Absolutely mouth-watering & savoury food! A wonderful delight & unforgettable experience. You'll want to eat their everyday with their affordable prices & tasty options! Also a must to try their falafels even as a side. Highly recommended spot!
I'm always on the lookout for that amazing taste of pita from Israel, & I've recently discovered this place that comes close. I heard the owner lived in Israel, which might explain the authentic flavour. I recommend this place.

Excellent quality food made with fresh ingredients & a lot of flavour. Crispy falafel, homemade hummus, fresh salad with mint, & hot soft pita bread. Everything is delicious. Service is good too & the dining area is cozy & clean. I would highly recommend!
Je n'ai jamais vue de ma vie autant de passion & d'amour mit dans la préparation d'un plat de falafel. & donc... au gout, quel régale! Frais, croustillant....gouteux! Recommande les yeux fermés & le coeur inspiré! - Guigui ami de Miri
