I guess we were unlucky but the lafalel pita was bland & barely had any sauce. The tables & seats were not clean & we had to wipe them to sit & eat

Everything was incredibly fresh & wonderful!

Only downside is finding parking! Luckily I dropped off my passenger, who ran in & got our takeout, & we were off!

Ce resto est un BIJOU! Les ingrédients sont frais, les plats sont succulents & généreux, le staff est accueillant, les prix sont hyper raisonnable - c'est tout ce que tu pourrais vouloir dans un petit restaurant de quartier. Bref, absolument tout est de qualité, ce qui fait de cette place notre favorite dans le coin.
