The portion is small (kebab) & the taste is very neutral. In Slovakia & Ukraine the taste is three times better & portions almost two times bigger.

Falafel pitas were soooo good (& they actually make the pitas in-house! wow!). The fries are also really nice--golden & crispy. I've found my new falafel spot downtown for sure! The owner was there, I think, & he was so nice & responded to all my questions.
