One of the best falafel sandwiches I’ve ever had. Owner is super nice and made the falafel fresh. The ratio of falafel to hummus to veggies to sauce to pita was perfect. Whatever spices he used made the veggies taste so fresh. And the fresh lemon peel gave both the sandwich and the lentil soup (also excellent and recommended by the owner) a nice kick. Can’t wait to come back and try the shawerma.

I saw this little shop on my way to a friends anniversary celebration nearby and noted that I should try to visit this place once I had a moment of time.
Note here that’s it’s cash only but they do accept Zelle.
The nicely seasoned steak off a rotating spit (shawarama) and served in a pita with onions, tomato and tahini sauce was really excellent. It had a good char on the meat and the toppings complimented the salty and seasoned fatty steak.
Their fries was unique to me. Not quite know how it was prepared but the outer skin of the fries kind of puffed into a crunchy “chex” texture with a steamy soft interior. I could eat a huge bag of this. Salt is the only thing that is needed for this.
Is this “Best Shawerma” ever? Perhaps, but I have only a few recollections of ever trying this specific labeled food (shawarma). I have more experience with a similar style of food from the Greek and Mediterranean options. This is on par with some of the best I have had.
The staff, chef and cook was very friendly and prepared food fresh and to order. Ill definitely try more items on their menu next time I am in the Burbank area.

This place is really small and crowded. The guy taking my order had a hard time understanding what I wanted in English. I’m only dissatisfied mostly because the entire order was wrong. Prices are a little on the higher side— I will post updated menu and prices as of August 2025.
$45 for a combination bowl and a wrap. Including fries I never received.
Other than that, food had good flavor overall. You are probably going to wait a long time for your food because it’s only 1 person taking and prepping orders. That is also another reason for my review. The guy was grabbing cash and then grabbing the food. Not sure how I feel about that.
By the way, this place is CASH ONLY and they do have an ATM available but for a small fee.

Literally the BEST food! You will go back again and again. And if you are lucky, the sweet man who is always there (I’m guessing the owner) to give you an unexpected taste of something yummy (I’ve tried the lentil soup and he just surprised someone who had never had falafel with a mini falafel sandwich to try-and of course gave me one too). Bring cash or use the ATM, you won’t be disappointed!

Average at best, overpriced, and disappointing.
I had high expectations based on the Google reviews, but the experience didn’t match the hype at all. The shawarma itself was just okay — nothing memorable in flavor, portion, or preparation. On top of that, the price felt excessive for what was served, to the point where I’m not even sure if I was overcharged.
This area seems tricky when it comes to reviews, because the ratings feel disconnected from the actual quality. If you’re used to good shawarma, this will likely fall short. I’ll stick to eating shawarma in Dearborn going forward.

The best shawarmas I’ve ever eaten, and the exquisite lentil soup are a must-try. The service is excellent, and the prices are affordable.
