While placing an order in person is convenient, whenever I order through UberEats, they always forget at least one item. It's happened every single time. It’s best to go in person to avoid wasting your money.

Skip Osmow's and Lazeez; this place consistently serves up generous portions. I also really like their long-grain yellow rice. My favorite dish is the tandoori chicken on rice for a spicier and more flavorful kick, but their regular chicken on rice and chicken shawarma wrap are always satisfying in a milder way. If you haven't tried it yet, you should definitely check out this spot!

I arrived after 15 minutes, only to discover that they hadn't even begun preparing my order. I had ordered a gyro wrap combo, but I've noticed a significant decline in food quality, and the portion sizes have shrunk to less than half, while the prices have increased. I used to enjoy dining here, but now I'll be seeking out another restaurant.

I asked for half a Greek salad and half rice instead of the entire meal being rice, which I thought was a straightforward change given my experience in kitchens. Unfortunately, they chose not to make this adjustment for reasons that weren't clear. Moreover, the Uber menu didn't provide the option I wanted. To make matters worse, the portion size was smaller than I had expected.

However, it seems there has been a change in ownership, as the portion sizes have noticeably decreased and the staff now often acts as if they can barely be bothered to serve customers, even on good days. On bad days, their attitude can be quite snappy. I've given them three chances, hoping each visit was just an off day, but their consistent negative demeanor has made it clear that I won’t be coming back. It's truly disappointing to see a once-exceptional establishment decline because of unkind staff who don’t seem to appreciate their customers.
