I asked for a coke and was served water, not coke. I ordered a chicken shwarma but was served a chicken kabob sandwich. When I pointed out the error the server told me that that was what I ordered. I should have called the manager but decided to just eat the kabob. Big mistake. It was absolutely tasteless, no seasoning, not even salt. Not sure what the sauce was. It should have been a cucumber yogurt but was a tasteless white runny mess. There were a few chunks of chicken with a lot of lettuce, certainly not worth what I paid. To be fair, the manager apologized but did not offer any compensation, not even a dessert or coffee. We will not go back. Parking: Right in front

All three times I’ve asked for cold ones as they have hot and cold on their menu, but they always give me hot ones. When I ask about it they get very upset and tell me I am wrong. The first time I didn’t say anything, the second time she grabbed the box from me so aggressively like I was bothering her, this was after a back and forth about the kind I told her I wanted. This last time, I said cold please cold grape leaves and pointed to the menu, still got hot ones. When I said please this keeps happening to me he insisted I was wrong I just grabbed my box and left. I didn’t have the patience this time. I know one customer probably doesn’t matter, but I won’t be back.

There were a variety of lovely looking pastries in a display case. Gluten friendly and vegetarian main and appetizer options were available including gluten sensitive pita bread and some menu revision options like the falafel (so we would make sure to let them know any dietary preferences before ordering). The serving size seemed reasonable for the price and the ingredients looked fresh. We would definitely return.
