Place was neat and clean and food was decent. I did not like what I ordered but it was not because it was bad. I like trying new things but did not like what I tried that night. My son and cousin liked what they ordered. Staff were friendly.

So after driving 1 1/2 from Orlando we get there right when they were closing(9pm). They were gracious enough to let us pray Isha there and then cooked our food to go. The food amazing , fairly priced and generous portions. Freshly squeezed lemonade one of the best I\'ve ever had. My family and I will definitely return again soon.

Driving back up to NJ from Tampa. Took a lunch break here, and turned out to be a great find. Definitely try the mint lemonade. The chicken and gyro platters are great. Prices are very reasonable.

Very good food and definitely the better of the two Mediterranean halal restaurants in Gainesville. The service is very friendly and fast and they allowed us to pray our salaah in jamaat at the back part of the dining hall. We had the chicken panini, gyro wrap and mint lemonade and I have no complaints about any of it.

The sole reasonable halal food place is gainesville. Food is cheap, Shwarma/gyro is very good. Make sure you ask whether the food is halal, they have non halal items as well.

We were on our way to another supermarket here when we decided to stop here and eat. And it was just a great choice! The atmosphere was cozy and very comfortable. Beautiful pictures on the wall and a little shop in the back of the restaurant, too. The cashier lady was superkind, polite, and welcoming in a way your friend would be. And now for the best part: The Food! We ordered a Falafel Platter and it was so refreshing and delicious. Of a small place like this, I didn't expect the food to be garnished or look decorated, but it was!! Really tasty falafels, fresh and crumbly kind of like home-made ones with drizzles of tahini sauce. The tabuleh salad and hummus were very delicious, too. You will definitely get more than your money's worth. My picture might not do justice to the platter, because we were really hungry. But definitely try this place even if for a quick bite!

The owner was very kind and made sure we were satisfied the whole time. The ladies were also very sweet. The food came out very quickly and tasted fresh. The establishment was very clean, and the food was delicious. Would definitely come here again. He also has a prayer room in the back for customers to pray in which is so thoughtful! Not to mention the prices are so low for halal meat!

Ordered lamb shank platter, all the lamb pieces are just pieces of fat you can not cut it and they give you a plastic knife. I didn’t ask for my money back I just decided to not come back, but the gyro is good.
