'd definitely go back.

I am a flavor fanatic and need things to be flavor packed and generally in the past, I've had many shawarmas lacking seasoning, toppings, or sauces. HOWEVER, the chicken shawarma here is nicely seasoned with plenty of toppings, sauces, and extra toum/garlic sauce on the side. I never get fries, but even their fries are well seasoned and tasty even when dipped in the garlic sauce! Affordable, filling, big portion, quick service, authentic, well seasoned, and good ingredients- what more can you ask? I'm glad I gave this place a try and will definitely come back when in the area!

Little gem hidden in Sterling a few mins off of route 28. The place has a few tables but it's more…read moreof a grab and go. The menu has a variety of items such as burritos, wraps, and rice platter but the focus of every item is either the chicken shawarma, beef shawarma or falafel. You really can't go wrong with any of their protein options because everything is freshly prepared and offers generous portions. We got the beef wrap which is really a mix of beef and lamb which is exactly what I wanted. It should be noted that the wrap is cut into 7-8 pieces rather than one long wrap is interesting because it makes it harder to eat. Everytbing basically falls apart after the first bite of each piece. I'd recommend getting the full wrap but not cut. It was packed with flavor and fillings so it more than made up for it. Do yourself a favor and get the spicy version. It's not crazy spicy and gives the entree another depth of flavor. I'll definitely be back again to try the other options.

Parking right outside (at least for 30 minutes) is a nice bonus and makes the visit easy…read more What stands out most about Big Buns is the pride they clearly put into both the food and the drinks. You can tell there's intention behind what they serve. I had the Hot & Hefe burger, and it delivered--great texture, well-balanced toppings, and definitely some heat. I ordered it medium well, but next time I'll go for medium to get a bit more juiciness. The truffle fries were decent, nothing standout, but the chicken sandwich was impressive--huge, flavorful, and loaded with good toppings. A fun touch: they actually serve your food to the table with a robot, which adds a bit of novelty to the experience. I also want to highlight the ginger pear drink--fresh, nicely blended, and refreshing. The ambiance sits somewhere between fast food and casual dining--hard to define exactly, but it works. Pricing is mid-range, and overall, it feels like good value for what you get. I'll definitely be back.

It came with tandoori chicken (Indian style dish) with Onion, jalapeños, and banana peppers. Food was pretty good. I will say a bit overpriced. However it fed 2-3 people. Still had leftovers in the end. Will probably order another kind of pizza eventually. I'd like to try something else on the menu. I liked that there was sufficient protein on the pizza, and was kind of springy taste, also somewhat spicy. I'll give it a pass.

I'm a local customer and live just a minute away, so I've visited more than once. I came in for lunch today with my wife and our 1.5-year-old son. After placing our order and sitting down, the server loudly yelled from behind the counter for us to come get our water. It felt uncomfortable and unprofessional, especially with a young child. When I placed my order, I asked for extra white sauce, and I asked again when the food came out. Both times, the request was ignored. I also mentioned that we hadn't received our drinks, but instead of addressing it, the server again yelled for us to get the drinks ourselves from the cooler. The food itself was okay, but the bread was very poor--hard and barely edible. I even called the restaurant later in the evening to share my concerns, but was told the server was off at that time. Overall, very disappointing experience, mainly due to the customer service. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and leads to improvement.
