Hands down the best shawarma I've ever had in my life! The chicken was incredibly flavorful with the perfect level of spice,juicy, tender, & cooked just right. The hummus was rich & creamy, & the pita was fresh, soft, & absolutely delicious. Every bite was amazing. Definitely a must try if you're in the area!

The shawarma pita got shrinkflationed since I last ordered it, $40 for a sandwich & fries is a bit crazy. Ingredients are fresh, no doubt, but spending nearly $50 for a small pita & fries is wild, even in this economy. I likely shalln't return!

This is a cute little spot to pop into & the food is 10/10! The falafel plate was perfect. The pita bread was warm & seasoned just right. The plate came with hummus which was creamy, garlicky, & delicious. You can pick 2 sides to go with your plate. I chose the cucumber, tomato salad, & the cauliflower fennel mix. Both items were fresh & healthy.
The staff is kind & helpful.

Consistently great. Food is fresh & of good quality. Their mouhammara is outstanding as is their zaatar type bread. Staff is very accommodating. Great spot when looking for a healthy meal that's not boring nor bland.

The restaurant has a more modern vibe compared to other Lebanese places, which is refreshing. However, I found it disappointing that they don't bring the menu or bill to the table, which feels less welcoming. We ordered the chicken shawarma & kafta kebab. The chicken was delicious & juicy, but the kebab, unfortunately, was tough. The salad seemed far from fresh, as if it had been prepared days in advance. The fries, though, were the standout! They were a masterpiece, especially with the sumac sprinkled on top, which made them unique & absolutely delicious. Overall, a mixed experience, with some definite highlights & a few areas for improvement.
