    Good selection of Jarritos

    We ordered beef shawarma wrap only, chicken shawarma w fries and pickles, and gyro platter with rice. All were solid entries in the local shawarma scene. The standout was the fragrant basmati rice scented w cinnamon. Also: the pickle game was strong at this establishment

    Chicken Shawarma

    I've had a lot of shawarma and Middle Eastern food in my life- I know the flavors very well. I had high hopes and hate to give it 3 stars, but it isn't the best flavor/food wise. Nice interior and I love supporting small businesses, but the food overall was incredibly bland and salty compared to other good spots in DC/Virginia. I've never had to drink so much water with and after my meal. We went inside and ordered carry out. We were told fries would come with the Chicken Shawarma sandwich, but we didn't receive our fries. Service was relatively quick, but the server told us the Sandwich option would come with a side of pickles, fries, etc. The Chicken Shawarma was dry and bland with not enough toum/garlic sauce provided. The bowl was majority plain rice and unseasoned salad. I expected the rice to have slivered almonds or nuts and the salad to have some herbs, spices, or sauce/dressing with it. I could've compiled a raw salad and plain rice at home. I tried a small bite of the Beef Shawarma, but I think the Chicken was better. The Falafel was maybe the best thing, but definitely not the best I've had. The Hummus was so bland and disappointing considering the positive reviews. The Hummus could've used some seasoning like spices, lemon juice, etc. I do like how they used fresh parsley, but still super disappointing for me. I wouldn't come out of my way here. It's worth a try to support this business, but there are better options in the area or in DC/Northern VA.

    Really good platters, the meat was smoky and flavorful. Good salad, sauce was good too. ( you have to ask for it) the meat can go with or without sauce. They were recommended by my brother and sis in law. The place is small but they have extended their dining area a bit. It was good food all around.

    I have to say this place has the best Shawarma in Maryland. Everywhere else gives you gyros and says it's a "Shawarm." The fries were crispy, and the garlic sauce was amazing. The service was quick, and it's a pretty chill place. I'd come back again.

    Awesome food. Tried this place for the first time last night. We ordered the Shish Tawook chicken platter, the Kofta Kebab platter, the Kibbeh appetizer, and the Tabbouleh. All four were fantastic. We moved here from Baltimore last year and had a go-to Mediterranean place that we loved in Baltimore. I think this food is even better. This is immediately going to be my go-to carry out spot around here when I don't feel like cooking. Service was friendly as well. They're in a bit of a weird location that doesn't get a lot of foot traffic, so I highly recommend giving them some support.

    Travelled 40 minutes from White marsh all the way to Eldridge because the food photos looked so good and when we ate the shawarma and hummus, we were amazed at how authentic and delicious it was. Definitely should try their hummus, it's creamy and rich in flavor. I used to live in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Qatar for work and these shawarmas hit hard. The servings are big, so worth it! We dined indoor but they have nice outdoor seating too. The staff's hospitality was utmost; attentive, kind, and generous. Highly recommended!

    Soggy French Fries

    Mid. Rice was too strong, Garlic sauce was good. The side salad for the platter was both warm and had a spicy sauce for some reason? The fries were also soggy.

    Mix platter for two and hummus appetizer.

