This restaurant is a true gem. The service was very friendly & the place is clean. I was supposed to eat half in the restaurant & half to go, but the Sheed pita i took was too delicious to stop eating. The meat was hot & flavourful, the vegetables were fresh & crunchy, the sauce paired delicously with everything. I also appreciate the many vegetarian options they have! I will definitely be back!!

Comme l'affiche l'indique, le titre du meilleur falafel en ville est bien mérité! Peu d'espace pour s'asseoir mais staff sympathique.
