Simplement un B A N G E R ! Allez y les yeux fermés. Il mérite plus de passage. Les 2 premiers sont tops, ayant testé le 3eme burger. On reste sur ces 2 valeurs surs !
It's like fast-food without table service but they still ask for tip when you pay. Regretted to tip when I realised you have to PAY for water. Got the shawarma pita, pita is nice but the chicken is a bit dry.
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!
EXCELLENT! Rien à dire c'était simplement succulent. Le service rapide & chaleureux. La fraîcheur & la qualité est plus qu'au rdv! C'est notre nouveau restaurant préféré.
