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!

The shawarma is unedible & unauthentic. Salads are really good. Fries were average. Overall not worth it.

This is an Israeli restaurant 🇮🇱🇮🇱
Its not Lebanese as indicated in many reviews here. Shawarma & salad tastes bland. Humus was mediocre. I didn't like the food. Prices are expensive I paid about $40, certainly not worth it. I even didn't enjoy the atmosphere. There are many other nice authentic shawarma places. I don't recommend this one!

First of all, the Sabich was delicious! To my personal taste, its flavours were very interesting & unique; it felt explosive & light at the same time.

The chicken shawarma with pita, the fries, & everything else were great.

It was a beautiful experience.

Great food & ambience. I got the chicken shawarma plate & was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the dish, especially the in-house pita. The staff are super kind & welcoming. It would be perfect if the store accepts Amex

Great tasty Mediterranean cuisine. Muhamra & kufta were great. Falafel & shawarma were average. Salats all excellent. It's loud place so if you are looking for place to eat in quite it's not for you.
