The muhamara was delicious with good ingredients, the bread was, the chicken shawarma was good the portion for 3 is actually more like for 2 peol.
The portion are not generous at all , salade, meat or anything…the waitress took time to explained how they fonction & she was friendly.
you need to pays $3 per extra little bread, fries are $12 …so it's more like you go for taste not to be full especially for the price.
It took us 23 minutes tu be served the shawarma & meat after getting the mouhamea.
The water was free 🙏
The food was okay, the sumac fries were not crispy & slightly undercooked. The kefta was just flat out bad & undercooked. The shawarma was good but a bit dry. The humus was really good anc so were the salads.
Great little gem in the area! We were 4 people & we shared the family sized chicken shawarma, falafel, & salads, as well as a dish of hummus, muhammara, & pitas.
Everything was absolutely delicious!
The chicken shawarma was juicy, the salads were all really great as well, but the standout was the falafel. They were warm, pillowy, & a billion times better than any pre-made falafel you can find at a Mediterranean restaurant. Definitely the best I've ever tried. The muhammara was really good too, it was my first time trying it & will definitely have it again. The pitas were also great, warm & fluffier than your typical pita.
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!
Flavourful & great option for take out - definetly try the cold eggplant dish with eggs, as well as their shawarma & dip platters are GREAT 💛 can't wait to be back
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!
