This place is so good. Never been to the restaurant, but really need to go. Frequently order from UberEats and it’s always amazing. Pictures are most of a vegan falafel platter (haha already dug in). Their vegan inferno falafel wrap is soooo good! Haven’t tried the steak swarma wrap myself, but my picky 7 year old LOVES it and they were great about accommodating his request for no veggies. Great place and awesome to have vegan options that deliver and taste great!
Had genie platter and hummus with pita. Pita tasted good and they give a lot. Hummus was also pretty good. Genie bowl was ok. Salad dressing was very acidic. Rice had little flavor. Mostly picked out the steak and made hummus- tzatziki tacos. Would probably give it another shot.

The shawrma is amazing , will be my weakly stop absolutely. Thanks for the custom sandwich you made for me , That was M1A1 Tank 😂
Meet there for dinner every so often with friends. The food is always good. Amazingly the owner remembers most of the names of our group of 8+. It's a great place for family and friends, especially if you want to try something different than the usual fare. Had the steak, it was delicious. Met a group of friends there and even though we all arrived at different times, the service was excellent.
This place is awesome. The staff is very friendly and the food quality is high. Whenever I'm in the area I pass up every other option available and make it a point to eat here. No other shawarma I've had has come close to matching the taste at this place. The menu is limited for a reason - they do what they do right, as opposed to places that have a thousand things on the menu with 90% of it being inedible to anyone with a tongue. Give it a shot, you can't go wrong.
We were visiting from Kentucky. My family wanted to try something different, so we chose Mediterranean. We were delightfully surprised!! The food was outstanding, the staff very friendly, and the restaurant was VERY clean and neat. Great experience. I have never been able to eat Hummus (store bought, just didn't like it) but the Hummus at Genie Den I loved!! Everything is home made and you can tell. Great job Genie Den!!
Absolutely no complaints, quite the opposite. I don't want to waste too much of your time, just go to the Genie Den! Excellent service, divine-tasting foods, and a wonderful atmosphere. I got the lunch special steak sandwich with pita chips. Best thing I've eaten for the past month.
Great food!! Staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming and pleasant. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the mood for a good meal. The food is very unique and delicious and I would recommend the garlic zaatar fries. This is a place I will return to anytime I'm in the area
Geni Den hit every mark.

Ordered a few things on the menu, embraced my inner fatty... Err foodie*.
Garlic fries - I was expecting chunks of garlic like most places but nope, curve ball!, it was a creamy garlic sauce over shoestring fries and powdered with an awesome herb blend.
6 pc Falafel - stands up against any other falafel I've had. If you love falafels you'll more than likely love these.
Chicken & Steak Shawarma Deluxe - The meat was moist and FULL of flavor! The vegetables and salad had an amazing dressing on it (normally I prefer no dressings). It was hand squeezed lemon, olive oil and a proprietary blend of spices.
... Just realized I didn't eat my olive. For shame!
Chicken shawarma rice bowl - Perfect size for my wife and just as good as my dish.
So glad we decided to come here instead of the chain restaurants!!
Awesome, friendly, clean, comfortable, super delicious, very fresh food, wonderfully spiced, and excellently priced! Will put this on my 'A list' for anytime I am in the area! Highly recommend!
