Fantastic service with very a friendly and attentive staff.
Went for my son's birthday as he was craving shawarma. He got the lamb and his girlfriend got the beef shawarma. Both of them said it was very tasty.
I had the chicken curry stew and have leftovers. It came with a Greek green salad and basmati rice. So delicious and such deep flavors.
We'd come back again for sure and since my son and his girlfriend live in the area, they are adding it to their spots too.
Highly recommend it.

We enjoyed the Mediterranean food here. We have tried many other places, but this place was not to the taste we were used to. The food tasted so natural. I am sure if you grew up with this food, you would feel like you are at home.

This was a delightful find! The food so fresh and excellent , outrageously inexpensive $13 for my shish kabobs meal, friendly service, quiet setting, outdoor seating!
As I love Mediterranean food, I am so happy to find my most affordable favorite here!

Excellent food, price, service, and atmosphere! Every single item we ordered as an absolute hit. (We got the fried cauliflower, honey cantelope lemonade, ginger lemonde, beef koobideh kabab, chicken koobideh kabab, and baklava a la mode) I'm super full and very happy.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was quite large and mostly empty, which wasn't the best first impression. Our server was friendly and quirky, but a bit too hands-off. He didn't ask about side or sauce preferences and instead brought what appeared to be the default options.
The restaurant itself shows its age and could use some updating. The dining room felt a little worn, and the bathrooms were particularly rough around the edges.
I ordered the lamb shawarma wrap. It was decent overall, though I was surprised to find pickles in it. The accompanying salad looked slightly past its prime, but it still had good flavor.
On the positive side, the prices were very reasonable and offered solid value for the amount of food. As we were leaving, an older woman warmly wished us goodbye. I suspect she may have been the owner, and her kindness genuinely made me feel bad that the experience didn't quite win me over.
Overall, the food was acceptable and the prices were fair, but the service and atmosphere weren't enough to make me want to return.
