I do however love the new soup and the accompanying arugala and sauce with falafal. The veggies were overcooked, that was very dissappointing...though undoubtedly the flavor was there. It just might have been the day and they have always been consistent, I hope this was just a one off.

The shawarma was packed with flavor and topped with a tangy sauce, making it a satisfying meal. To start, I had the Sudki Hummus, which was creamy and topped with pine nuts that added a delightful textural contrast—definitely a highlight of the meal. My friends ordered the falafel wrap, which was delicious and complemented by a spicy sauce that enhanced the flavors. They also tried the Arab Swag Tacos, a fantastic blend of flavors served generously with rice and a spicy sauce. As if the delicious food and excellent service weren't enough, we wrapped up our evening with a comedy fundraiser. The talent on stage was impressive, and I’m already looking forward to next month's show. I will definitely be trying the lamb barbacoa tacos next time!
