It's a spot and go spot, designed for pickup orders. If you do plan to eat in, arrange for parties of about 4. Onto the food: 1) Lamb shank with rice - recommended by anotber customer and I fully agree. The lamb is fall off the bone tender and the yellow rice pairing is fragrant but not overpowering. This shank is right up there with Bismallah Cafe in Atlanta. 2) Mombar - handmade so we got it to go but wow. Sausage skin stuffed with rice and veggies and the smell is next level. This is exactly the kind if unique, delicious experience that is half the fun of trying new places. 3) Kunafa (nuts) - the texture is crisp and egg battered. It reminds me a lot of a bakalava and was also delicious. All in all, a great find. Definitely would come here again.

It's located in a happening part of town and it was conveniently located near my hotel, so it worked out great because the closeness ended up being a coincidence.... Walking distance. The venue is big and open until 2am and they serve hookah out on the beautiful patio and indoors as well. Our waitresses name was Auquel, she was super sweet and cheerful. She made a perfect suggestion of the Chicken Shawarma plate that I absolutely loved! This place seems like it would be a hot spot to dance the night away on the weekends but we came mid-week so it was not busy at all... but for us it was perfect because we just got off a late night flight anyway.

We ordered the large mixed kebab platter and it came with salad, hummus, Baba ghanoush, garlic paste, warm pitas and olives. Terrific appetizer and a fantastic kebab platter that the 2 of us could not finish - truly enough food for 4! We took all our leftovers home and enjoyed them the next day. We also had some excellent baklava (with pistachio our favorite) and took one home. And then they gave us some tasty rice pudding too! We were beyond stuffed! We are definitely going again even if it is 50 minutes from home. Lastly, the price was very reasonable and the service was excellent. A+ experience! Highly recommended if you're looking for something different and special. Update: went for second time and it was less impressive than the first. We ordered the same platter and the Kibbeh appetizer. The Kibbeh was dry and not very flavorful unfortunately. Also the platter was not served in the same impressive way, smaller portion, and less WOW. We may give it a third try but this moved from 5 Stars to 4 on the second outing. Hope the 3rd visit is better or it may be our last as it's 50 minutes from our home.

He was very helpful which we appreciated. We ordered the chicken shawarma platter and chicken shawarma pita which were both delicious. The portions were generous and flavorful.

Looking forward to coming back again.

I've been on the go since before the sun was up today. Usually I would get the food to go - but today I just needed to sit and eat like a human instead of in the car etc I wanted a few minutes of peace and quiet before going to my chaotic home. Is there sometimes a 10 to 15 minute wait for the food - yes... I'm more than happy to wait because everything is prepared fresh in your view. I grabbed my phone and expected to watch TikTok for entertainment... Be aware! If you can't wait the 15 minutes - save this place for another day unlike a nasty woman who was loosing her mind that 15 minutes had passed and they were putting her meal together. People are wild - I wanted to say mam - do you not see these guys moving as quickly as they can? I sat and watched for a moment. Both of the guys working tried nicely and calmly to explain that they were preparing the food etc - she was literally having a temper tantrum. Thank goodness I don't work in that field as I think she would have been wearing that food. Anyway this review is long overdue! I am always happy with the food. Seeing how they handled a wacko customer made me sure these guys care very much about their business. The garlic sauce is to die for! We have never got any dish or dessert from here and not gobbled it up! Enjoy!!

The owner said that on Saturday evenings they have live music and it gets quite crowded (he recommended a reservation versus walking in).

The place is small but the menu is pretty expansive. They have sandwiches, platters, and sides. My wife and I both got falafel sandwiches and made them combos so they came with fries and a canned soda. I let the man know we didn't want any pickles on our sandwiches and (after lightly teasing us about not liking pickles since pickles are his favorite) he offered us alternatives which was very sweet. When the food was ready, they asked if I wanted ketchup for the fries and I declined. My wife was surprised that I declined as I usually go for ketchup with thicker fries (they were crinkle cut) but I told her I had a feeling it wasn't necessary. Boy was I right!! The fries were beautiful crispy, piping hot, and perfectly salted. The sandwich bread was soft, fresh, and very flavorful. The falafel was crispy, well seasoned, and also hot and fresh. Everything about the meal was exceptional. I hope they have lots of success and I will be back as soon as possible.
