“ Ive gone a total of five times. Each time trying something new! This is the type of food that makes you feel at home. It takes me back to when I was younger, growing up in a richcultured household, where we would sit at a table as a family and eat every night after my father came home from work. Passing dishes around from one sibling to another telling stories and laughing. The Shawarma sandwiches are as authentic as it gets. I tried the beeflamb annd also the chicken Shawarma. Each bite better than the last. The falafel is second to none. The authenticity of the Kabseh platter is an experience of its own. I could go on and on. But what really brings me back the warm welcome and incredible customer service experience. These people have a true knack and talent. This is what you want from someone making your food. People who love what they do, know what theyre doing, and confident in their ability to provide the best quality recipes. Surely they gained a customer for life! And I will Continue to bring my wife and children back here so we can share experiences and make more memories. ”
