This place really hits the spot after a 3-hour class. I got the chicken doner sandwich trio with fries, & it was ready in under 10 minutes. The fries were good, & the sauce that came with them was great. Friendly service as well. The fries were probably a bit too heavy for lunch, though, so next time I'd go with the salad instead

The food is exceptional & the service too. The owner of the store was so kind to me especially as I was a student. I was amazed when I took a bite of the chicken shawarma & it was too good. It's a place I will visit again for the taste & the ambiance. Very cozy & I would recommend everyone to try it.

Better than expected. Filled with polite Concordia kids. Chicken schwarma was well seasoned & the bowl option came with tons of fresh veg. Good option for something fresh & quick

Got the chicken plate, chicken felt undercooked, portions were very small for the price, atmosphere is bad upstairs looks like a storage place, the servers were not very welcoming, I would recommend going to Antep Kebab instead
