Ordered to go. It was packed inside which is a good indication they’re good! I’ve never had a beef Shawarma, only chicken, and I really enjoyed it. The side Mediterranean salad was delicious, both were great. The man who gave me my food was very nice. I’ll be back.

I honestly don’t enjoy leaving negative reviews, especially for small local businesses, but I want to share my experience for others. We were driving by and decided to stop in since we were hungry and curious to try it out. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. We weren’t greeted when we walked in, and the staff didn’t seem very friendly or welcoming. We ordered the kofta wrap and the kofta plate. The food took about 35 minutes to arrive, which felt long considering the place wasn’t very busy. The kofta itself was mushy and undercooked in texture (see photo of the wrap). There were also drain flies on our table and even on the water, which really affected the overall dining experience. The one bright spot was the French fries — they were hot, crispy, and honestly delicious. Also, I appreciated that the waitress kindly offered my daughter a cup of hot water when she mentioned she wanted something soothing for her gums. That small gesture meant a lot. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I don’t think I’ll be coming back.

6 stars. Not 5, but 6. They are that good. Food is excellent, portions are generous, prices are reasonable, service is great. Literally the perfect restaurant. Ordered the lamb kebab $24 and veggie sampler $16 (comes with pita bread) via doordash. Order was on time, they accommodated every special request I made. Small/medium sized restaurant with indoor seating only

A solid 3.5 stars. Their menu contained all the staples you would expect from a Mediterranean restaurant. We opted for their chicken kebab plate and kofta wrap. Both dishes were tasty. The fries were a bit dry and under seasoned, but you can opt for a salad instead. Service was great. Everyone was so friendly. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu.

First time here and we really enjoyed everything we ordered! Truly they know how to cook. We got the beef kebab, chicken and lamb combo kebab and the meat for both plates were soo tender! We ate our food so fast because it was so good. The service was great, super attentive. Only one minor thing is that it does take the food a bit to come out but after getting our food I understand why. You can tell they took time to cook everything cause all the dishes tasted fresh and they all came out hot or perfect temperature. Would definitely come back again since we’re not too far away. Happy we found this place and will recommend to all our friends.
