Update: Ordered again & we are back to the original version!
Always my to go place for take out but today the food tasted way different than usual. There was too much cabbage in my falafel pita, next, too much tomato & cucumber moisture that made the bread so soggy from inside that I could not even finish it. They did not even put their usual sauce inside today. My boyfriend ordered the shawarma & said the chicken tasted not fresh. Whatever changed here should be undone right away!

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!
