First time visiting the area and I was super excited to see Shawarma sandwiches, but man what a disappointment. The food took a while to be prepped, seemed that there is only one person working in the store. The store smelled a little odd but I thought it was just the food being cooked ( I should’ve left right there). We ordered shawarma wrap, kafta wrap and chicken pieces for my child. The food took longer than expected and wraps came out. It looked presentable but the taste was awful. The meat was dry and rubbery, some of the meat was burnt. There was a ton of pungent onion in the wrap as well to cover up the bad taste of the low quality non-seasoned meat. We are quite disappointed with the quality of the food and would not come back.
I wanted to sit outside as the AC was cranking indoors but the seat cushions were whipped and no tables to eat on. I don’t recommend going here and it is not reasonably priced at all.

Worst shawarma I’ve ever had. I’m European and I’ve had a lot of styles of shawarma. Middle Eastern people typically make phenomenal shawarma, but not this place. I had the steak one.
Not only was it $16 which was insane and I wouldn’t return on that alone, but the steak was chewy, dry, and the overall flavor was of a dirty grill and other weird flavors.
On the plus side, the young lady at the front was very kind.
You don’t do this to shawarma Will never return again.

The husband and I have been waiting for the summer crowds to thin out to try Madeline’s. It was definitely worth the wait. While not exactly the shawarma we remember fondly from our years in Europe, the flavors were wonderful.
I ordered the beef and the husband ordered the chicken. The shawarma came cut in half so we each tried half of each. The chicken had a nice sharp garlic kick and the beef had a great Mediterranean flavor.
The restaurant is rather small but has indoor seating and a couple of outdoor bistro-style tables as well.
The food took a bit to get, but we didn’t mind the wait and used the time to see the large photos on the walls.

Mashaallah! Absolutely delicious food! The wife and I stopped in today, and we were treated to the best hospitality and genuinely kind service. The best shawarma I have ever had. Hot and crispy fries and amazing music. This is certified hot spot in my book.

The food was actively terrible, most importantly the meat was insanely chewy, I actually couldn’t even break down the food to swallow it. 0/10, stay away. Huge waste of $30.

I’ve ordered take-out from here several times over the last 4 years and have had pretty good food. But this recent order was horrible. The chicken shawarma was completely dried out, hard & no seasonings, no flavor or even color to the chicken. I’ve never seen shawarma look like that ever in my life. Inedible & so over priced for bad chicken & mushy white rice.
The falafel sandwich must have been warmed up too long because everything inside was hot; the lettuce & tomatoes turned into cooked vegetables, along with other ingredients. The sandwich fell apart as I’m eating it and was completely ruined.
I hate to say it but I will no be returning after that poor quality food.. Not worth trying again. Too expensive.

Charming and quiet this was a pleasant sanctuary to enjoy some quality cuisine. Good food prepared fresh is not cheap and I prefer a restaurateur to not go broke, so the cost was not an issue to us. Healthy proportions, delicious ingredients, and the peaceful experience will keep us coming back.
