I love this place! It has great variety, and it's quick! I don't really see any sitting area, unless you sit in your card i'm pretty sure its only to go. The service is quick and inside is small. The falafels come in a heart shape! Love it here! Definitely will be coming back!
Customer service was amazing! Extremely friendly and kind. Food came out extremely quickly. Wasn't the biggest fan of some of the sides in the plate but the sauce, meat, veggies, and rice were amazing. Fries were also so flavorful and good!
Parking is a nightmare. Food is mediocre, overhyped due to the history around this location. Lots of food but lacks alot of flavor. Staffs are great. The vibe felt very "outdated" as half of the restaurant was used as dining table storage in visible sight.
This little hole in the wall is a great stop. It's been on my husbands list for awhile and their heart shaped falafel is adorable and freshly made. We got the falafel plate and chicken schwarma pocket and both were excellent. They were generous portions. The gentleman at the front, may have been the owner was very kind and welcoming and explained everything well. We'll def be coming back.
Mediterranean comfort food! Whenever I'm in the mood for it, this place comes to mind. This is exclusively a takeout spot and the food has been delicious so far. The staff will really fill up the plate with food, so portions are huge. Ordering is easy, first you choose your meat, style, and lastly, add your complimentary toppings. I've only had the plates, but I think I will try the pocket sandwich next time. For the meat, I usually go with the Falafel because it's my favorite. You can also go with half and half and get two proteins, I've tried the Achilles Chicken and Gyro, both were delicious. For the toppings, you can add everything, but everything gets a bit meshed up and you don't really know what you're eating. It all tastes good though. The essentials toppings for me would be hummus, tomato, cucumbers, olives, onion, tzatziki sauce, and spicy sauce.
Friendly and casual spot for yummy food! We got the chicken shawarma plate with all the toppings and tzatziki and tahini sauce! Portions were massive and service was very friendly! The guy even asked us if we liked beef and gave us extra gyros for free! Food was filling and well flavored. Meat was super yummy too! I would come back again :))
