This is very cute, small place. Very intentional and inspired seating and decorations. Upfront, I don't really eat this cuisine too much but I tried it today. Shawarma sandwich was tasty... It had french fries inside it... Different... Not my speed but OK, that's different.... The sauce was not my favorite, but I could see there was a lot of pride and thought put in to the dish.... Nice staff. No complaints. Very well appointed place.

Friendly staff. Small place (only 2 tables) you can eat outside but make sure it's good weather. The chicken shawarma plate was kinda sweet and not fresh. I paid $18.12 for the plate and $5.66 for the lemon juice. Both were overpriced compared to their website prices.

The service was great. We walked in, took our time, and ordered. The guy at the counter was patient. The atmosphere is okay, it's a tiny place in the city, yet they are decorated well. There is a 0roblem with the door, though it doesn't close properly. On a cold and windy night, like ours, it was not ideal. Overall, it's an alright place for the price. I get it. We are in the city, but I could've had very similar food for a more affordable price.

4.5 rounded up. After a long road trip, I was craving something healthy and full of vegetables. The Vegan Arabic Sandwich hit the spot. The falafels were light and crispy. The tart pickles provided a great contrast in taste and texture. The cauliflower was roasted. The eggplant and zucchinis rounded out the sandwich. I think they even toasted the pita. ?. Nov 2024.

We came and I got the chicken burger with fries and my boyfriend got chicken over rice. My chicken was nice and crispy. It was not oily or it was not hard. It was plane good loved it the cheese sauce was great. The fries were nice and crispy. Not oily just good fries. My boyfriend loved his chicken and rice with salad. He loved the seasoning the flavor or the chicken and he loved the ric. Overall great nice fresh food definitely try it you will love it.
