I did not know what to expect because the person who rang me up had to cook my order as well..... It is DELICIOUS!! Perfectly cooked grilled chicken and eggplant seasoned to perfection, along with the creamiest hummus. And I think the pita was made from scratch? I can also taste that they use quality olive oil and yogurt. The man working there (the owner perhaps? warned me that it would take 15 minutes, because he cooks everything from scratch. He was most definitely telling the truth. And very reasonably priced. If ever in the area I highly recommend this little gem for a tasty and fresh lunch.

Good value for the price but drinks a little limited and on the high side$. All in all a good meal! I'll go back for again! Worth a stop in. Since dining room not open walked across street to Park and really enjoyed the time. Highly recommend

We tried the pilaf made with beef that has a bit of their eggplant salad on the side. Very savory and the eggplant salad was a very lightly pickled mix of cold veg. Also tried the lamb kebab with rice as well as the pork shawarma wrap. Both very flavorful as was the hummus appetizer that we really didn't need but were so glad we tried. You get a lot of food here! My only possible quibble is that I prefer meat to be super well trimmed and the chef does leave a little bit of fat on for the lovely flavor Will definitely be coming back soon...and often.

Great service. Amazing eggplant salad to go. Love this place read more Great service. Amazing eggplant salad to go. Love this place
