Staff is so kind & delicious food. Service was a tad slow because they were very busy, but how can you be mad when the staff is so nice! Totally recommend.

The sabich hit the spot. It had a slightly different spice profile than the other sabichs I've had, but it worked well & was a nice change. Would recommend.

One of the best hidden gems I've come across in a long time. The food & atmosphere are both incredible. The falafels were perfectly crispy, honestly some of the best I've ever had. We had the sabich pita, & it was packed with rich, authentic flavors & amazing sauces. Highly recommend giving this place a try!
