Absolutely amazing experience! The food here is incredibly delicious and flavorful, and most importantly, 100% halal. The staff is very polite, friendly, and professional—they treat every customer with great respect and kindness. The prices are also very reasonable considering the high quality and great taste of the food. I highly recommend trying this place. If you come once, you’ll definitely want to come again. Don’t miss out on this tasty halal food experience!
Small restaurant with maybe 4 or so tables to eat in or take out. Falafel was so crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Dipping sauce (a labneh-type) was delicious. Also had stuffed grape leaves which were REALLY good and lamb gyros. Pita for the gyros was soo soft and they had a great amount of filling. Definitely would return!
I’ve eaten a lot of Mediterranean food from all over and it’s one of the best I’ve ever had. You must get the lamb over rice platter. The lamb is some of the most tender meat I’ve ever eaten.
Absolutely delicious chicken / lamb gyro! The sauce is sooo tasty, they should sell bottles of it. Very fresh ingredients! Owner is really kind! We will visit again and again and tell all our friends!
Delicious!! Always fresh. Never disappoints!! Friendly, polite staff. If your looking for a delicious Mediterranean meal come here!! You will be very happy you did.
Delicious, authentic middle eastern food! We ordered hummus, baba ganoush, grape leaves, and felafel as appetizers. The felafel was out of this world!! We all ordered mixed grill meals. The meat was so fresh and delicious. The meals are so generously sized! Make sure you order some baklava as the perfect end to an excellent meal!! The owner was so kind and took great care of us. The food is made to order, so it might take longer than a typical takeout spot. Food is outstanding and worth the wait!!
Ordered the lamb over rice and the presentation, portions and flavors were great. My wife ordered the chicken gyro which she loved and they gave us extra pita bread which was also delicious. Great prices without compromising on quality.
Had a mix up with an order I placed online and called while I was clearly a bit irritated, owner answered and handled it super respectfully. He completely remedied the situation and ensured future orders would be smoother. I just want to thank the owner and staff here for taking time to correct the order for me and providing not only great service but amazing food as well!
I had the Deluxe Veggie Platter and my mom had the Mix Chicken and Lamb platter. I wish I took pictures. Portions are generous and every bite was delicious. Will definitely be a regular! There are plenty more items on the menu that I want to try. Dined in, small dining area but atmosphere was nice. Quiet cultural music overhead put you in the mind set for the dining experience.
Absolutely amazing. The staff are good people who serve great food. You can taste their love for it in every bite. The white sauce and hot sauce were incredible. Everything is seasoned to perfection and I’m so glad we stopped by here.