    It truly doesn't get any better than this! I mean, I felt a little underdressed although I wore…read morenice capris and blouse. Kidding, because my friend and I were treated as if we were royalty, wearing nothing but the finest of finery. We were there just before noon on a Tuesday, not the busiest lunch of the day in every restaurant I know. But this place is enormous, so I imagine they could have accommodated two very easily, regardless. Everything was absolutely spotless, gleaming and shining - there are photos of dining there, but even in daylight, it had a beauty seen in the finest restaurants. The service was absolutely perfection - as a former wait person, I'm picky ;) Richard was there when we needed anything and left us alone to gab when we didn't. And of course, the food. The FOOD! Seriously, best Greek food I've had in years and years. I chose the lunch gyro pita, which was overflowing with tender, perfectly spiced gyro meat, with just the right balance of tomatos, onions and feta cheese. Coulda been more tzatziki but I am kind of an addict to that stuff, so it was probably just the right amount. ;) I also ordered the fasolakia (green beans simmered in tomato sauce, but that doesn't begin to explain the complex mix of flavors and textures!) So delicious, with the beans still crispy tender, and a hint of cinnamon which I dont' recall having in this dish before. It was amazing! They serve every platter, sandwich and pita with a very hefty serving of giant steak fries. They had a nice seasoning but were more like house fries. In other places, "Greek fries" had a drizzle of oil and crumbled feta so I wasn't expecting these. But yum! Good enough to bring some home, because the air fryer will make them terrific again. In all, I was so delighted and really wish this wasn't such an out of the way place from home. I definitely will come back, despite that, because there are so many dishes I want to try. As others mentioned, lots of free parking but here's a quick word of caution if you use GPS to get here. When you exit from MD100 onto Executive Park, it will tell you to take the first left but DON'T DO IT! That's the M&T Bank parking lot. Go just a tad bit farther and don't be surprised by having to look a little because it's so like a business park.

I would say this is more of a 3.5, rather than a 4 star review, continue reading ... The restaurant is beautifully decorated inside and out, with blue lights throughout. We loved that! We sat outside and were happy that the patio area wasn't very hot and that the nice large umbrellas protected us from the sun and were lit up when it got dark. We started with Saganaki, which included pita. It was flambed table side and delicious, we all loved it. We also had Calamari, I don't eat it but husband and daughter really enjoyed it. For entrees, husband had the special (filet mignon w/crab cake and shrimp on top), that came with mash potatoes and veggies. The steak was good but undercooked, the crab cake was good. Daughter had the pasta, she didn't really love it. I had the lamb shank with orzo. I don't usually like lamb but it was very tender and didn't have the aftertaste that usually comes with lamb. The service was very good, waiter was very attentive, replenished waters often and made good suggestions. Although we liked the restaurant, we felt that as a Greek restaurant there should be more Greek styled pork, chicken dishes. We also felt that some items were overpriced, specialty dish was $75, rib eye was $68, lamb shank was $55, roasted chicken was $39, etc. We will not return for another dinner, but might consider going for lunch to get gyros and Saganaki.

For a couple of months my friend, who is of Turkish heritage and lives out in Germantown, wanted to meet me closer to my home to go to Cazbar. We went on Saturday, 9/6/25 for lunch (lunch prices are better as why I shot for lunch time). We walked in, and it was fancy Middle Eastern decor. Server was nice & efficient answering questions. I got their take on flatbread pizza called Lamb Pide. Wow, the lamb and pizza as a whole was amazing. My friend got some more expensive platter, which looked good. If I came back, I'd maybe get something like what he got. My friend (& me to a lesser extent) were cogitating on getting a dessert. I think me saying we ate a lot, it's extra calories, & prices are pretty high for dessert, ended up swaying him not to get dessert. Plus, there was a Greek festival and might get a baklava or other dessert there, which I did. Overall, my impression was wow, this place is impression, and I want to go with my girlfriend one of these days, maybe on a weekend before a movie at AMC Columbia or something.

The food was well-seasoned with generous portions. Additionally, the alcoholic beverages were fresh, creative, and strong, with a wide variety of options available. The only thing is that it was super loud and the belly dancing lasted approx 30 mins so if you make a resy during the allotted time you can easily miss it like we did. I would definitely give it another shot, arriving on time!

The lentil soup was not blended (as it should be) and had little to no salt. The shawarma platter (which I thought would be an actual platter not a sandwich with sides), was alright.

Finally, we got a piece of harissa on our way out and it was decent (just a little too cold for my liking). Our waitress was nice and attentive. The ambiance is cute.

Parking is available in Public lots - you pick a lot on Google Maps, park there for free & walk for about 10 minutes or so to reach the restaurant. Not bad right? :)
