    I've been coming to this place on and off for 5-6 years, and it used to be really good. Clearly something has changed--new management or ownership--because the quality has dropped badly. On 3/29, my wife and I ordered a chicken shawarma platter and a beef kebab plate. Her chicken was great. My kebab, however, was completely inedible--full of fat, gristle, and tendon, and so tough I couldn't chew it. I called, and to their credit, the staff member was polite and offered to replace the meal. I came back on 3/30 to pick up the same order... and it was just as bad. Same tough, low-quality meat. I couldn't get through a single bite. At that point, it's not a one-off mistake--it's the product they're serving. Customer service was good, but the food quality is unacceptable. I won't be coming back.

    The owner Mike and cook Noura are super nice always having the best Middle East cuisine.. I enjoyed their lunch specials and great prices. Highly recommend them.. the Vakalava amazing

    Me and my pals love this place

    This place is the absolute best!!! I come here all the time when I want a well portioned healthy meal. Mike and Noura are also very pleasant employees.

    First time trying this place and it was so delicious. Service was outstanding and the flavors of each dish were so good. We got the chicken kebab plate and beef lefts kebab. Both were 10/10 and the pita bread was perfect. Garlic spread was on point as well. Will definitely be returning
