The service was very poor. Although the food was acceptable, the person who serves the costumers was very unkind. Therefore, my experience in this location was very unpleasant.

there's a 10 minute wait for the food, but it's so worth it for the fresh baked bread. their spicy chicken shawarma is something serious & I like that they put in mint (& I think yogurt?) it's excellent

I come here often, the staff is kind & the food is always fresh. The fries, chicken sandwich & the lahmajoun are worth trying.
