    Chicken Shawarma Sandwich
    Justin J.

    Stopped by with the kids. We started with the hummus which was fairly typical, and the fried chicken banah which was really good. Thin chicken cutlets seasoned and fried, a spice blend I've never had in fried chicken before and I liked. I had the shawarma combo which was very filling and tasty, a nice portion size. My kids had the shish kabob sandwich and the chicken shawarma sandwich, both with fries, and liked them. Service was attentive and friendly, food was fast. Inside is pleasant. Only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the price, I walked out the door feeling a bit lighter in the pockets than I have at comparable places in the area. J.Ja

    Awesome! I wish this place hadn't evaded me for so long. If you're a West Ashley local, it's definitely worth checking out if you're in search for Mediterranean and Lebanese flavor in a cozy atmosphere. Loooved my shish kofta, something I've missed from a restaurant in my home town. The warm pita and smooth hummus were in authentic Mediterranean fashion. I'd come back just for that alone! Our waiter was very attentive and friendly, happy to see us come in. I'd be happy to come back as well. Put this on your list and check it out!

    Service was fast. The chicken shawarma was fabulous (get it spicy!). The fattoush salad was packed with fresh veggies. It was quiet and clean, not too many people there for lunch.

    If you're looking for Mediterranean or Lebanese food this is your place in West Ashley. We tried the hummus served with fresh pitas, garlic (paste) & stuffed grape leaves for appetizers. Dinner we chose a Fattoush salad, Jumbo Shrimp, Falafel Sandwich, & Lamb Swarma Sandwich. For dessert we tried rice pudding & baklava. Everything was delicious & service was great. Definitely will be back. The restaurant is currently in renovation mode but we were able to come in & relax.

    Stopped at this place while driving through the area and it was the best choice. Amazing service, absolutely delicious food, and very clean and kept facility. Prices are very reasonable. Would highly recommend the shish kofta sandwich and the baklava.

    I've never had fried chicken banah so I decided to try it for my appetizer - delicious! It was crispy outside and so tender inside. I'll definitely be getting it again. I love lamb chops so I thought that would be a perfect first entree at this restaurant. The portion size was perfect with my side of grilled vegetables & pita. I wish I'd gotten photos because everything was lovely. Great service and I'm looking forward to coming back! Next time I'll get pics, too.

    We stopped in for lunch and I am so glad we did. We started with the pita with a side of garlic sauce. It had just the right amount of lemon. I could have eaten it with a spoon; it was so good. We got the chicken shawarma; it was so tasty. we also tried the chicken cream chop. That was fantastic. We tried the french fries too. They were double fried, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. So good, try dipping them in the garlic sauce, yum. The service was wonderful, and the food was delicious. I cannot wait to go back.

    I thought I would try it out. Got to say some of the best hummus and dolma I have ever had. Meat wrap was good. Baklava was top tier, it had the best chew. Each layer of pastry with the perfect amount of honey.

    Mixed Kofta and Falafel Platter

    A refreshing menu with some great options to choose from. Give me a dozen of the beef kofta! Wife who is vegetarian really enjoyed the falafel platter. Service was great and all the new remodeling creates a nice atmosphere.

    Food was not good at all. Both chicken and beef kebabs were very dry and barely edible. Baba ghanoush and pita were alright.

    I stopped in here on a very busy weekend in downtown Charleston. The atmosphere was quiet and…read morerelaxing and I nice respite away from King St. This appears to be a family owned business and everyone was so nice and attentive. They were very helpful with my questions concerning my gluten allergy. They were able to confirm what was gluten free but it is also clearly marked on the menu. The food was fresh and amazing. The hummus is homemade. I had chicken Lula and it was really well seasoned and some of the best I've ever tasted. The only downside was the price. It was quite pricy for a lunch but with that being said, I would still return for more of their food. I just wish I could have tried more of it.

    The absolute best falafels I have ever had in my life! I love falafel and have have them frequently…read morein restaurants ranging from fine to casual dining. What really separates these falafels is the robust range of spices and complex flavor into the traditional falafel, texture and flavors. The falafel appetizer platter came with four pieces and they were basically gone as soon as they arrived to the table as our entire family ate immediately. Including our pickiest eating family member, who enjoyed theirs too! Exceptional! The halloumi is fantastic and cooked perfectly. It had a nice seasoning on top of it which differentiated it from others I have had before. Everyone at our table enjoyed it. It came with four pieces. The grape leaves were a delight. They had a more robust complex flavor palette than Greek style grape leaves. They were served warm, however they were not dried out like sometimes grape leaves are when they're brought to a table warm. These were beautifully seasoned and had nice moisture to them. The size of each was about that of a ring finger. I can not remember hot many pieces were on the plate but it was more than 4. We ordered the chefs hummus with the pine nuts and pomegranate seeds. It was delicious and a great texture. Pretty much par for the course. My entrée was the Mujadra lentil and rice dish. The flavors were absolutely phenomenal. At first, I was thinking about getting the lentil soup for lunch, but then decided to try under the vegetarian section of the menu the lentil plate. The lentils and rice were placed in a circle mold on the plate. With pretty pieces of salad coming out from four different places. There were pine nuts, chopped, and placed a top of the rice and lentils. Everyone at the table tried my dish and even though we all four have very different favorite flavors and foods everyone agreed it tasted phenomenal and was absolutely delicious. Another family member ordered the lentil soup. They really enjoyed that and they also took some rice off of their spouse's plate and put it in the lentil soup which was a nice pairing. Spouse had the beef kebab cooked, medium rare. The temperature on the kebab for cooking was absolutely perfect! The texture pinkness, and overall cooking was beautifully done to a true medium rare. He had french fries as his side those were just as perfectly cooked as everything else that came out of the kitchen of this restaurant. They were nice and crisp with a good flavor. Three of our four family members tried and agreed they were very nicely done fries crispy all around and not floppy soft. Another family member ordered the Shish Tawook. They were completely in love and smitten with the garlic sauce that came with it. It is divine and tastes beautiful on the chicken. Rice was beautifully cooked as well. The accompaniments of lettuce, pita and oil was delicious. Dessert was baklava. Like every other part of the meal, we had it had a really nice blend of spices and flavor to it. We got it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. All of the desserts on the menu are made in house. One of our family members doesn't tend to like homemade ice cream however she liked this ice cream because she thought the texture was really brilliant for it being made in house at a restaurant. The baklava comes with three pieces. I would love for them to open a restaurant near where we live. If we lived here we would come in 2-3 times a week. Near the end of our meal, we heard some of the restaurant team speaking with another table of regulars. We overheard that they were short staffed that day as someone had called in. We never absolutely would not have guessed that. They seamlessly checked on our table, brought everything out in a timely manner, and none of the plates were hot like they had been sitting at expo waiting to come out to the table for a while. It was wonderful hospitality, with great care and checking in. Our server was a sweet and attentive person. Simply removing plates as we finished and refilling drinks. No one at our table was in want or need of anything as he kept it all well filled. I think the biggest compliment I can give is one family member always has room for dessert. They loved their meal in the appetizer so much they could not have any dessert. Which coming from them a huge dessert person is quite the praise.
