The small Chicken Shawarma was as long as my forearm, and the Nachos Shawarma was loaded with chicken and veggies—enough to serve 4 to 6 people!

They forgot to add cheese to my sub, and it needed to be cooked longer. It was soggy, and the Donair sauce was quite runny.

The beef was incredibly tender, while the chicken was slightly dry (I think using thighs instead of breast meat would make it better). The lamb was minced and a bit dry as well, but it was well-seasoned and tasted great. There was actually an extra piece of beef compared to the photo, but I was really hungry and couldn’t wait! The rice was excellent too. I would definitely order this again.

The Food: I highly recommend the Chicken Shawarma—the bread is incredibly fresh (they actually get it from the bakery next door! and the pomegranate sauce adds a unique tang you don't find elsewhere. Their signature Smoked Rice is a game-changer; it has a deep, applewood aroma that pairs perfectly with the Mixed Kebab plate. We also tried the Baklava for dessert, which was crispy, honey-soaked, and clearly made with care. The Experience: The atmosphere is cozy with beautiful Turkish decor and comfortable seating. Even though I’m currently dealing with a shoulder injury and have my arm in a sling, the staff (shoutout to the very friendly chef and the waiter was exceptionally patient and helpful, making sure we were comfortable and well-taken care of. Verdict: Generous portions, fair prices, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. Whether you're looking for a quick wrap or a full sit-down dinner, this place is a 10/10. I’ll definitely be back once I'm fully healed!
