Delicious Mediterranean food 😋😋😋 lots of options to choose from. Fries with beef and chicken shawarma were amazing. Meet was well seasoned, juicy and tender. Gyro plate was outstanding as well, especially with tzaziki and green goddess sauces. Definitely recommend!!

Did a takeout dinner for four and it was terrific. Large selection of middle Eastern salads, bowls, gyros and sandwiches, etc. Ingredients all really fresh and ability to customize your bowl. Hummus and all else delicious!

Good food, good service, what more could you ask for? The chicken kabob was flavorful and they were very generous with the toppings. Paid about $15 for the pita wrap and it was huge, I couldn’t finish it all but sure wanted to.

The food was good! I liked their Falafel on Pita bread! The bread was good and their vegetables were fresh. I liked their sauces and the price was reasonable. The menu may be a little confusing but you can figure it out if you ask them to explain. The fries was OK, but not as good! A good Middle Eastern fast food!

I liked this place. It’s casual eatery with some indoor and outdoor tables. The food is delicious. Rich flavors. Wide variety of healthy toppings. Pickles are my favorite yummy. I like the falafel. It’s fresh and well cooked. The bread is fresh made in the restaurant. They have wide variety of hummus. Also many sides options like grapes leaves, babaghanoush, grilled veggies. Overall I like it and I will be back.
