We found out about this restaurant just scrolling on maps and decided to try it and I’m so glad we did!!
The food was amazing!! We dined in and while we were waiting for our food, we were given some food to try which was a really nice gesture & also very good. Once we got our food it was fresh, and very delicious. I loved the beef kabob! Before leaving they also gave us some desserts to try which were also really good! Overall we loved everything about this place from the atmosphere to the food! I would recommend anyone to try this!! It was so good that my sister (who doesn’t like hummus) LOVED their hummus!

The staff is incredibly friendly, and the food is amazing. Portions are very generous—I had to take leftovers home for lunch the next day. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. I would definitely recommend this place!

First time customer and we will 100% be back, the food was amazing, the falafel was one of the best we’ve ever tasted, including my own homemade falafel! We had a variety plate and chicken shwarma wrap, falafel ans hummus. The hummus/falafel was so amazing we ordered more to go! Additionally, the owner im guessing who ran the register we told him it was out first time there ans he was so kind and gracious to give us a sample of the shwarma straight from the spit, and different causes to try, ask for the garlic sauce (especially with fries) it is Amazing! It’s hard to find hospitality now adays and the man was so very nice and accommodating, from the service to the food, I wish we had one in my town! Don’t miss this place!

Unreal!!! Saffron rice perfect! Light and fluffy and tasted excellent. Hummas, creamy, hints of garlic and lemon with a nice drizzle of olive oil on top.
The relish was a perfect compliment to the most perfectly seasoned lamb chops I have have had in the entire COUNTRY. Moist, tender and melt in your mouth crazy good!
The beef kabab was black Angus Filet mignon and was tender, peferctly marinated and cooked most excellent.
The falafel was crispy with golden shell and soft and moist inside. The way they should be. I can tell the oil was also clean that they were fried in.
Haroon the owner is pure joy and in conversation his passion and love for cooking and the customers is from the ❤️ 100%!
Stop by and enjoy a wonderfully prepared meal, love from the owner and a place to eat in joy and peace.

Great service and delicious food.
They were able to address my dairy allergy, and offered a beef shawarma instead of the chicken
Their Falafel, hummus and pita were also so damn good as a starter to the meal. Even the fries were perfectly cooked and delicious.
Seriously, this place is dope

absolutely delicious. had the shawarma wrap with fries, meat was well seasoned and tasty, with crunchy pickles and other vegetables. the sauces were very good, and the fries were great! the employees were very friendly, and even gave us some extra foods to try. the place even had a screen in the corner where they showed videos of them preparing the food. really nice gem, will come back

We loved this place! The food was simply unmatched, the service extremely friendly, and the place was clean and beautiful. In addition to the mixed shawarma platter, we tried falafel, drinks, and sweets, and everything was impressive. We met the owner, who told us about his passion for his restaurant and how they prepare each dish with the care, flavor, and quality they would want to eat themselves. Definitely a gem you must try! Worth every penny. ✨️✨️
