The price per person is between $10 and $20, which is quite reasonable. The food was excellent—giving it a perfect score of 5 out of 5. The service also deserves a 5, as they were attentive and welcoming. The atmosphere is great as well, so I’d rate it a solid 5. I highly recommend trying the Beef Shawarma Plate and the Falafel Plate!

The owner, or was he the manager, was really helpful and deciding what to choose off the menu. It's a sit-down place but feels like a takeoutplace as well. Good atmosphere, delicious food. A buddy and I opted for the lamb, made two different ways. He opted for thelamb kebab, which was quite a hefty portion, and also a Mediterranean style salad. The salad was great, it's like a choppediceberg lettuce, with some tomato, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, and some onion in the mix. Seasoned with oregano, olive oilcome on a dash of vinegar, it's Tangy and refreshing all in one bite. The salad was huge, definitely a huge Bowl full. I gotthe sliced lamb plate, which also came with hummus and a salad. And some pita bread as well. It's like chipped beef, but lamb.Really tasty, quite flavorful. It's tangy, it's juicy, it's tender and moist. Since it comes with a few Pita breads, I madelittle mini Gyros, if that's what you want to call them. Spread some hummus in, put in some sliced lamb, and you're good togo. Service was great, both the waiter, and a person who I believe was either the owner or a manager came by to check up on usquite a few times over the course of 45 minutes or so. We took our time, and the outdoor seating was very pleasant this time ofyear. I think people who would really get the most out of this would be smaller families, and also Travelers passing throughthe area, like people riding their bicycles or motorcycles. It's definitely a place where you can hang out, enjoy some fresh airoutside, or relax inside.
